Senate Dem says blocking weapons shipments ‘on the table’ if
Israel invades Rafah
Democrats are increasingly worried about what an all-out
Israeli offensive on Rafah will mean for civilians in Gaza.
. . .
The Euro news has been nothing but WHINING about
Gazans and their terroristic 'government' for months
now.
No doubt this IS influencing Washington/Biden and
efforts to ignore it are running out quickly.
Meanwhile Bebe said just yesterday that he's NOT
going to wait, NOT going to spare Rafah, because
his mission is to DESTROY Hamas once and for all.
He's old, no political future, so he can DO stuff
like that.
My guess is that Israel can act more quickly than
the 'international community' can react. The job
can be done before the Security Council and such
can manage to schedule a meeting.
Hamas is now counting on Ramadan to be its "shield"
in addition to all the civvies. I don't think that
is gonna work out for them ....
Alas, a big bad Hezbollah waits in the wings ...
Oh yea ... Israel is the ONLY western-friendly port
in the middle east. I don't think it CAN be screwed
or abandoned. It's just TOO strategic.
