Israel’s Rafah invasion shows Biden admin stance isn’t ‘clear’
. . .
No ... the US position is NOT RESPECTED anymore.
Israel HAS begun ops in/near Rafah now. Today they
closed off the border crossing with Egypt - seems
Hamas was STILL getting mil supplies and such
through that route. So much for our "friends" in
Egypt keeping an eye on things ...
There have also been some strikes IN Rafah, though
they do seem a little more specific than what Israel
did in the rest of Gaza - so far.
Yesterday, Israel dropped leaflets warning the
refugees in Rafah as to where they shouldn't
be. This immediately caused Hamas to at least
say it'd agree with the Cease-Fire-Agreement
version 99.9 ... but this time Israel did not
bother to respond. Time was UP ... Hamas
should have gone with 99.8 but that's come
and gone.
The USA is kind of obligated to weep for "civilian"
casualties ... though the "civilians" have been so
complicit with Hamas for so long the term barely
applies. The truth Israel, maybe even Joe, realize
is that Hamas HAS to be physically broken apart
and destroyed. They are fanatics and nothing less
will get it done.
