Biden Rambles When Asked on Air Force One About Meeting Survivors of Israel Terror Attack

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. President Joe Biden rambled while talking to reporters on Air Force One late Wednesday night after meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel following the deadly Palestinian terrorist attacks there last weekend.

Biden was asked by a reporter about how meeting survivors and first responders on the trip impacted him.

“Look, I spent an hour and a half about with the 17 or 18 before and–, I don’t know how to say this,” he said. “Virtually every–, mass shooting–, every–, circumstance where large number of people have been victimized and lost, I’ve spoken with them.”

“I learned a long time ago, but you all learned in your life as well, when someone’s going through something that is beyond their comprehension — that they never thought they’d have to go through — if they see someone who they think understands or maybe been through something not the same but similar, it gives them some sense of hope,” he said. “And I always get criticized sometimes by my staff because when I go to these events, I stay for three or four hours and answer all their questions, but it matters.”

Biden to Seek ‘Unprecedented’ Israel Aid Package; Pledges $100 Million for Humanitarian Relief in Gaza and West Bank

By CNBC. President Joe Biden reaffirmed America’s commitment to Israel on Wednesday in Tel Aviv, where he blamed a deadly hospital blast on militants inside Gaza.

“Based on the information we’ve seen to date, it appears it was a result of an errant rocket fired by a terrorist group in Gaza,” he said.

Biden also committed $100 million in humanitarian assistance to Gaza and the West Bank, to support the more than 1 million people displaced by the ongoing conflict.

The president said he planned to ask Congress for an “unprecedented support package for Israel’s defense” but did not elaborate.

Biden arrived in Tel Aviv hours after an explosion killed hundreds of people taking shelter at the al-Ahli Arab Baptist Hospital in Gaza. (Read more from “Biden to Seek ‘Unprecedented’ Israel Aid Package; Pledges $100 Million for Humanitarian Relief in Gaza and West Bank” HERE)

Biden Returns to U.S. From Israel Trip as He Prepares to Address the Nation

/0 Comments/in , /by

As Air Force One was refueling at Ramstein Air Base in Germany Wednesday night, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to reporters about his call with Egyptian President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi about opening the Gaza-Egypt border for humanitarian aid.

Biden told reporters that al-Sisi was “completely cooperative” and “deserves some real credit because he was accommodating.”

After more than 10 days of the war, at least 3,000 Palestinians and 1,400 Israelis have been killed, according to the Wall Street Journal. . .

China supports Egypt’s efforts to open humanitarian corridors, and is willing to strengthen coordination with Egypt and Arab countries to promote an early, comprehensive and lasting solution for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, Chinese state media said on Thursday.

China appreciates Egypt’s role in cooling the situation, and stressed that the most urgent task is for a ceasefire and stopping the war as soon as possible, President Xi Jinping said in talks with Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly on Thursday morning.

Top Law Firm Rescinds Job Offers to Ivy League Students Who Signed Anti-Israel Statements

/0 Comments/in , /by

A top law firm has reportedly rescinded its job offers to Ivy League students who signed anti-Israel statements in response to the mass murder of Jews in Israel by Hamas.

Davis Polk, a top U.S. law firm, said in an internal email to employees that the students’ statements do not represent the firm’s values, according to a report by NBC News.

The law firm announced that it has already rescinded three letters of employment for law students from both Harvard and Columbia University, as they signed onto organizational statements about Israel.

“These statements are simply contrary to our firm’s values and we thus concluded that rescinding these offers was appropriate in upholding our responsibility to provide a safe and inclusive work environment for all Davis Polk employees,” Neil Barr, Managing Partner of Davis Polk & Wardwell, said in the email.

Maybe Biden Should Cancel His Israel Trip After What Happened to the German Chancellor (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

President Joe Biden is reportedly on his way to Israel, and he should probably come back. I’m not talking about fear regarding him potentially falling down the stairs of Air Force One. There are legitimate security concerns, as you know. He’s entering a nation on the brink of a massive land operation in Gaza. Rocket attacks are occurring from all corners of the country. Biden has already delivered a statement of total support for Israel and offered, as presidents in the past have done when the Jewish State comes under threat, anything they would require to defend themselves.

But a video of German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and his advisers taking cover on the tarmac at Ben Gurion International Airport in Tel Aviv is something else. They were later escorted to a bomb shelter:

Is this trip a good idea, especially after Biden has declared our support for Israel? No doubt he will be there, as Scholz has done, to ensure the safe passage of the civilians in Gaza who are about to be engulfed in a warzone. There will be discussions about humanitarian aid as well. We all know this—so why couldn’t this be handled over the phone?

Has Israel Hit ‘Pause’ on Ground Invasion, or Is It Planning ‘Something Different’ for Hamas?

/0 Comments/in , /by

In the blinding fog of war, ambiguity is often a calculated stance rather than mere indecision. This could be the case with Israel’s military strategy in its war against Hamas. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) last week indicated that it was prepared to up the ante by sending ground troops into the Gaza Strip, the territory Hamas controls.

The IDF had rallied a strong force around Gaza’s perimeter, but now, the impending incursion appears to have been paused, leaving the international community in a state of speculation.

Israel’s Defence Forces have spent the past week preparing for a massive operation to crush Hamas after some 360,000 reservists were called up to encircle Gaza with tanks, artillery and armoured vehicles.

But now the expected ground assault appears to be on hold, with IDF spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Richard Hecht refusing to confirm his troops will deploy into the Palestinian enclave.

‘We are preparing for the next stages of war. We haven’t said what they will be,’ Lt Col Hecht teased.

Joe Biden Visits Israel, but Continues to Remain Silent on the Iran Threat

/0 Comments/in , /by

Given the latest war developments, a hot question in Washington is whether President Biden should stick to his plan to visit Israel immediately.

Here’s a bigger, better question: What’s Biden’s plan for Iran?

. . .

All of which leads to a growing suspicion the president’s decision to travel halfway around the world has an ulterior motive.

The timing suggests it is designed primarily to stall and perhaps prevent Israel from launching its expected ground assault into Gaza.

The assumption is that Biden has failed to get Netanyahu’s agreement to hold off, and so is forcing the issue by showing up on the prime minister’s doorstep. (Read more from “Joe Biden Visits Israel, but Continues to Remain Silent on the Iran Threat” HERE)

White House Vows ‘Tough Questions’ for Netanyahu

/1 Comment/in , /by

John Kirby, the White House’s National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, told reporters aboard Air Force Once en route to Israel on Tuesday evening that President Joe Biden would have “tough questions” for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when they met Wednesday morning.

Biden’s trip was intended to show solidarity for Israel in its war against the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, which attacked Israel without provocation Oct. 7 and murdered 1,400 peoople.

But after Palestinians — and their allies — blamed Israel for an explosion at a hospital in Gaza City that reportedly killed hundreds of people, Biden appeared to be taking a different stance, promising that U.S. officials would investigate. Notably, Kirby refused to say that the U.S. gave Israeli officials the benefit of the doubt when they categorically denied that Israel had anything to do with the explosion. (Israel blamed the explosion on a misfired rocket, aimed at Israeli civilians, fired by the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.) Kirby also dodged questions about whether the White House believed Israel was living up to its promise to obey international law.

Later in the press briefing, Kirby explained that “tough questions” did not mean “menacing,” but that the U.S. would ask Israel about its next steps in the war. (Last week, Biden had said that Israel had not only a “right,” but also a “duty,” to fight Hamas.) (Read more from “White House Vows ‘Tough Questions’ for Netanyahu” HERE)

Hezbollah Calls for ‘Day of Unprecedented Anger’ at Israel, U.S.; U.S. Issues Lebanon Travel Advisory

/0 Comments/in , /by

Hezbollah, an Iranian-backed terrorist group that is based in Lebanon, called for a day of “unprecedented anger” directed at Israel after there was an explosion at a hospital in Gaza that killed hundreds of people.

Mainstream news organizations, left-wing politicians, and anti-Semites immediately latched onto and parroted claims by Palestinian officials claiming that Israel bombed the hospital, which resulted in the deaths of more than 500 people. However, Israel later confirmed that the explosion at the hospital was caused by a rocket that terrorists launched from inside Gaza that malfunctioned and hit the hospital.

Hezbollah joined the rest of the Islamic world in instantly blaming Israel for the attacks.

“Let tomorrow, Wednesday, be a day of unprecedented anger against the enemy and its crimes and against Biden’s visit to the Zionist entity to cover and protect this criminal entity,” the Islamic terrorist group said. “And let the message be clear that this is a day that comes after it on the path of resistance, victory, and retaliation for the oppressed from the oppressor.” (Read more from “Hezbollah Calls for ‘Day of Unprecedented Anger’ at Israel, U.S.; U.S. Issues Lebanon Travel Advisory” HERE)

‘Israel Will Be Gone Soon,’ Iranian Official Says

/0 Comments/in , , /by

Israel “will be gone soon and the Palestinian nation will be victorious in the final battle,” a senior Iranian official said on Monday amid fresh attempts by the Islamic Republic to rally militant forces across the region against the Jewish state.

Israel’s destruction is certain, Ali Akbar Velayati, a senior adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said in public remarks as he hosted Hamas representatives in Tehran. Velayati urged Hamas leaders to continue their assault on Israel nearly a week after the Iranian-backed group conducted an unprecedented slaughter of nearly 1,500 Israeli citizens, according to a report in Tehran’s state-controlled media.

Iran’s coordination with Hamas, highlighted in Monday’s meeting, comes amid parallel efforts by top Iranian officials to rally Arab countries in the region against Israel. Iranian foreign minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian held talks with Tunisia on Monday and said the Islamic “resistance is fully ready to respond to Zionists’ warmongering.”

Iran’s role in galvanizing Arab nations against Israel threatens to ignite a broader Middle East conflict, particularly along Israel’s northern border where Hezbollah forces backed by Tehran have been steadily increasing their strikes on Israeli territory. It also serves as a test for the Biden administration as it works to prevent the Hamas-Israel conflict from spreading into a wider war that could entangle American forces. U.S. officials are said to be “increasingly anxious” about a full blown attack on Israel by surrounding Arab countries. (Read more from “‘Israel Will Be Gone Soon,’ Iranian Official Says” HERE)

Watch What Happens to These Hamas Terrorists When the IDF Arrives

/0 Comments/in , , /by

The October 7 terror attacks in Israel were heinous. Hamas unleashed 1,000 terrorists to attack the Gaza border from land, sea, and air in a sophisticated attack made possible thanks to Iran’s training and equipment. The terrorist organization had detailed plans for the surrounding kibbutzim with one agenda: kill as many people as possible. Over 1,200 Israelis were killed. . .

One attack, reportedly around Sufa, captures the moment the IDF guns down a terrorist:
