Biden Threatens Israel - not Hamas
President Biden’s surprise announcement Israel has offered a three-part proposal to end the war in Gaza. It took Israeli officials by surprise, and Biden administration officials are threatening “consequences” should Israel not accept the agreement. (If this is Israel’s proposal why is the Biden administration pressing Israel to accept it? Is it another ‘friendly’ lie?)
Speaking from the White House, Biden said that the proposal comes after intensive diplomacy carried out by his team. Biden’s announcement is notable as he and his administration have battled opposition from the far-left wing of the Democratic Party, especially as the general election is in full swing. The US President’s announcement had collided with complex reality. (It is most likely election campaigning at Israel’s expense.)
The plan's first phase would start with six weeks of a full and complete cease-fire, including the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas of Gaza, and the release of women and children being held hostage. Biden said that, in that first phase, Israel and Hamas would negotiate a permanent cease-fire. The second stage would involve the release of all living hostages in exchange for Palestinians imprisoned in Israel. Biden admitted that there could be major hurdles. (Isn’t this a ‘wishful thinking’ with an anti-Israel twist?)
Hamas stated that it "views positively" the US President Joe Biden’s speech, but it would only deal with proposals if they were based on a permanent cease-fire and complete Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, among other stipulations.
Biden has grown increasingly frustrated with Netanyahu in recent months. In March, Biden warned Netanyahu against Israel launching a military assault in Rafah. And in early May, the US stopped a large shipment of offensive weapons to Israel. (True friend does not behave this way!)
The proposal does not require Hamas to be ousted from power in the Strip - which is one of Israel’s stated aims of the war. Israel describes a permanent cease-fire in Gaza as a 'nonstarter'. (This is a blatant act of political pressure and manipulation targeting Israel. Biden violated Israel’s trust.)
Biden's Plan is a Mockery of the Entire Situation
President Biden, joining pro-Hamas/Palestinian demonstrators, governments, politicians, and the mainstream news media are calling for a ceasefire to the Hamas-Israel war. Does anyone take this seriously? Where are the fervent demands for Hamas to “surrender?” They were the ones who launched a brutal attack on October 7, 2023. During that invasion, and up until today, they are violating nearly every international law and humanitarian convention.
Words like “ceasefire,” “permanent ceasefire,” and “comprehensive ceasefire” are being thrown around. According to the laws of war: Ceasefire: A ceasefire is an agreement to halt fighting, typically as a precursor to peace talks or negotiations. They do not necessarily imply that the conflict has ended. Ceasefires may be indefinite (i.e. permanent) or for a specified duration. They are to be considered broken or violated if one or more parties resume hostilities.
The Palestinian Authority Freed Terrorist
The terrorist who murdered two IDF soldiers, Staff Sergeant Eliya Hilel and Staff Sergeant Diego Shvisha Harsaj,
in a ramming attack in Shechem (Nablus) last week, was held by the Palestinian Authority, and released.
Both the PA and Hamas are terrorist organizations!
Food for Thought by Steven Shamrak
Anti-Semites of the world, be it the UNGA, the ‘Ugly Nazi’, or a President of the US, still feel that ‘They’ have the right to tell the Jewish state what to do. ‘They’ are somewhat silent about recent military coups and regimes in Africa. ‘They’ conveniently forgot about the ‘population transfer’ of Rohingya Muslims to Bangladesh by the Myanmar government. ‘They’ are quite mute about the human rights violations in Russia, China, and even some smaller countries. ‘They’ know that nobody would listen to them, and tell them where to go. The leadership of Israel and the Jewish people in general must learn how to tell international Jew-haters “F.U.” and “F.O.” nicely, to put the end to this continuous ugly Israel-bashing tradition! ‘They’ will never love Jews, but at least ‘They’ will learn to respect us!

The only Solution is Israel Sovereignty over Jewish Land
Former US Ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, said the US must help Israel apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria (and Gaza), as a viable alternative for a two-state solution. He emphasized that sovereignty should be applied not only over Area C but over the entire area. Regarding the "day after" the war in Gaza, the former Ambassador explained: There are hundreds and hundreds of terrorists floating around the Gaza Strip, there are four battalions in the south. There may come a point where the military strategy changes, but we're talking about a radicalized population that gets no help from anybody." He explains: "When Syria had a civil war, a million Syrian refugees were dispersed around Europe. They were given a place to stay. Egypt will not take a single Gazan refugee, Jordan will not take a single Gazan refugee, nobody wants them.
Fifty percent of Israeli Jews support Israel maintaining control of the Gaza Strip after the war against the Hamas terror group ends. Other half of Jewish respondents said Israel; 15% said they didn’t know; 10% said the Palestinian Authority, but without its president, Mahmoud Abbas; 8% said people who live in Gaza should decide; 7% answered “other”; 5% said the PA with Abbas; 4% said the United Nations; and 0% percent said Hamas. Support of Israel permanently controlling the Gaza Strip is more widespread among Israeli Jews than originally thought.
The United States on Tuesday again vetoed a draft United Nations Security Council resolution on the Israel-Hamas war, blocking a demand for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire as it instead pushes the 15-member body to call for a temporary ceasefire linked to the release of hostages held by Hamas. Thirteen council members voted in favour of the Algerian-drafted text, while Britain abstained. (International Jew-haters do not care about Jewish hostages, and are trying to protect Hamas terrorists.)
IDF Arms Jews in Judea and Samaria
As more regular troops are withdrawn from towns in Judea and Samaria, the IDF is issuing additional firearms to residents to maintain towns' security in Judea and Samaria. "Terror is raising its head and we will do everything to continue living in Judea and Samaria and everywhere in our country with security and peace," said MK Tzvi Succot.
The US 'Cares' about Post-War Plan for Gaza
Speaking at a press conference in Moldova, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken urged Israel to come up with a post-war plan for Gaza and warned that the absence of such a plan could trigger lawlessness, chaos and a comeback by Hamas. (After 20 years of war, did Biden have a post-war plan in Afghanistan, or exit plan? Hopefully, there will be no Hamas and no its supporters left after the war finishes in Gaza.)
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has offered praise to students who roiled US university campuses with anti-Israel protests. Ali Khamenei said the students have “now formed a branch of the Resistance Front,” referring to a loose alliance of Iran-backed terror groups and militias around the Middle East seeking to destroy Israel and kill American troops, including Lebanon’s Hezbollah, Yemen’s Houthis, Iraq’s Islamic Resistance, and the Hamas terror group that rules Gaza. (To understand what they are supporting, these Western students need to move to live in Iran, at least for a year.)
The Israel Land Authority (ILA) has informed UNRWA that it must vacate its Jerusalem premises in the Ma’alot Dafna neighbourhood within 30 days, following the approval of a demand from Housing Minister Yitzhak Goldknopf to evict the UN agency for Palestinian refugees from any state land it is currently occupying. The ILA wrote that the UNRWA owes it NIS 27,125,280 ($7,326,711.19) for operating on land belonging to Israel without consent for the last seven years. (Hundreds of employees of the UNRWA organization working in Gaza were exposed as Hamas terrorists. It’s time to say goodbye.)
Nazi Supporters Recognized Palestinian State
Spain, Norway and Ireland formally recognized a Palestinian state. Foreign Minister Israel Katz blasted the move as “being complicit in inciting genocide against Jews and war crimes.” (All three countries were supporters of the Nazi Germany during the WW2! Denmark decides not to recognize the ‘Palestinian State’.)
Israel is still Feeding the Enemies
Israel is continuing to issue work permits to Arabs from Palestinian Authority-assigned areas of Judea and Samaria despite its commitment to stop issuing permits after Hamas’ October 7 attack. Thousands of those Palestinian Arabs who received a permit are crossing the fence in violation of the law and without any inspection.
Quote of the Week:
“Israel’s conditions for ending the war have not changed: The destruction of the Hamas military and governing capabilities, the freeing of all hostages, and ensuring that Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel,” - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
by Steve Apfel
When the ICJ forbade Israel, in so many words, to eliminate Hamas brigades holed up in Rafah, saying that it “May inflict on the Palestinian group in Gaza the conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.” Note well: the Palestinian “group” not civilians.
Imagine: the ICJ forbids Ukraine to strike targets in the Crimean Peninsula in case it may inflict on the Russian group conditions of life that could bring about its physical destruction.
As an overt act of lawfare on Israel the court’s decision came hard on the heels of another such act the week prior when it was the turn of the ICC to enter the battle. The Chief Prosecutor decided to apply for warrants of arrest for Prime Minister Netanyahu and Defence Minister Gallant on the draconian charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity.
Other UN brigades had already softened up Israel with barrage after barrage from the World Food Program, the World Health Organisation, and UNGA. These warning shots came in the form of hysterics that famine would eviscerate Gaza. Yet another ‘humanitarian’ brigade, UNWRA, let rip that “Across Gaza a man-made famine is tightening its grip, infants and young children have begun to die of malnutrition and dehydration.” (Meanwhile there is so much food that low prices have made continued stealing of the aid by Hamas unprofitable.)
What we see is a coordinated pincer movement by an international enemy sick with anguish to save Hamas from defeat by the juggernaut Jews.
The UNWRA has weaponized Palestinian Arab suffering in Gaza. Put another way, the suffering acts the part of a lightning rod, striking down Israel with every crime against humans in the book, and some that are not. Is it anti-Israel bias and malice? No question - Antisemitic!
