Following the slaughter of hundreds of innocent Israelis at the hands of Hamas terrorists this past weekend, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken called for a cease-fire to hostilities as the world’s lone Jewish state began launching its counterattack.
In a post published on Sunday evening, Blinken informed his X (formerly Twitter) followers that he spoke with the foreign minister of Turkey regarding Hamas’ onslaught against Israel. In the post, the U.S.’ leading diplomat stated that he encouraged Turkey to advocate for “a cease-fire,” as well as “the release of all hostages held” by Hamas — an Iranian-backed terrorist organization — “immediately.”
The now-unavailable post was shared “just as Israel began responding” to Hamas’ Saturday attacks, according to the New York Post.
Blinken’s tweet was not the first instance in which the Biden administration openly pressured Israeli leadership to avoid militarily responding to what has arguably been the worst terrorist attack in their nation’s history. Hours after Hamas started slaughtering innocent Israeli civilians, the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs tweeted, “We urge all sides [emphasis added] to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
When pressed by The Washington Free Beacon on the office’s deletion of the tweet, the State Department claimed in a statement that the post “was not approved and does not represent U.S. policy.” It’s worth highlighting that Blinken’s tweet encouraging Turkey to advocate for a cease-fire was published a day after the Free Beacon published the State Department’s claim.
The Biden administration’s demand that Israel — which radical Islamists have been attempting to annihilate since its founding — lay down its arms and negotiate with terrorists is stunning when considering that these same officials have openly encouraged the exact opposite policy when it comes to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Israel doesn’t have the same return on investment for the Biden/DC players as Ukraine offers.
Because Ukraine is hiding Biden/globalist corruption
They aren’t laundering money thru Israel?
Because Ukrania is the laundromat
Next question
The commies in this country don’t want their precious Hamas animals harmed.
Because the Antichrist is the one that will negotiate the cease fire. He will forge a one world government for the promise of peace. It has to get much much worse first.
Not to say I told you so but an earlier post I made after the thread:

When Hamas launched a brutal assault on Israel overnight, the Biden administration’s Office of Palestinian Affairs initially called on Israel “to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks,” before deleting the post.

I said “I’m sure he said the same thing to Ukraine. Or maybe not.”
How is it okay for Ukraine to fight and not Israel?
How do you know? Because the Muscovite propagandists posting on FR tell you so?
Remember that Hunter Biden's sins were committed with the Yanukovich regime, not Zelensky's.
Start thinking for yourself. It's refreshing.
I doubt that they are. Entirely different situation.
Because it is true.
Probably because Israel (and the Mossad) aren’t kicking back 10% for the BigPedoGuy and his LittlePedoSon, and Ukraine is still laundering all that US Citizen tax-payer money.
Just like clockwork, hamas leadership is calling on the UN

Israel should tell Biden that they will cease firing when they win.
