Within days of the Hamas slaughter of Israeli innocents, President Biden issued a veiled warning to Iran and any others who smelled a chance to pile on.
As the president put it in a White House appearance Oct. 10, “To anyone thinking of taking advantage of the situation, I have one word: Don’t.”
It wasn’t exactly a Clint Eastwood “Make my day” moment, but the point was clear enough.
The United States has Israel’s back, so the axis of evil forces better stay on the sidelines.
The point was underscored when Biden ordered an aircraft carrier strike group to the eastern Mediterranean and soon followed by sending a second strike group to prove his seriousness.
Unfortunately, a mere three weeks later, the president’s red line is in flux and in danger of being erased.
Biden has done little to counter about 20 Iranian proxy attacks on American military bases in Syria and Iraq, which left a score of our service members with brain injuries.
Equally troubling, White House support for Israel’s response in Gaza is showing cracks.
There are daily lectures from administration officials about the need for Israel to protect Arab civilians and aides let it be known that Biden warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about concerns in a phone call. Playing Israeli politics
The shifts in tone suggest the president, already unpopular as he runs for re-election and under fire from anti-Israel forces in his party and the Democrats’ media outlets, is looking for a political off-ramp.
Depending on the level of his desperation and poll numbers, he could be close to demanding a cease-fire.
To which I would make a familiar, one-word appeal: Don’t.

Too late.
PA is Palestinian Authority. This would mean a hug victory by the terrorists.
The Times Of Israel has this story:
Blinken to visit Israel on Friday, says ‘revitalized’ PA should govern Gaza after war
Stance by secretary of state marks first time idea publicly uttered by Biden administration, which has been floating it privately with regional partners since October 7.
A HUGE victory, not a hug victory. Sorry.
Moisser Blinken. Ymach sh’mo!
To FRiends who are unfamiliar:
Yimakh shemo (Hebrew: יִמַּח שְׁמוֹ, romanized: yīmmaḥ šəmō, lit. ‘may his name be erased’) is a Hebrew curse placed after the name of particular enemies of the Jewish people.
It’s not a compliment.
A little like “May all his teeth fall out except one.”
NO!
Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen, the chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) since 2004.
The new Yasser Arafat.
Terrorist Leader who runs Palestinian “West Bank” which is actually Judea and Samaria Area.
Part of Israel for thousands of years.
Jews land occupied by Palestinians.
Yes.
For anyone like Blinken to be so naive and ignorant of history to be taken in by the terrorist lies is dangerous.
There has to be a secure homeland for Jews in Israel.
As for the location of alleged “Palestinians”, well that’s up to the ham decency and charity of the wealthy Arab states all around the region. Billions of dollars in oil money should finance a lot of housing and benefits for the downtrodden “refugees” (since 1948) who are disadvantaged by being unwelcome in Israel after murdering, raping and taking Israelis hostage in an unprovoked attack.

up to the human decency
The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.And people don’t even think that’s bad anymore that the Hamas charter has it in there. Not that there was ever any real difference between Hamas and Fatah, of course.
Yes, none of their OWN PEOPLE want them around.
A lot of them however, seem to be in the USA and other countries.
Hundreds of thousands of them are marching in SUPPORT of Hamas and other murderers.
The Spirit of antichrist is in every corner of the world infesting these people.
Jesus, please come and clean up this mess! AMEN!

“I have one word: Don’t”
Don’t—a contraction for two words...
except for little kids, no on is afraid of Joe Biden....
Israel has already lost this politically. The world is turning rapidly against them, and typically dragging the United States along with them. Turning Gaza into a walled ghetto, and then bombing everything indiscriminately causing thousands of civilian casualties is a bad look indeed. Yesterdays IDF spox who said they killed a Hamas commander along with hundreds of civilians was worth it is as grotesque as it gets. Whatever Israel thinks it’s accomplishing, the images out of Gaza will haunt them politically for decades. I’m not saying they should do nothing, but honestly a rational strategic response would have been better than the equivalent to acting with the emotion of a 13 year old girl.
Apologies to 13 year old girls.
IT AINT JOE. It is the dancing puppet of Obama.
