Senior Israeli Official: Biden Should Topple Hamas, not Netanyahu
Breitbart ^ | March 12, 2024 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 03/13/2024 8:42:17 AM PDT by SunkenCiv

A senior Israeli official said Tuesday that President Joe Biden should focus on toppling the Hamas terrorist group, rather than trying to topple the democratically-elected government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli source was commenting in the wake of a report Monday that said U.S. intelligence agencies "expect" the Israeli prime minister's coalition government to collapse. The assessment, in the middle of a war, was the latest political attack by the Biden Administration against the Netanyahu government. Netanyahu pushed back, and told Fox News on Monday morning that "[t]o the extent that Hamas believes that there's daylight between us, that doesn't help,"

In a statement provided to Israeli media outlets, the source — said to be at the highest level — used sharper language.

The Times of Israel reported:
"Those who elect the prime minister of Israel are the citizens of Israel and no one else," says the official in a statement issued to the media, interpreting the intelligence report as an effort to unseat Netanyahu.

"Israel is not a protectorate of the US but rather an independent and democratic country whose citizens are the ones who elect the government. We expect our friends to work to bring down the terror regime of Hamas and not the elected government in Israel," the official says.
Biden has pushed for a Palestinian state, over Netanyahu's objections, and has claimed Netanyahu is "hurting" Israel more than he is helping it. Netanyahu has pointed to the fact that most Israelis (and Americans) support his positions.

There is growing concern among Israelis that Biden's insistence that Israel not attack Hamas in its last stronghold in the city of Rafah, near Gaza's border with Egypt, until civilians could be evacuated is giving Hamas time to regroup.

The fact that Biden is supporting Hamas at the peril of Israel tell me ALL I need to know about those people. (As if there was any doubt)

Indeed, Biden’s support, aid, and enabling of the Islamic terrorists and mass murder gangsters is disgusting — evil to the core. A real shock and embarrassment to America. He must be defeated in 2024!

There are Jews who hate Netanyahu and who don't have family in Israel, yes.

Biden supports abortion up to needing hospice care, but can rely on many Catholic voters as well, not least the ones who he's importing by the thousands every day.

It’s a matter of time. Israel has laid siege to Raffa. How long can Hamas last underground? I would bet that they are short on everything. Bibi has it right. Israel will persist until Hamas raises the right flag.

We need to put boots on the ground in Gaza to help wipe out Hamas, boots on the ground in Yemen to stop the Houthi, boots on the ground in Lebanon to wipe out Hezbollah, boots on the ground in Syria to depose the government, and boots on the ground in Iran to free the people from Islamic authoritarian theocracy.

I say this from the comfort of my recliner while sipping on coffee and nibbling on biscotti.

He likes Hamas. Israel and Bibi, not so much. Same as with Obama and the Clintons. I’m no fan of Bibi as a PM. He’d make a better ambassador to the UN. Good at making speeches. The 10/7 fiasco was inexcusable. He had plenty of warning.

As you like, but Bibi’s got at least as much trouble with Israeli cucks who undermine him to undermine Israel as Donald Trump had here.

Beijing Biden isn’t going to topple anything, he can hardly walk as it is.

Exactly the risk is that Biden topples.

If we listened to ‘Senior Official’ talk, we’d have pushed
Trump over a cliff by 2017.

Netanyahu has very little choice regarding his options
right now. He either goes after Hamas leadership, or his
nation will be subject to more attacks not less.

Sadly, people going after Israel right now display a
historical viewpoint that goes back to October 1st, 2023,
no further.

Israel’s attacks on Gaza, always follow attacks against
the people of Israel. It never comes out of the blue
without provocation.

Cucks will be cucks. His job performance is what it is, and my antipathy predates 10/7. I don’t know if this is google-able, but I sure remember Mitzpeh Avihai, a small hill-top settlement outside the Harsina section of Kiryat Arba, which he repeatedly unleashed the Civil Authority’s Magavniks to destroy, usually in the middle of the night. He says he’s on the side of the “settlers” of Judah and Samariah, and then sends in Druze on bulldozers to do the opposite.

Having some cucks who dislike him and call him an “extremist” doesn’t make him one or give him a “Kosher” shtempel. I know “extremism”. In many ways I am an “extremist,” and he’s not one of us.

Yep.

Obama-Biden imagine that getting rid of Bibi would bring Israel Leftists to power. Stupidity.

Obama-Biden stooges like Gantz, Yossi Cohen, Eizenkot, etc, aren’t going to succeed Bibi. Gidon Saar, Avigdor Liberman, and even Naftali Bennett have personal disputes with Bibi, but they’re going to be tougher on jihadis than Netanyahu, and they or someone like them will replace Bibi.
