Biden seeks to avoid wider war after Iran strike on Israel
The Hill ^ | 04/14/2024 | Rema Rahman

Posted on 04/14/2024 2:00:36 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

President Biden is hoping to avoid an all-out eruption in the Middle East after Iran sent hundreds of missiles and drones, nearly all of them intercepted, toward Israel in retaliation for an attack on an Iranian facility in Damascus that took out a top general.

Biden now has to convince Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other allies not to escalate tensions in the region that have become beyond frayed since the start of the war in Gaza in October. Biden reportedly told Israel’s leader that the U.S. would not participate in any offensive operations against Iran going forward.

Lets see - JOE BIDEN...
Opened the door to $Billions to Iran last year... no strings attached... funding the last 5 ½ months of Hamas and Hezbollah terrorist attacks against Israel...

Through his utter lack of leadership and functional brain cells - he helped ENCOURAGE this behavior (never mind he dropped the sanctions that were suppose to help restrain Iran). He encouraged Israel in their battle against Hamas... until political winds from idiot pro-Palestinian terrorists began yelling.. so he has been hounding Netanyahu to stop in Gaza... leaving active Hamas terrorists to reboot and continue their terrorism...

Now - after Israel has over 300 kamikaze drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles fired at it by Iran - Biden yanks Israel’s choke collar and tells them “no”...

With “friends” like Quid Pro Quo Biden - who needs enemies?

Never mind Biden encouraged Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022...

Hundreds of missiles and drones? We’ve already had our ‘all-out eruption’.

What a joke! Biden CAUSED the war by lifting the Trump sanctions on the Islamo-Nazi regime in Iran.

If he really wanted to “avoid wider war,” he would return to the sanctions in place on January 19, 2020.

I did not like fighting when I was a kid and thus was picked on a lot. I finally lost my temper and took the kid down and was trying to choke him to death. Fortunately others pulled me off of him. The bullying stopped that day.

Iran is just like that 7th grade bully. Kick its ass and the bullying will stop.

Biden is a facilitator of Iran’s violence.

Now - after Israel has over 300 kamikaze drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles fired at it by Iran - Biden yanks Israel’s choke collar and tells them “no”...

From The American Conservative: Benjamin Netanyahu Is Trying to Drag the U.S. Into War With Iran .

From this an excerpt, it doesn't sound like Biden is "yanking Israel's choke collar."

Biden has approved more than 100 arms sales to the Israeli regime since October 7th, including, according to a report in the Times of Israel, “thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs and other weapons.”

Last month, the administration shipped over 1,800 2,000-pound MK84 bombs and 500 500-pound MK82 bombs to the Israelis. The former have, according to a Washington Post report, “been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.”

To give a sense of proportionality, consider that the US dropped a total of one 2,000 pound bomb during its campaign against ISIS. Israel has dropped hundreds on Gaza. Meanwhile, Biden is currently lobbying Congress for an $18 billion arms transfer that would send dozens of F-15 fighter jets to Israel.

Yeah - I just don’t seek “American Conservative” as anything remotely what its name implies - it has little credibility. Israel is doing far less than what the US has done in their own retaliatory strikes against hard-core islamic terrorists... Of which Gaza/Hamas is a hotbed (of Iranian terrorism).

Jugears is just a puppet, himself.

He's too stupid and lazy to mastermind a golf outing.

June Cleaver: So, Israel, in the schoolyard the boys surrounded you, tripped you, beat you, kicked you, threw dirt in your face and stripped you to your boxer shorts and laughed at you. That doesn’t mean you have to go down to their level by fighting back. Just ignore them now.

Ward: I don’t think you always have to follow your mother’s advice. Sometimes you have to stand up to bullies. I’m going to show you some fighting techniques I learned in the war. Let me get an ice pick, an automatic switchblade knife, a plastic bag, a garrote and some sulfuric acid.

June: Oh, Ward.

So Joe, did they remit the 10% Big Guy rebate, or was this another one of those Nigerian scams?

Biden doesn’t want Israel to respond. Why?

It looks to me Biden wants everyone to wait until Iran has nuclear weapons; just to make it fair.

Netenyahu needs to send Zelenskyy to DC to ask for money and weapons.

In the broader sense, when Israel responds, they will more than likely, attack Iran’s oil refiner’s. This will cause gas prices to sky rocket the lies of which have never been seen before.

NOT because we get oil from Iran, but because of Biden’s executive orders tamping down on OUR ability to extract our OWN petroleum.

This will cause Israel to become a pariah among the nations.

I suspect that this is Biden’s intent.

Remember, if you hate Israel, GOD hates you.

Keep you tank full...
