A sight I found fairly terrifying in a meeting room filled with American citizens who are "useful idiots"!

 The Tunnel Wall blog: The radiant young Americans and their pleasant teacher enjoy each other as he teaches them Muslim chants of "death to America!", and 'death to Israel'. Which is more frightening: that smiling teacher or the young sheep with their raised fists and words implanted in their fertile minds, coming out of their ignorant mouths? It is awful to see so much murderous ignorance in American young people who might be our neighbors. Or family members!

For that matter, can you picture this man now teaching Arabic chants to American children placing an infant into an oven to cook to death; beheading a young person with blows from a hoe or shovel; raping a lady while her family watches at gunpoint. Can you see this pleasant man raping a woman from behind while another grabs her hair and bends her over a truck bed? Would he shoot her in the head while in the act of penetrating her? 

All these have been witnessed by some who have escaped alive from the young men of Hamas who recorded their deeds while doing them with glee. Those video scenes were played for the people of Gaza City who cheered each act that they found to their liking.

American youth, do you not realize that the friendly instructor in front of you wants Israeli people dead? Picture him and his fellow kaffiyeh-wearing people in the villages of southern Israel, encouraging you to be capable of accomplishing what you see in this link:

Who could expect Israel to be angry over their families; their women being burned to death and having body parts, including breasts amputated during rape? How could they mind Palestinians being gleeful while breaking the bones of captured Israelis?

Was cooking infants in ovens a problem for them? 

Gazans raped Israeli women, then shot them in the head during the act of rape; how would we have thought that was a problem for Jews?


Horrific new stories of Hamas attacks in Israel surface, including rape of woman who screamed to be killed (nypost.com)   "A “beautiful woman with the face of an angel’’ was raped by eight to 10 Hamas terrorists in Israel on Oct. 7, while another tragic victim was beheaded with a shovel while trying to defend herself, a stricken survivor says.

Yoni Saadon, a 39-year-old father of four, told the UK’s Sunday Times that he is still haunted by the horrific scenes he witnessed at the Nova Music festival, when the Hamas fiends slaughtered at least 364 festival-goers, including the gang-raped woman, who begged to be killed.

“I saw this beautiful woman with the face of an angel and eight or 10 of the fighters beating and raping her,” recalled Saadon, a foundry shift manager. “She was screaming, ‘Stop it already! I’m going to die anyway from what you are doing, just kill me!’

“ 'When they finished, they were laughing, and the last one shot her in the head,” he said." . . .

If you say, "I am Hamas!", then stand by your actions in these villages!  Hamas terrorists had 'a thing with sexual organs' and targeted genitalia of Israeli victims: UN testimony (nypost.com)   . . ."I remember how [one attacker] shifted her position, then passed her on to another person,” she recalled in the video testimony.

“She was alive. … She was standing. … She was bleeding from her back. … She had a long hair, and he was pulling it. … She wasn’t dressed. … He cut her breast. He threw it on the road, and they played with it,” the woman recounted in the gruesome testimony." . . .

UPDATE: HAMAS MASSACRE (saturday-october-seven.com)  The work of Hamas is so revolting they had to blur out the photos of what they did to publish them.  But since you Keffiyeh-Klad Kollegians are so proud of your latest passion it seemed necessary to display your work. You chant "We are Hamas"? Which Hamas are you; the one who shattered a woman's pelvis by your violent rape? The one who beheaded an infant in its crib? He who made an Israeli family watch you kill their parents? How about one of those who took four Israeli women to an intersection, shot them, then left their bodies in the road?

The Lawfare Racket Against Trump -

 The American Spectator | USA News and Politics

What the Democrats are doing to him is beyond anything that exists in American law.

"Has Trump redeemed himself? I don’t know. But I do know he never did and never would get involved with any woman other than his wife while in office. I trust him there. John F. Kennedy was not that pristine while in office, though the media covered for him. LBJ walked around on airplanes with his private male organ exposed, for the media to see . . ." 

"I attended UCLA School of Law from August 1990 to May 1993. I was chief articles editor of the UCLA Law Review and then moved on to clerk for a brilliant (I add: most brilliant) federal appeals court judge, the Hon. Danny J. Boggs of the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit. I then practiced complex civil litigation for more than a decade at three of America’s most prominent powerhouse law firms, moving over to teaching law school for nearly 20 years. Yes, I am a rabbi of 40-plus years who knows Judaic law and the Bible pretty respectably by now, but I also know American law every bit as well as the pundits you see on TV. And those pundits don’t make puns.

"What the Democrats and their media co-conspirators are doing to former and future President Donald Trump is beyond anything that exists in American law, and they are destroying our country. You see, here is how it works:

"Nixon screwed up but did not deserve to be thrown out of office. It was not he who cooked up the bungled Watergate break-in. He probably fumed when he learned about it. He was leading in the polls at the time by 2 million points, give or take Massachusetts, and he did not need to do anything because George McGovern was campaigning for him. No one wanted McGovern. No one. Then Nixon learned that his backers broke into the Watergate Hotel, yada-yada-yada. What should he have done?

"The leftist media know he should have called 9-1-1 and turned them in. But that is not realistic. What kind of jerk learns that his closest friends, on their own, tried to “do him a solid” but messed up, so he then snitches on them to the fuzz? No one does that. You cannot do that. You can call out others for failing to do that, but you never would do that yourself. If there had been a Fox News at the time, for all their flaws, Nixon’s side would have gotten a nightly airing, and he would have gotten censured but not impeached. But the Democrats smelled blood.

"That day was the day that the impeachment of Bill Clinton began. No one had ever heard of him, but that didn’t matter. Sooner or later, the Republicans were going to retaliatorily impeach a Democrat. Then the Dems impeached Trump, and then the GOP impeached Alejandro Mayorkas. It never mattered whether there were enough votes in the Senate to convict Clinton, Trump, or Mayorkas. Once it started with Nixon, it had to be avenged, and then more retaliation, and then more. Nixon never should have faced impeachment. Clinton dishonored himself and deserved to be sued in civil court serially by the women he abused, but you don’t impeach a president because he lies to a lawyer in a deposition over whether he “had sex” with a female while he falsely swears to his wife at home each night that he never touched her. It is what it is. Trump’s phone call to Volodymyr Zelensky was perfectly reasonable. Of all the politicized impeachments, the only one that is legit is the present one to throw out Mayorkas. And the Democrats dismissed it before it could begin.

"Let the word go forth from this time and place (my column at The American Spectator) that the Trump lawfare obscenities will unleash lawfare against the Bidens after January 2025 or whenever his time ends. If Joe is reelected and dies in office, they still will go after Hunter and all the other Bidens. Then the Democrats will go after the next Republican president like Ron DeSantis or whoever, and then the GOP will imprison the next Democrat after. Welcome to the Banana Republic. Make sure not to slip on the peels in Aisle 8 while the criminal attorneys file slips on appeal in Courtroom 8." . . .

Are Iran's Nine Lives Nearing an End? Victor Davis Hanson

 Victor Davis Hanson (townhall.com)  

"Before the Biden appeasement of Iran, the Trump administration had isolated and nearly bankrupted Tehran and its proxies. Its Revolutionary Guard terrorist planners proved to be easy targets once they operated outside Iran."

"The theocracy of Iran has been the world's arch-embassy attacker over the last half-century.

"So it has zero credibility in crying foul over Israel's April 1 attacks on its "consulate" in Damascus and the killing of Iran's kingpin terrorists of the Revolutionary Guard Corps there.

"Remember, the world was first introduced to the Iranian ayatollahs by their violent takeover of the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1980.

"Iranian surrogates next bombed the American embassy in Beirut and the Marine barracks in 1983.

"In fact, Iran has attacked U.S. and Israeli diplomatic posts off and on for decades, most recently in 2023, when Iran helped plan an attack on the U.S. embassy in Baghdad.

"For this reason and several others, Iran's justification for sending 170 drones, 30 cruise missiles, and 120 ballistic missiles into Israel because Israel had bombed an Iranian diplomatic post is completely ridiculous.

"One, Iran has never honored diplomatic immunity. Instead, it habitually attacks and kills embassy personnel and blows up diplomatic facilities across the world.

"Two, on April 1, the Israelis attacked a pseudo-"consulate" in Damascus which was hosting grandees of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps as they planned terrorist attacks on Israel.

"Without Iran, the Middle East might have had a chance to use its enormous oil and natural gas wealth to lift its 500 million people out of poverty rather than to be mired in constant tribal and religious anti-Israeli, anti-American, and anti-Western terrorism.

"During the Iraq War, Iran's Shiite terrorists and its massive supplies of deadly shaped-charge explosive devices killed hundreds of Americans. It routinely hijacks container ships in the Straits of Hormuz and stages near collisions with American ships and planes." . . .

The World Is Paying a Deadly Price for Barack Obama's Foreign Policy Legacy  . . ."The Trump administration undercut Palestinian terror efforts, stifled Iranian ambitions, and created space for the Gulf states and Israel to enhance ties.

"Biden immediately reversed those gains, reverting to Obama-era Iranian boosterism. We're now experiencing the consequences of pacifying Islamic ideologues. Obama might have sent the mullahs pallets of cash in the middle of the night, but the Biden administration openly subsidized the Revolutionary Guard with a $6 billion ransom payment, at least $25 billion in sanction relief, including $10 billion via a waiver, and so on."  . . ."Every conflict against Israel unfurls the same way: Its enemies threaten or attack the country. Israel responds and heads for a victory. Only then does the world demand "restraint." Finally, the antagonists demand Israel rewind history to a more convenient spot. (Modern Democrats demand that Israel show restraint before it even has a chance to respond. That's a new twist.)" . . .

Trump v. Biden; will they debate?


Democrats Aren't Protecting Biden by Not Allowing Him to Debate Trump, They're Protecting Something Else – RedState    "We're not going to get a debate between Donald Trump and President Joe Biden. If I'm being honest, I'm not sure how badly I want to spend 90 minutes of my life watching a man who can't string words together without mumbling or trailing off attempt to debate a man who can talk for hours."

Ask them at the bodega: The Difference Between Trump's Bodega Visit and Biden's Gas Station 'Photo-Op' Is Truly Remarkable (townhall.com)

Common Sense Custodian commented courteously:

It’s amazing, Donald Trump shows up at a bodega and people of all walks of life all races all ages all genders cheer him! Biden tries to do the same gets ignored or gets booed. I honestly think we could be looking at a landslide like we haven’t seen since Ronald Reagan .

 Should Biden and Trump debate? Political strategists weigh in on risks for candidates; The Charlotte Observer    “ 'If there is one thing Americans can agree on during this polarized time, it is that the stakes of this election are exceptionally high,” a dozen outlets, including CNN and Fox News, wrote in a joint statement released on April 14.

“ 'Amidst that backdrop, there is simply no substitute for the candidates debating with each other, and before the American people, their visions for the future of our nation,” the statement added.

"Still, with eight months to go until the election, Biden’s campaign has yet to commit to any televised debates.

"When mulling over whether to participate, there are several risks for the Biden campaign to consider, political strategists told McClatchy News. There are others for the Trump campaign to contemplate as well."   Full article here...

Sounds great, but remember the landslide predicted in the last election. TD 

'They wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky':

 Outraged Papua New Guinea academics lash out at Biden's 'unacceptable' suggestion that cannibals ate his WW2 pilot uncle | Daily Mail Online

Toon added by TD

"Outraged Papua New Guinea academics have slammed President Joe Biden for his 'unacceptable' suggestion that his uncle was eaten by cannibals in the country after his plane was shot down during World War II.

"Biden implied on two occasions Wednesday that his maternal uncle 2nd Lieutenant Ambrose J. Finnegan had met a grisly end at the hands of cannibals after his plane was shot down by the enemy over New Guinea in 1944. 

"But the White House and official defense records confirmed that Finnegan died when the military plane he was in experienced engine failure and crashed into the Pacific Ocean, not over land.

"Historically, cannibalism has been reported Papua New Guinea, the Pacific nation that occupies the eastern half of the island of New Guinea, but local academics say Biden's categorization of the act is 'very offensive'.

"Michael Kabuni, a political science lecturer at the University of Papua New Guinea, told The Guardian cannibalism was previously practiced by some communities in very specific contexts and that locals 'wouldn't just eat any white men that fell from the sky'.

"Other analysts branded Biden's claims as 'unsubstantiated and poorly judged', especially during a time in which the US has been trying to strengthen its ties with Papua New Guinea." . . . 

The NY Trump trial; the ball begins.

The trouble with Trump’s jurors shows the results of a post-truth society - Andrea Widburg    . . ." I’m also not talking about the judge having a daughter who is a highly-placed anti-Trump activist raising money off the trial. Instead, this post focuses on one specific thing: The fact that it is impossible for Trump to have a fair jury in this corrupt trial.

"The lack of fairness begins with the fact that Trump is the most famous man in the world, and he is running for president. There is literally no one on earth, unless they have the awareness of a potato, who doesn’t have an opinion on the case, and who doesn't understand that its outcome will affect the election.

"There’s another fascinating and mostly unspoken lack of fairness here: The judge did something very unusual, which was to make Wednesday the day off from the trial rather than Friday. By doing so, he effectively barred from the courtroom the single most pro-Trump demographic in New York; namely, Orthodox Jews:

Orthodox Jews to be exclused from Bragg's jury pool. The NYC demographic group most strongly supportive of Trump is the orthodox Jewish community. So, no surprise that the very biased judge in Bragg's case scheduled the trial to include Fridays instead of Wednesdays. Very unusual, but understandable since this switch will necessarily exclude all orthodox Jews from the jury pool.

Meanwhile down in Georgia... Yes, Ms. Willis, You Are On Trial – In The Court Of Public Opinion – Issues & Insights   . . ."But you are also deservedly on trial in the court of public opinion based on an even bigger abuse than hiring your boyfriend: your outlandish, outrageous, and out-of-bounds misapplication of an anti-racketeering statute to target a former president for exercising his First Amendment rights to question a highly questionable election result.

"Along with 18 co-defendants, one of whom heroically put his life on the line in deploying the federal version of the same statute as intended, against five New York City mob families – a defining moment in a career as distinguished as yours is apparently now extinguished.

"How abusive is your unprecedented RICO indictment, which sweeps in non-criminal actions outside the state of Georgia, much less Fulton County? Convictions would reportedly result in mandatory five-year sentences with no possibility of pardon or parole under Georgia law.

"Moreover, Madame District Attorney, you’re not the only one on trial in this respect. The last few weeks’ news underscores how an entire cohort of Trump tormentors is deservedly in the people’s dock.

Trump's hush money trial now has its 12 jurors | AP News  "The first-ever trial of a former American president is unfolding in New York during this year’s race for the White House, meaning the presumptive Republican nominee will spend his days in court confronted by salacious and unflattering testimony about his personal life while simultaneously campaigning to reclaim the office he held for four years.

" 'He’s made clear his determination to use his legal jeopardy, already a central issue in the race against Democratic incumbent Joe Biden, to his advantage. After a full day of jury selection, he complained to reporters that he should have been out campaigning but was in court instead for what he said was a “very unfair trial.”

“ 'Everybody’s outraged by it,” he said. “You know the whole world’s watching this New York scam.” . . . 

"The trial centers on a $130,000 payment that Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and personal fixer, made to porn actor Stormy Daniels to prevent her claims of a sexual encounter with Trump from becoming public in the final days of the 2016 race.

 New Video Shows Israeli Hostage Yarden Bibas Being Brutally Beaten by Gazan “Civilians” on October 7 (legalinsurrection.com)   "A newly surfaced video shows missing Israeli hostage Yarden Bibas being brutally beaten by a crowd of Hamas supporters and driven into Gaza on a motorbike on October 7.

"The 40-second footage shows a frenzied mob beating and punching Yarden. The blood-soaked 34-year-old man, who’s wife and two kids were also taken captives by Hamas, is seen paraded though the triumphant crowd of Gazans as they appear to shout ‘Allahu Akbar’.

"Yarden is father of the youngest Israeli hostage in Hamas captivity. He was separated from his 32-year-old wife Shiri, and two young sons; 11-months-old Kfir, and 4-year-old Ariel. The family of four was abducted by Hamas terrorists from Kibbutz Nir Oz, when they stormed their tiny community in southern Israel."

. . ." Despite conflicting claims made by Hamas about their well-being, relatives are still hoping for their return. In recent month, Hamas has been refusing to handover the names of the living hostages in its custody, suggesting that most of them may have been murdered by the Gaza-based terrorists.

"The Israeli news website YNET reported Wednesday:

In the harrowing footage, he’s seen surrounded by terrorists beating and shouting at him, being led by another armed terrorist riding a motorcycle. At one point, the video cuts off – and then starts again, with Bibas’s head and face covered in blood.

President Issac Herzog shared the disturbing video on his X account. “The world must not remain silent in the face of such crimes,” he wrote.

In February, the IDF made public a security video in which Shiri Bibas and her two young children, Ariel and Kfir, are seen, apparently in southern Gaza, on the day of their abduction, on October 7. In the video, the three are seen alive, but it is unclear what their condition is now, 194 days after their abduction." . . .  

"Hamas claimed at the end of November that Shiri and her two children were no longer alive. The terror organization didn’t provide any evidence to back their claim, leading Israel to reject them. Later, Hamas even released a video of Yarden from captivity, allegedly after being informed of their death. (…)"The video not only reveals the widespread complicity of Palestinians in the October 7 massacre, it also exposes how deeply the so-called Gaza journalists were embedded in the Hamas-led terrorist operation. Some of these ‘journalists’ and ‘photographers,’ who drove in with Hamas on October 7, were awarded international prizes for their coverage." . . .

Meltdown Joe begs you to love the US military

Useful Idiots*

A screaming MSNBC tirade for anyone not happy with the military industrial complex 

“AMERICA IS STRONGER AND MORE POWERFUL THAN EVER BEFORE!” yells Morning Joe at an uncomfortable panel of MSNBC pundits. He is LIVID with Fox News for their Hate America First propaganda, when they should be celebrating HOW STRONG WE ARE!

(If that seems like an exaggeratory amount of caps lock, wait until you hear how loud Joe’s pro-military sermon is.)

"But while Joe Scarborough is fuming at Fox News for their fake reasons to be angry at America, what all of these corporate pundits are missing is that America really does have problems. As we’re bombing the rest of the world, breaking up peace talks, and blocking ceasefires with our impressive military, US citizens are suffering the highest rates of poverty we’ve ever seen – homelessness and suicide rates are up, healthcare is increasingly unaffordable, and more than half the country can’t afford to pay their rent.

"So as Morning Meltdown Joe berates his audience with why America is the greatest it’s ever been, we take a look at what is actually going on under the watch of our powerful country.

"In the House, an overwhelming majority of representatives just voted to ban the slogan “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,” because apparently equality for oppressed people is antisemitic. In the Senate, Chuck Schumer accidentally admits that the US’s proxy war in Ukraine was a complete failure and caused the deaths of huge numbers of Ukrainians, all while arguing we need to fund the war even more.

"Congressmembers Raskin and Gottheimer are each finding ways to blame Russia for anything wrong in the US (and yes, using that to argue for more weapons money), and a CNN host attacks Cornel West with pre-written questions from the IDF." . . .

*Useful idiot - Wikipedia  "useful idiot or useful fool is a person perceived as propagandizing for a cause without fully comprehending the cause's goals, and who is cynically being used by the cause's leaders.[1][2] The term was often used during the Cold War to describe non-communists regarded as susceptible to communist propaganda and psychological manipulation.[1] A number of authors attribute this phrase to Vladimir Lenin, but this attribution is not supported by any evidence.

'Death To America' seems to have a nice ring for Democrats

 

From the parodigal son: Biden Unveils Official Campaign Slogan 'Death To America' | Babylon Bee  . . ."According to sources within the campaign, Biden began considering the slogan after hearing his supporters organically chanting "Death To America" at his speeches. "Nothing fires up a Biden crowd like calling for the violent destruction of the United States," said campaign manager Steve Roscoe. "It's like how whenever Trump needed to juice the crowd in 2016, he would start saying 'Build The Wall'. For Biden, it's 'Death To America'. That really sends the crowd into a frenzy."

"After weeks of considering alternatives such as "Allahu Akbar" and "From The River To The Sea", Biden chose "Death To America" for its inclusive messaging. "It's a big-tent slogan that encapsulates the heart of the Democratic Party," explained Roscoe. "Maybe you want to bankrupt America through entitlements - death to America! Maybe you want to murder the next generation in the womb - death to America! Maybe you want to brainwash children into a suicide cult that amputates healthy organs - death to America! Maybe you're an Islamist terrorist that want to literally bring about the deaths of Americans - death to America! Everyone who wishes the destruction of this country is welcome in the Democratic Party."

Oops! Zhe Did it Again: Trans Wacko Planned Another School Shooting

Kevin Downey Jr – PJ Media


. . ." So Ye couldn't be bothered to buy a mask and spend some time building a bomb to slaughter kids. Thank God.

"As expected, Ye is a self-centered maniac who feels "victimized" and believes killing small kids it acceptable.

"More from Ye:

I have also considered shooting up my former elementary school because little kids make easier targets. And, I run the risk of getting attacked or tackled midway through with high schoolers. I also hated elementary school. The teachers were evil and the other students were little assholes. I always got in trouble and had to sit out during recess. The other kids would pretend to be my friends but make fun of me to my face. It would be the perfect revenge.

 "For those of you who read my articles, you will understand that I am a former liberal, but I can not, and would never, condone these beliefs.

"Ye's victimy BS is a joke. The left sells victimhood, even to the privileged, and I find it nauseating.

"Like most trans folks, Ye just wants attention:

High school's the best target. I'm the most familiar with the layout, I know where the doors with windows are, and it's the most convenient to enter. Truthfully, I would rather become a serial killer than a mass shooter. Serial killers are romanticized a lot more.
They get tons of love letters and Netflix documentaries about them. Mass shooters are brushed off unless they are truly unique or good-looking.

Biden's Secretary of Education Expresses Desire to Shut Down Grand Canyon University

  Nicholas Dolinger (resistthemainstream.com)

"Rather, it’s part of a concerted effort to snuff out education choice and promote far-left values. It’s critical that Americans be aware of this shameful campaign and that we do all we can to put a stop to it.' ”


"A Biden administration cabinet official has declared his intention to shut down the largest Christian university in the United States, claiming that the institution of higher learning was preying on students for profit.

"During a House Appropriations Committee hearing, Education Secretary Miguel Cardona declared a decisive action against Grand Canyon University (GCU), stating the administration’s commitment to shutting down the institution.

“We are cracking down not only to shut them down, but to send a message to not prey on students,” Cardona said in response to the eccentric Connecticut Representative Rosa DeLauro’s inquiry about how the administration is tackling what she described as “a predatory for-profit school,” as reported by Fox News.

DeLauro
"DeLauro highlighted past actions against GCU, criticizing the university for deceptive practices related to the cost of education.

" 'Last year, your Department took action against Grand Canyon University, a predatory for-profit college, over the school’s failure to accurately disclose its cost to students, driving up the true cost for those students requiring them to pay for continuation courses before they would graduate – scam courses added about $10,000 or more to the cost of education to these kids,” DeLauro explained." . . .

Biden should go back to supporting Israel in full force -

 Farley Weiss- JNS.org

. . ."However, as Reform Rabbi Maurice Hirsch recently said, and as a Sienna poll recently found, the Biden administration is likely losing massive Jewish support as a result of its criticisms of Israel." . . .


"Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu formed a unity government on Oct. 12—just five days after the terrorist attacks in southern Israel by Hamas—and no longer is the Israeli government a so-called “narrow right-wing government.” Despite that fact, the Biden administration has made clear its goal to have the democratically elected prime minister removed from office. 

"Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent speech, which included a public call for Netanyahu’s ouster, was praised by U.S. President Joe Biden. However, the Biden administration concoction that the problem of Israel is some right-wing government is patently false because the current decision-making is being made by a three-man group, of which one of the members—Benny Gantz—is the current head of what polls show is the leading opposition party. The other two are Netanyahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. 

"Ridiculously, this push for Netanyahu to step down or call for new elections was reiterated by David Horovitz, editor of The Times of Israel, and Bret Stephens, a The New York Times columnist, even though a unity government is currently in place. It is noteworthy that both the Biden administration and Schumer’s preoccupation with criticizing National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich is also coming at a time when neither man is a member of the War Cabinet that has been making key decisions over the past six months for the government of Israel.

"The criticisms the Biden administration has made against Netanyahu were over policies that were not only adopted by the unity government but were also consensus positions in Israel. For example, the Biden foreign-policy team has complained publicly that it wanted Netanyahu to make more concessions in hostage negotiations (namely, to free many more mass murderers of Jews in exchange for Israeli grandfathers and women taken captive on Oct. 7 and dragged back into Gaza). When Netanyahu finally acquiesced, Hamas still said no." . . .
