On Friday, The Conservative Review reported that President Biden is pressuring Israel to scale back its offensive mission in Gaza.
The article reports:
Biden visited Israel, meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to reaffirm the United States’ commitment to the Jewish state throughout its war against the terrorist organization Hamas. While the United States agrees Hamas’ military infrastructure needs to be wiped out, the U.S. is reportedly influencing how Israel will conduct its ground invasion, urging the country to limit the number of civilian casualties in Gaza, three anonymous senior Israeli officials told Bloomberg in a Thursday report.
Because we have been so successful in our ground invasions fighting terrorism? Iraq, Afghanistan?
Before asking Israel to limit its operations in Gaza, maybe he should reconsider the cause of Israel planning a mission into Gaza. If a serial killer lives on your street, do you talk gently to him? At this point, there is no way to consider the ‘soldiers’ of Gaza other than serial killers. The brutality and lack of humanity that they exhibited in their attack on Israel does not call for restraint. There is a reason we execute murderers–it cuts down on the recidivism rate. If the response to Gaza is tempered, it is a safe bet that the terrorists will repeat their actions of October 7th.
The article concludes:
Biden and his officials are continuing to emphasize the importance of limiting casualties in Gaza, according to the outlet. The president is urging Israel to be cautious during its ground invasion and when responding to attacks from Hezbollah, an Iran-supported terrorist organization, Netanyahu’s former ambassador to Washington, Michael Oren, told Bloomberg.
The United States is worried about the Israel-Hamas conflict escalating, with increased concerns about Hezbollah entering the fight, which would pull the U.S. further into the conflict, Bloomberg reported.
Wars need to be fought–not played with. It’s time to go back to General Sherman’s concept of war.
