The United States, and specifically Antony Blinken and Joe Biden, still have not. As Blinken met with the unity government in Jerusalem to push Israel to \u2018pause\u2019 operations for aid to flow into northern Gaza, Netanyahu delivered a rather humiliating public rebuke.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article quotes The Times of Israel:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>In a brief televised statement before the start of Shabbat, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says he has told visiting US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that he rejects any temporary halt to the fight against Hamas that does not include \u201cthe release of our hostages. He also says Israel \u201cwill not enable the entry of fuel to Gaza.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Netanyahu begins by promising that victory will be \u201csharp and clear\u201d and will \u201cresonate for generations.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>He says Israel\u2019s enemies aim to destroy the country and will fail. \u201cWe won\u2019t stop until victory,\u201d he says, specifying that this means \u201cto destroy Hamas, [and attain the] return of the hostages and the restoration of security for our citizens and children.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>No kidding. So why are Biden and Blinken insisting on pauses and negotiations with the monsters of October 7 rather than supporting their effort to eradicate them? Why are we publicly playing into Hamas\u2019 hostaging strategy when our own citizens are at risk rather than ending the incentives of such strategies forcefully and decisively?\u00a0Incoherent\u00a0hardly covers it; moral idiocy comes a lot closer to explaining the Biden administration\u2019s pressure.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We need to remember that Israel was at peace when Hamas attacked. Hamas did not attack military targets. They attacked innocent civilians in the most brutal ways possible. If there are no serious consequences for their actions, what is going to stop them from repeating those actions?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On November 3rd, Hot Air posted an article about a recent statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
