The actions of Hamas on October 7, 2023, were clearly in violation of the rules of war that are generally agreed on internationally by civilized countries. Right now, there is a gang war going on in Gaza with Hamas killing anyone they think might have collaborated with Israel and rival gangs killing each other. Civilized behavior has not been a strong suit of the &#8216;Palestinians.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>The article at Red State continues:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Comparing the terrible ceasefire Blinken and Biden brokered to this one is so disingenuous. That ceasefire was never viable because it left hostages in the hands of Hamas, <em>and\u00a0<\/em>it provided no path to disarm and fully defeat the terrorist group, instead demanding Israel essentially surrender. It was the typical warmed-over slop we&#8217;ve come to expect from the Obama\/Biden axis of foreign policy expertise.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>At no point did the Biden administration apply any pressure on the Arab nations to turn against Hamas and end the war. More importantly, they never applied pressure on Iran, which was fueling the conflict in Gaza and propping up Hezbollah in the north as a threat. In short, the entire region was on fire, and it was handed over to Trump in <em>far\u00a0<\/em>worse condition than Biden and company found it.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>For Blinken to pretend the former administration laid the groundwork and showed the path forward is laughable. But he hadn&#8217;t reached peak shamelessness yet. That came later in his thread when he demanded the establishment of a Palestinian state.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>&#8230;This absolute clown. If you&#8217;ve been following this issue for any amount of time, you will understand how infuriating that is. The foreign policy establishment has insisted for decades that you could never get Arab buy-in, defeat Hamas, neuter Hezbollah, and limit Iran without giving the terrorists in Gaza a state. That issue was treated as the key to everything, basically becoming a tenet of faith and a bludgeon to beat Israel with. Trump walked in and proved them all wrong, securing the Abraham Accords and ending the war in Gaza by <em>marginalizing\u00a0<\/em>the issue, and yet they are <em>still\u00a0<\/em>claiming that a Palestinian state must be established.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The article concludes:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><strong>Americans should be so thankful that no one is listening to these over-credentialed imbeciles anymore. The arsonists don&#8217;t get to wag their fingers and lecture the firefighters who put out<em>\u00a0their\u00a0<\/em>fires. They certainly don&#8217;t get to take credit for it. The foreign policy establishment is a joke, and it should be treated as such.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Until the &#8216;Palestinians&#8217; learn to act like civilized people, there is no reason to give them a state.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Sunday, Red State posted an article about the peace process in the Middle East and the return of the hostages.
