Of Course: Biden Now Pressuring Israel Not to Retaliate Against IRan

All to appease the angry jihadis of Michiganistan.

Hours after Israel staved off a massive wave of Iranian missile and drone assault, President Joe Biden has reportedly told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to refrain from retaliating against the biggest aerial attack on the country by a hostile state in 30 years.
The U.S. will not support Israel in its military response against Iran, President Biden said to Prime Minister Netanyahu during a phone call on Saturday, the news website Axios reported.
According to The New York Post, President Biden also downplayed the Iranian attack comprising hundreds missiles and drones, telling Prime Minister Netanyahu that "nothing of "value" was hit in Iran's airborne attack Saturday and asserted American forces will not be participating in any offensive against Iran."

Israeli journalist Barak Ravid reported in the Axios:

President Biden told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a call on Saturday that the U.S. won't support any Israeli counterattack against Iran, a senior White House official told Axios." (....)
"You got a win. Take the win," Biden told Netanyahu, according to the official. (...)

The ISIS vote is now a key bloc of the Democrat Party.

Speaker Johnson is using this opportunity to push a "massive" aid bill for Israel -- and, did I mention, Ukraine? --which will include absolutely zero changes in the US border policy.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a $95 billion supplemental package that would provide support to Israel and Ukraine, as well as humanitarian aid for civilians in Ukraine and Gaza.
The move comes after Iran launched a massive drone strike against Northern Israel, supposedly in retaliation for an Israeli airstrike that eliminated seven senior Iranian military officials.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and President Joe Biden have expressed support for the aid package, emphasizing the need for its swift passage.

Of course they support it. It's all they've ever supported.

When do we get around to passing things Republicans support, Speaker?

All that being said, if Trump wins Michigan, he's President. Is there some "maneuvering" where trump can win over these Arabs in MI? I'm not sure a strong pro-Israel stance is some big vote getter. Even if its the right thing to do.

American Jewish voters are not "swing" voters, they will uniformly vote against Trump, even if Biden chanted "Death to Israel".

This is an act of war. If North Korea sent drones and missiles to the west coast and we successfully downed them, would we just say Whew. We successfully defended ourselves so no problem. We are just fine with this.

Horrors.

I know a few people who travel a lot on business, and I know a few things about them.

- They buy coach seats, due to company policy, but are frequently upgraded to business class, because they are members of the airline's Double Platinum Whizzy Mileage Club.

- They are members of the airline's Double Platinum Whizzy Mileage Club because they fly a lot.

- Having to fly a lot on business is not some sort of keen corporate perk - it's awful.

I think it really boils down to how corrupt the system is that it really doesn't matter who you put into that job, the administrative state/Deep State is calling the shots and deciding what the priorities are going to be.

The only way to not get someone who can be pressured would be to make the SOH some outsider billionaire with zero f**ks to give and is not controlled by anyone.

85 "All to appease the angry jihadis of Michiganistan."

Nan, it's much deeper than that. Even if Michigan were a total lock for Joey Showers in November -- such as if Trump were off the ballot in that state -- nothing would be any different. Not a single thing.

The Democrap party in general and Joey in particular have long had a love affair with Iran, which is driven in part by their hatred of Israel. Of course Iran never reciprocated this love. Just the opposite.

And Joey himself has never gotten over the "talk to the hand" dismissal that Menachem Begin gave him decades ago.

86 All that being said, if Trump wins Michigan, he's President. Is there some "maneuvering" where trump can win over these Arabs in MI? I'm not sure a strong pro-Israel stance is some big vote getter. Even if its the right thing to do.

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing a $95 billion supplemental package that would provide support to Israel and Ukraine, as well as humanitarian aid for civilians in Ukraine and Gaza.

94 The simple/only way to stop these massive spending bills is to turn off the money printer.

2. Send illegals to welfare offices to get benefits
3. Register illegals to vote at the welfare offices

This new bill would stop that

105 The State of Israel is widely believed to possess nuclear weapons. Estimates of Israel's stockpile range between 90 and 400 nuclear warheads, and the country is believed to possess the ability to deliver them in several methods, including by aircraft, as submarine-launched cruise missiles, and via the Jericho series of intermediate to intercontinental range ballistic missiles. Its first deliverable nuclear weapon is thought to have been completed in late 1966 or early 1967; which would make it the sixth country in the world to have developed them

107 This whole thing is theater - it was set up to proceed this way. Through back channels Iran let everyone know that the embassy strike had to have some sort of retaliation. Someone at the Biden Junta gave them the green light as long as it was within tolerances. So Iran's drone/missile "attack" was well-telegraphed, they knew what was coming, how many and when. The whole thing was easily defended with practically no damage or casualties. This was better coordinated than most professional wrestling matches. It's all "Tit-for-Tat" and Honor is maintained and Iran declares that this is the end of the matter. Of course Israel shouldn't respond. That was part of The Deal.

156 with UN support

supposedly there is a UN resolution that says 'a country has the right to defend itself', and Iran is doing that because their embassy in Syria got bombed by Israel-

of course, the true intent of that resolution is highly flexible and subject to change without notice

for example, if you're Israel
Posted by: Don Black at April 15, 2024 12:42 PM (oCjPU)

I suppose some people don't want to hear it, but the Israeli government knew exactly what it was doing, when they bombed the embassy.

They're getting what they want, and the only question that remains, will the get it harder than they expected or intended.

Posted by: Blast Hardcheese at April 15, 2024 12:37 PM (PWI4f)

I agree with everything you said until you got to "of course Israel shouldn't respond." Like hell they shouldn't. I don't care who choreographed the attacks, nothing is "settled" when you fire hundreds of missiles/drones into a country. It doesn't matter if this was all part of the plan (which I believe it was, and Iran is just hoping that Israel will feel the pressure from the world not to respond), you can't just sit there and take it when you are attacked like that. If this has all be programmed in advance, then Israel can take a similarly restrained and targeted response. But doing nothing is out of the question.

186 From the great grey whore herself, the NYT:

A high court in Argentina ruled on Thursday that Iran was the mastermind of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, potentially paving the way for relatives of victims to make claims against the country in international tribunals.
While Argentine investigators have long believed that Iranian operatives and high-ranking officials played key roles in the attacks, the decision this week by Argentina’s second-highest tribunal goes further by holding the Iranian state itself responsible.

Agreed, and it's worse than that, I think. Because of the deal that McCarthy made with Gaetz & Co so he could become Speaker in the first place, it's now the case that any Republican in the House can call to vacate if the Speaker steps out of line. I absolutely think that McCarthy should have been kicked out - and I have no regrets about that - but the unintended consequence is that unless you have a rock-solid caucus behind you, you're always treading on thin ice as the Speaker. I blame McCarthy because all he had to do was keep Gaetz (and the base) happy, and this option would have never been utilized - but the Dems owned him.

Brian Stelter: "I once had a potato mailed to me. I showed it to my kids. It's because that within the Fox Universe, I used to be called Humpty Dumpty. From there, it became 'Brian is a Potato'.
Imagine being such a Potato head you can't explain why your nickname is 'Potato Head'. It's because you look like a Potato, you dolt.
Fun fact: Brian Stelter is under 40 years old, and doesn't look a day under 60.
