Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Biden/Obama

One civilian death is too many! Israel is targeting civilian aid workers! Israel is murdering children! Israel must do more to protect innocents! Israel is risking Western support by being so brutal!

Israel Kills 37 Civilians At Wedding Party

Israel admits drone strike killed civilians

Except...those were American strikes that mistakenly killed civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. It is an unavoidable consequence of military action that civilians will be killed. The numbers are all over the place for both Afghanistan and Iraq, but the civilian to military/insurgent ratios seem to be 4-5 to 1. Of course the usual suspects accused America of purposefully targeting civilians, but no rational analysis of the conflicts will find any concerted effort to kill civilians, and in fact the rules of engagement for American forces were frankly insane. American soldiers died needlessly because of those rules.

The same can be said of Israel. The care with which its military fights -- to prevent civilian deaths -- risks its soldier's lives.

But that inconvenient fact is lost in the frothing Jew-hate across the world, as America's and the UK's leadership has faltered amidst a surging Arab population in both countries that is hellbent on delegitimizing Israel and creating the conditions necessary for its destruction. Their relationship of convenience with a myriad of left-wing NGOs that are traditionally anti-Semitic has created a perfect storm of institutionalized Jew-hate that gleefully manipulates the narrative to depict Israel as an apartheid state that is viciously attacking an innocent population on its border.

Here is Melanie Phillips with her usual brilliance, calling out the hypocrisy of the West...

The global onslaught against Israel: Britain and America are making the Jewish state their scapegoat

Although an IDF inquiry has yet to explain what happened, the Israelis have acknowledged a terrible mistake caused by “misidentification”. Bad things happen in war and this was a dreadful tragedy.

But the malice of the response is astonishing. Israel is being accused of having deliberately targeted the aid convoy, which allegedly proves that Israel has no concerns about civilian deaths, no heart and no conscience.

WCK’s response has gone far beyond justifiable anger and horror, defaming Israel with baseless and incendiary charges.

The organisation’s chief executive, Erin Gore, accused Israel of a “targeted attack” designed to deter aid agencies working in Gaza and of using food “as a weapon of war”. WCK’s founder, José Andrés, accused Israel of targeting his workers “systematically, car by car”.


Erin Gore and José Andrés are slandering the IDF and its incredible efforts to minimize civilian casualties. They are not perfect, but they are the best in the world at that task, and there is no reason other than virulent anti-Israel sentiment to explain it.

Even granting the laughable reasons that these leftist celebrities spout, Israel could simply stop the flow of aid at the border. But they don't, and in fact the aid organizations are incapable of handling the large volume of supplies that Israel checks for arms and then allows into Gaza.

That America and the UK are not steadfast in their support of Israel -- the country that does much of the fighting for the West against Islam -- is a political calculation intended to bolster the current governments. The Biden/Obama junta is concerned about the vital electoral votes of Michigan, with its huge Arab population, and waning support from the hard left, which is virulently anti-Semitic. The UK is in an even more precarious situation, with its Muslim population approaching 10%.

In addition, the lunacy of America's Iran policy, which seems to be designed to allow the Mullahs to build a nuclear arsenal as quickly as possible, looms large. The Obama faction in the Biden administration has always been anti-Israel, and their goal is a strong Iran to counter Israel's power in the Middle East. Never mind that there may be a nuclear exchange because of their policy!

Israel is a pluralistic society that embraces the Judeo-Christian concepts of freedom, individual dignity, and respect for the rule of law. It should be axiomatic that it is supported by the rest of the West in its struggles with Islam. But the difference of course is that Israel is a Jewish state...the ONLY Jewish state, and the traditional antipathy of the left toward Jews and Judaism has coalesced around Israel's response to the butchery of the October 7th Pogrom.

So far Israel has resisted the calls for it to stand down before the perpetrators of that monstrosity have been destroyed. And the unintended consequence of that horrendous event has been to unify Israel to a great extent. The country is steadfast in its focus on the destruction of Hamas and the other forces arrayed on its borders.

But the West, led by America and the UK are busily undermining Israel for political considerations that may fracture the relationship and push Israel away from its historical allies, and into a more friendly relationship with China, India, and even Russia.

It is of course, possible it was a terrible mistake. It is also possible it was a deliberate attack, without concern for the possibility the convoy contained "innocent" civilians.

And of course it is entirely possible we will never know which. Some will trust the Israeli government will investigate fully, and reach a just conclusion. Some won't.

I don't imagine anyone on either side of that divide will have their minds changed by the time a conclusion is reached.

20 Obama was typically pretty gleeful about ordering a drone strike on someone. I don't think they are even telling Biden details of strikes after the fact.

But huge mobs of americans still treat FNM reports as credible. I don't see America recovering until the FNM pays a steep price for their lies and communist cheerleading. And with the schools pushing the commie mindset vast swaths of people are primed against Israel and jews in general because "it's not fair that they are richer and more successful" Envy is evil and instead of teaching folks to resist that evil so many institutions are encouraging it to push evil agendas.

The truth is nobody really gives a shit about the Palestinians. Not the people in the region or the people wearing towels around the world. They've done nothing to help them for years and no Arab country is interested in taking any Palestinians for any reason.

They pretend to care now because they are a convenient club to beat Israel with but that's it. As soon as this war is over they will right back to not caring about them again and use the towels to dry dishes.

If the United States submits to a division now, it will not stop, but will go on until we reap the fate of Mexico, which is eternal war.

67 Why apartheid regime? Why not White Government? It was the latter until 1961 when S. Africa declared itself a republic! I like to call our government a Junta as the military has considerable influence on how we are governed.
The reason one cannot compare Israel to pre-1994 South Africa is that the Arab population of Israel is a minority whereas the African population of SA was a majority. That meant that the moment the Blacks got the vote, the current White government would be replaced in toto, and that's what happened. So all that had been achieved went by the wayside and look at the lovely South Africa of today: rape and murder capital of the World? Rolling brown/black-outs.
It's easy to point fingers. I lived there from 1966-1994.

Related: Insty had a link to a very interesting article in the hard-left The American Prospect about Boeing and the whistleblower who magically killed himself. The CEO literally improved reported defect rates by firing the people reporting the defects. And known-defective parts that were locked away for return to the manufacturers started being put on planes en masse and the whistleblower was punished for trying to stop it.

It got so bad Qatar Airlines refused delivery and then paid al-Jazeera to make a tell-all documentary about how shitty Boeing had become.

70 I'm out the door in a minute but wanted to comment.
Big headline on Breitbart that Israel has pullled it's troops out of the south(where Rafah is) and Haniyah claiming Hamas has won. Israeli X sites say moving troops around to deal with threat from the North and also because they are done in several areas and have blown up tunnels.
But if it makes Biden admin believe they have accomplished their goal....
I think the Israelis will do whatever their strategic plan calls for regardless of what any Western power has to say.
They will not be caught flat footed again and the threat from Iran is way more serious than from Hamas at this point.

Posted by: Sharon(willow's apprentice) at April 07, 2024 12:37 PM (t/2Uw)

71 Unfortunately, probably the best way to spare the greatest number of innocent civilians is to carpet bomb Gaza (or something decisive) and completely subdue Hamas. Yes, civilians will be bombed, but quite possibly fewer killed than in a protracted war. We already know that Hamas will not accept anything less than Israel's annihilation so it's not like they'll change their mind if Israel is ultra considerate in how they wage war. Israel can win decisively in a short time and then the casualties will stop.

73 Israel is a pluralistic society that embraces the Judeo-Christian concepts of freedom, individual dignity, and respect for the rule of law.

Obviously they must be destroyed.

74 It will be interesting to see how the elections go - you do have a loud minority of AsAJews who care more about their leftist credentials than the survival of the State of Israel, but it has to be painfully evident to other Jews by this point that a vote for Biden is a vote for the eventual destruction of Israel.

One thing that is striking is that Biden's people think that they can become increasingly pro-Hamas to placate Muslims and leftists, without losing the votes of Jews.

We'll see if that works out for them.

114 In military operations, one of the most difficult things to accomplish is surrounding your enemy and then closing in. As the circle shrinks, the chances of fratricide increase. This is a bit of what the IDF is facing. Hamas has the Egyptian wall on one side, the sea on the other, and the IDF closing in everywhere else. Now introduce outsiders moving in and about the area of operations and the opportunity for a screw up is almost guaranteed. It is difficult to coordinate operations at any time, but adding outsiders just
makes it worse.

There are many encouraging signs, often from the Democrats themselves. They're trying to further insulate Federal employees from Trump's wrath. They're trying to get Sotomayor to retire so Biden can name a replacement. As mentioned above, they're telling their minions not to register young people, including blacks. People like Carville are saying heretofore unsayable things, e.g. that the Dems pander too much to females. Now they're jettisoning the Jewish vote.

The inflow of money to the RNC dramatically increased after the defenestration of Ronna. The polling is going his way. The RNC has finally caught on that the base wants them to emphasize electoral integrity.

I'm sure there is some thought given to the Arab vote in Michigan but I think the reason Biden/Obama is doing this is much broader. Obama worked hard to change the balance of power in the Middle East toward Iran at the expense of traditional partners most notably Israel. Biden is continuing that policy.

And it seems pretty clear there is an active Iran/Qatar influence campaign being carried out on college campuses and other areas as soon as the war started to influence young voters. There's no way all of this support for Hamas and Palestinians is organic, it was created just like BLM, trans and ever other leftist movement.

157 If every person 18 and up in the US born to Jewish parents voted for Trump, how many additional Electoral Votes would Trump get? The Dems have no doubt run that scenario, and may see nothing to worry about. Which is why they see no 2024 electoral risk in favoring Hamas over Israel.

I see it differently. I think they're starting to get desperate, and figure the Joos aren't going anywhere, even if they (the Dems) suck up to the muzzies. I think they're wrong.

The talk about Trump's support for Ronna was accurate. As one of the people calling for her removal, I'm thrilled she's gone, but Trump should have repudiated her much earlier. Regardless, she is gone, and that is having a very positive effect, since her successors are doing what the base has called for for years.

ME is set to become the 17th state to join the "national popular vote compact." As a refresher, this is an attempt to abolish the electoral college-- without a Constitutional amendment. This is a long-term left/DEM effort that has been flying under the radar for over a decade.

If half the states pass it, the electoral votes of those states would go to the winner of the national popular vote-- not the winner of that individual state.

183 50,000 Wisconsin voters just told Biden to stop the Gaza war. Will he listen? Ignoring the message that swing voters are sending is dangerous. US policy for arming Israel must change. These voters aren't protesting the existence of Israel. They are protesting Israel’s decimation of Gaza and its murders and deliberate starvation of innocent Palestinians, and now humanitarian aid workers, and the US role enabling Israel.

He's going to propose a ceasefire, which Hamas will reject, and these idiots will blame Biden.

Hamas will reject grounds for ceasefire because Israel will only accept a ceasefire 100% on Israel's terms, some of which cannot be achieved or measured (like 100% return of hostages). The assumption Hamas has command and control in Gaza is a joke.

Biden is doing what he can to dampen the attack on Gaza (and the illegal West Bank settlements) and to avoid a wider regional war. Israel under current leadership is using the USA for cover.

191 I simplified my description of the national popular vote compact horror show a little bit. It's more complex than what I described.

By its terms, it would only go into effect when states* having a total of 270 electoral votes adopt it. The states that have already adopted it are now at 78% of the 270. So we're perilously close to the abyss right now.

To be fair, the nightmare would face serious legal hurdles if it's adopted. The argument against is that the Constitution prescribes the way POTUS is elected, & states can't change that without amending the Constitution.

213 How many civilians were killed when a Hamas rocket, with all the careful engineering it entails, went awry and landed at a hospital?

How many giga-lives were snuffed out by the Juice during their attack on the hospital... until it was shown with video evidence (albeit some versions from unrelated attacks) that the rocket indisputably came from the Hamas side?

And that, despite claims that the hospital was vaporized, much like then ending from "The Rock", it actually only hit outside of it, though still claiming casualties completely of Hamas's own doing?


And if any asshole says that they're not comparable... well, yeah, asshole! Because one was an accident that Israel admitted to and took corrective steps after the fact, versus one that was blamed on the Jews and quickly retired when the truth curb-stomped the lies because said truth just happened to have its boots already on.

222 WCK has done some good work in disaster relief. That they chose to place their affiliated workers in an active war zone is something THEY should answer for.

Was the need to feed hungry terrorists greater than the safety of their workers? Own that decision and explain yourselves.

225 The neighbor who lives behind me wants to have a pool put in his backyard, and he came by this morning while I was working in the garden to ask if it would be possible for the pool contractor to drive a crane through my yard, said it would be easier to lower the pool from there into his backyard. I told him I was strongly disinclined to authorize this. Even if the risk of damage is small, it isn't zero (I've got a sprinkler system and sprinkler heads in the yard, not to mention a big lawn), and any damage would most likely be to my property, and I'm not even a party to this transaction. Pretty big ask, but at least he seems to understand my reservations.

226 Biden has been on the wrong side of every foreign policy blunder he has ever had a part in. This time he's trying to appease barbarians.

229 Over 200 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7. Israel is being held responsible for SEVEN of them. If there were more, you know that there would have been more criticism. So who is responsible for the deaths of the other 193+ aid workers? Where is the outrage?

230 And of course, nobody is reading this thread, but I think I was correct again. A writer who has written for the NY Times and NPR and was raised in a secular family probably isn't going to have a serious view either about religion or the Constitution. It's a joke book. It sounds like, because "Living Constitutionally" is Not about being a faithful Jew or Christian:

"A.J. Jacobs decides to dive in headfirst and attempt to obey the Bible as literally as possible for one full year. He vows to follow the Ten Commandments. To be fruitful and multiply. To love his neighbor. But also to obey the hundreds of less publicized rules: to avoid wearing clothes made of mixed fibers; to play a ten-string harp; to stone adulterers."

So, "LIving Constitutionally" (Jacobs new book)is a about wearing a tricorne hat and trying to take your wife's job away because women in the 1700's couldn't sign legal agreements back then. HEELARIOUS/ Sarc.

231 Meant "LIving Biblically" is not about being a serious Jew or Christian and "LIving Constitutionally" is not a serious book about the Constitution

Try therapy. Your obsession with calling CBD names is just ridiculous.

233 On Charity Navigator, Erin Gore's salary is listed at $170,000. The other key people earn that much and more. Nathan Mook, the top guy until recently, and former filmmaker, makes $224K.
And is any relation to Clinton guy Robby Mook?
