Biden ceasefire in Gaza only helps Hamas

 Red State:

When it comes to Joe Biden and the Democrats, it's always about their own power and control. If allies get in the way, then too bad for them. 

Biden and the Democrats know they are in trouble in the upcoming election. One of the reasons why -- and there are many -- is that the left of their party wants a ceasefire in Gaza. 

It looks like Biden is now caving to the left and throwing Israel under the bus in a big way.

The Biden administration is reportedly taking its goal of a temporary cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war to the U.N. Security Council as early as Tuesday. 

The administration is said to have proposed a draft U.N. Security Council resolution which in part would call for a temporary cease-fire and call on Israel not to go into Rafah in the Gaza Strip. 

According to Reuters, the U.S. text states in part that it "determines that under current circumstances a major ground offensive into Rafah would result in further harm to civilians and their further displacement including potentially into neighboring countries."

So much for having the back of an ally. Biden has shown by this move that we can't be counted on as an ally, just like he showed our allies in Afghanistan when he left the people who helped us behind to the mercy of the Taliban. 

Such a move is also calling for giving Hamas -- who killed Americans and is holding American hostages -- the opportunity to survive to continue their terrorism, Former Trump NSC official Richard Goldberg exclaimed. "The United States should be vetoing pro-Hamas resolutions, not proposing them," he said. "This is a complete betrayal of U.S. interests and values."

Going to the UN is a double betrayal, given how anti-Israel the U.N. is. 

The decision is Israel's. Nothing the U.N. says can stop them if they stick to their guns, but this is trying to twist their arm in a very public way. 

...

So Joe Biden is throwing a lifeline to Hamas, in a truly insane move, just as Israel is about to crush them. But while they are likely doing this to salve the anger of the left, it's not clear it will get them those votes. Meanwhile, it will lose them votes in the middle and from supporters of Israel. It will also send a big signal to our allies like Taiwan and others, that just like with Afghanistan, Joe Biden can't be counted on. 

...

Providing mercy to a merciless group of terrorists like Hamas is disgraceful.  Hamas started this war by engaging in the mass murder of 1,200 Israeli civilian non-combatants.  Israelis will not be safe if Hamas survives this war. Hamas is still holding Israeli captives.  Biden has become complicit by trying to stop Israel from responding to Hamas's war crimes.

Throughout the succeeding weeks, Awad questioned the accounts of Israelis who witnessed the massacre and rape of their fellow partiers at the Nova Music Festival, arguing that “Biden and Netanyahu proved to have lied several times” about the atrocities, which had at that point been confirmed by multiple eyewitnesses and, in some cases, recorded on video. Less than a week later, Awad hailed the 10/7 attacks: “I was happy to see people breaking the siege and throwing down the shackles of their own land and walk free into their land, which they were not allowed to walk in.”
