Staff Reports
Antony Blinken, United States Secretary of State, recently appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation.” During the interview, Blinken criticized Israel for their military actions against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. This is concerning as Israel has the right to defend itself against terrorist attacks.
The Biden administration even threatened to withhold arms shipments to Israel if they invade the Hamas stronghold of Rafah. This is a dangerous move that weakens our ally in the Middle East. It’s important for the United States to stand firmly behind Israel in their fight against terrorism.
I despise these ppl. Any capitulation from Israel, no matter how tiny, and they are no more. The Biden Admin neither understands nor cares.https://t.co/pD5N4Ejeap

Blinken discussed concerns about Israel’s actions possibly violating international humanitarian law. It’s crucial to recognize that Israel faces a difficult task in fighting Hamas, a terrorist group that uses civilians as human shields. Israel is committed to self-correction and accountability, unlike many other countries in similar situations.
The international community’s response to the Israel-Hamas conflict has been disappointing. While Hamas initiated the violence by invading Israel and causing harm to its people, many have turned their backs on Israel. This is unjust and shows a lack of understanding of the complexities of the situation in the region.
By raising doubts about Israel’s actions and suggesting withholding support, the Biden administration is making it harder for Israel to defend itself effectively. Israel needs unwavering support from its allies, especially the United States, during these challenging times.
It’s crucial for the Biden administration to reassess its stance and provide full support to Israel in its fight against terrorism. The safety and security of the Israeli people should be a top priority, and any actions that undermine Israel’s ability to defend itself must be avoided.
