Condemning Hamas attacks on Israel as the face of evil, 80-year-old President Joe Biden left no doubt in his unconditional support of Israel. Biden left no doubts about Palestinian excuses for the barbaric attack that saw Hamas terrorists massacring children and infants, where Israeli Defense Forces [IDF] reported beheadings of children in Kibbutz villages close to the Gaza border. Reports about Iran aiding Hamas in planning the savage slaughter of Israeli citizens and other civilians attending a rock festival near the border to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Sukkot. Over 250 concert-goers were butchered by Hamas with dozens others taken hostage and whisked away inside the Gaza Strip. Some 15 Americans have gone missing with at least 11 believed to be taken hostage by Hamas. Whatever the apologists for Hamas’ slaughter, Biden left no uncertainty where the U.S. stands.
Biden’s condemnation of Hamas terrorism comes with no reservations about what 73-year-old Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu plans to do after declaring war Oc. 7 on Hamas. “To any country, any organization, anyone thinking of taking advantage of the [Israeli] situation, I have one word, don’t!” Our heart may be broken, but our resolve is clear,” Biden said, giving Netanyahu the support needed to proceed with whatever ever operation is necessary to neutralize Hamas. Founded in the wake of the 1967 “Six Day War” and 1973 Yom Kippur War by Sheikh Ahmed Yassi and Abdel Asiz Al-Rantissi, Hamas aided Yasser Arafat’s Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] in destroying Israel. Hamas evolved over the years with Iranian backing into a neo-Nazi organization destined to finish Adolf Hitler’s Final Solution, to extermination what’s left of worldwide Jewry.
So when German Chancellor Olaf Scholz watches the bloodthirsty mayhem in Berlin, he’s reminded of the atrocities committed by Hitler against Jews and others during Germany’s infamous Nazi regime. Hamas and its Iranian backers routinely back neo-Nazism to, even host Holocaust deniers conferences, to pretend the Nazi’s massacre of 6 million European Jews never occurred. Former German Chancellor Angela Merkel once condemned Iran for hosting a Holocaust deniers conference in Tehran. Merkel told former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahamadinejad we in Germany know what Nazis did to Jews in WW II. Yet Hamas and Iran have inherited the neo-Nazi cause to finish Hitler’s Final Solution. Only by killing every last Jew in Israel would Hamas complete its mission of a modern-day Holocaust. So, when IDF sifts through the raped, tortured, beheaded remains of women and children, there’s no surprise.
When it comes to the Jew haters around the Mideast and the world, Biden sent a loud message. “We stand with Israel,” Biden said twice, and said the U.S. would supply Israel any military equipment necessary to complete its mission of neutralizing Hamas’ ongoing threat to the Jewish State. It’s stated purpose is . . . the murder of Jewish people,” Biden said, saying that Hamas offers “nothing but terror and bloodshed with no regard who pays the price,” referring to how Hamas exploits the Gaza population as human shields, destroying Gaza periodically in the name of reistance. Addel al-Houthi, the Iranian-backed leader of Yemen’s Houthi movement, warned Biden not to back Israel in anyway. In Iraq, Hadi Al-Amin, a pro-Iranian politician, threatened to target U.S. assets if Biden helps Israel. Al-Houthi and Al-Amiin said they would start a wider war with Shiite allies, like Hezbollah, to destroy Israel.
Biden infuriated many domestic and foreign pro-Palestinian groups. Biden delivered today at the White House the same clarion call against terrorism given by former President George W. Bush after Sept. 11. That the United States will not support any group, for whatever reason, who practices terrorism to achieve political goals. Hamas showed its true colors raping Israeli women and beheading children, showing the same barbarism not seen since the Nazis and modern-day Islamic State of Iraq and Syria [ISIS]. Today’s forceful response by Biden shows he’s still capable of leading the U.S. in times of crisis, something questioned by Republicans. No one could ask for a more forceful response from Biden today, serving notice to U.S. allies and foes, that the U.S. government backs Israel. Biden called Hamas attacks “an act of sheer evil,” bringing back memories of the Holocaust.
Calling Hamas out as a barbaric terrorist organization hell-bent of killing Jews, Biden minced no words with the global community. Biden warned any foreign power, including Iran, Iraq, Yemen, etc. if they dare to intervene, they would meet the full force of the U.S. military. Netanyahu knows that the mission in front of Israel won’t be easy, not will it end anytime soon. But Netanyahu sees Hamas as an existential threat to the Jewish State, something rallying the country to respond with the kind of resolve that won Israel independence in 1948 and statehood in 1949. Generations of Israelis have paid the ultimate price for the last 75 years to defend its right to exist and thrive as the only democracy in the Middle East. Biden has given Israel his full backing to defeat Hamas or any other enemy of the Jewish State.
