Hamas Sympathizer Anthony Blinken Blasted For Reportedly Threatening Israel

Backlash erupted against U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken after he told Israel that they are limited on time to wipe out Hamas and he is taking a lot of heat over his position. Hamas has spent years building itself up and it is unrealistic to think Israel can wipe out Hamas in just a week or two. He was told by Israel it could take months to eradicate Hamas.

A report from The Times Of Israel derived from Channel 12 News that  Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told Blinken that it could take months to wipe out Hamas. Blinken then made it clear that the United States would  run out of patience if it takes much longer. The truth is that Biden finds himself in a tough spot as voters who support terrorism are turning against him, but if he caves to them he would alienate even more voters. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t.

Blinken said:

“You can’t operate in southern Gaza in the way you did in the north.

 “There are two million Palestinians there. You need to evacuate fewer people from their homes, be more accurate in the attacks, not hit U.N. facilities, and ensure that there are enough protected areas [for civilians]. And if not? Then not to attack where there is a civilian population. What is your system of operation?”

“We follow a number of principles — proportionality, distinction, and the laws of war,” Halevi reportedly responded. “There were instances where we attacked on the basis of those principles, and instances where we decided not to attack, because we waited for a better opportunity”.

Gallant then asserted:

“The entire Israeli society is united behind the goal of dismantling Hamas, even if it takes months.”

Prompting Blinken to answer:

“I don’t think you have the credit for that.”

Despite the 1,200 Israelis murdered by Hamas in the October 7 attack, Blinken’s warning that Israel’s attack is on borrowed time is distinctly different from the Biden administration’s lasting and continuing support for Ukraine in its war against Russia, which has lasted since February 24, 2022. President Joe Biden asked Congress for $33 billion to support Ukraine on April 28, 2022; $20 billion of the funding was to provide weapons to Ukraine. According to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy, by September 2023 the Biden administration had sent $76.8 billion to Ukraine.

Blinken was harshly criticized for his threat to abandon U.S. support for Israel.

“Secretary Blinken’s meeting in Israel yesterday where he told Israel that they didn’t have the credit they needed to destroy Hamas followed by that rather disastrous press conference in which — I don’t even know how to frame it other than it was a complete and utter message to Hamas that we’re going to pull the rug out of Israel, do what you will — I think yesterday will go down as one of the worst diplomatic face plants in history,” radio host Hugh Hewitt said bluntly.

“The idea that after the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, Israel needs ‘credit’ to defend itse lf is outrageous. Blinken and Biden should be ashamed. The American people stand with Israel — even if Biden does not,” Arkansas GOP Senator Tom Cotton blasted.
