Blinken deletes tweet calling for cease fire

Last week we had Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas delete post calling the border needed to be secured thus they would be continuing building Trump's wall.

Now we have Blinken deleting a post calling for a cease fire by Israel and Hamas.

Our President Biden is missing in action (again).

He was missing for days when Maui burned to the ground. He appears whether a National or ally crisis, Biden fails to lead quickly and with precision.

Sorry, Joe needs to head into retirement, the US needs a strong leader, our allies need a strong leader. Our adversaries need to weary of our leaders.  Joe Biden is a laughing stock in China, Russia and Iran. We should all be embarrassed he was voted into office.

Biden being elected was him simply hitting the finish line to a long and…well…long career.

Biden is the Julio Franco of politics…a career of mediocrity that should’ve ended a decade earlier.

I see why the squad, Blinken and other Democrats do not support Israel.
MIDDLE EAST
Democrats support Palestinians over Israel, GOP overwhelmingly stands with US ally: 2023 poll
Republicans overwhelmingly support Israel with 78% supporting the Middle Eastern ally
More Democrats in the United States support Palestinians living in Gaza and the West Bank than Israel, the closest U.S. ally in the Middle East, according to a 2023 poll.

Democratic sympathies for Palestinians has increased over the last decade, and a Gallup poll published in March 2023 found their affinity toward the Palestinians finally eclipsed their support of Israel, 49% to 38%.
Meanwhile, across the proverbial aisle, Republicans overwhelmingly support Israel with 78% supporting the Middle Eastern ally. Only 11% expressed sympathies more with the Palestinians.

The nearly 8-in-10 support for Israel has been steadfast since 2003, dipping only once over the past 20 years below 70%.

More Independents support Israel (49%) than Palestinians (32%). Nineteen percent said they did not favor one side over the other, according to Gallup.



It is very sad Democrats support Palestinians who allow Hamas, a known terrorist group to operate in Gaza.

What is the source of this picture? Please provide context these are 100% Democrats.

I have personally never seen any protest good of bad made up by political party.

So please provide the link and details.

Blinken immediately asked Israel to stand down? How is that standing 100% with Israel? Deleting the message does not remove it, simply told us the Biden administration initial thoughts only to change due to the outcry.

Biden does not mention Iran's involvement in another short speech today on Israel with no questions taken by the POTUS. Why is Biden's policies relating to Iran equal appeasement starting in January 2021 when he removed sanctions? He has allowed them to reverse their economy and enable them to get closer to nuclear capabilities. Iran is an ally of Russia, yet Biden treats them like royalty.

Jake Sullivan less than 2 weeks ago took a victory lap for the Middle East, saying it was quieter than it has been in decades. Yet, there are over 80 terrorist attacks since 2021 and Biden failed to react to almost all of them. The Biden administration was asleep at the wheel, they are so focused on the destruction of Donald Trump, they allowed our partner Israel to be brutally attacked. Hamas duped our intelligence, they duped Israel intelligence into thinking Hamas was going to stand down as they spent months working with Iran to pull off one of the biggest slaughter of innocent babies, mothers, fathers, grandparents and children.

I just can't believe how those on this board and in the world can sympathize with the actions of Hamas, in many cases doubling down and placing blame on Israel. Those people's ethics mortify me. Those same people's actions will result on future attacks not only on foreign soil, but also here at home due to the immigration policies of Biden allowing terrorists to enter the US undetected. We are almost 8 million encounters since 2021 under Biden not including an estimated 1.5 million undetected according to border control cameras.

God help us all.

Charlottesville Unite The Right rally as they chant ''Jews will not replace us''.

I'm assuming that this didn't get much coverage on Fox News.

Despicable display by White Nationalists.

Would you agree BLM protests all over the country were 100 times worse? Businesses were looted, police stations were burnt to the ground and police were literally bombed with home made bombs.

How about the actions of Antifa? They are the far left equivalent of the white nationalists.

Neither is acceptable, but you don't get to condemn one far right wing group without condemning far left groups as well.

Our country is better than this, all extreme groups need to be called out in a bipartisan way.

What are those different groups protesting? 

I heard one was calling for EQUAL justice.

The other was calling for UNEQUAL justice.  

Not sure what "bipartisan" condemnation looks like here.  Just against the violence?

My left wing bias would tend me to worry more if right wing protests erupted all over the nation burning down
police stations to advance inequality.

Could you slow down and decode your post a bit?

When you say Blinken told Israel to "stand down," were you referring the call for both sides to cease fire?

It was Trump who broke the Iran Deal and then relaxed sanctions so Iran could sell oil to China and South Korea.
Why are you saying Biden allowed them to reverse their economy and enable them to get closer to nuclear capabilities?

How is maintaining what is still one of the harshest sanctions regimes in world history "treating them like royalty"?

How was it Biden's job to protect Israel from Hamas? Aren't they supposedly monitoring Gaza 24/7 with drones and the like?
The US looks away for one second and boom? (Biden was warned by Thomas Friedman NOT to further a peace agreement
between Saudi Arabia and Israel without addressing the Palestinian issue or there would be an explosion. Biden appears
to have ignored him. So yes, maybe some responsibility there.)

That increase in sympathy is world wide.

I think it is in part due to both Intifaddas.

They improved press coverage somewhat.

[NotBigzo]

Calls for a cease fire now is like someone getting sucker punched in the face, and then going

"wait why are we even fighting"

When the person who got punched is off his seat ready to throw hands.

Time for peace is over. IDF will do what it wants and discuss peace when they're ready.
