Well, we have seen this movie before. The media gleefully celebrate the allegedly historic DEAL between the Israeli Government and the terrorist group Hamas and certain politicians try to grab the glory.
US President Joe Biden hailed "many months of intensive diplomacy" for bringing about a ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, as he outlined the next steps of the deal to end 15 months of war.
Naturally, he is lying. Everything you see unfolding is a direct consequence of the Trump regime coming to power. A deal needed to be done before Jan 20th, regardless of the nature of the deal.
At a White House briefing on Wednesday, Bide said he was "deeply satisfied this day has come" and called the negotiations some of the toughest of his career. The agreement consists of three phases, Biden said, the first of which includes a "full and complete ceasefire" which will begin on 19 January – the day before he leaves office. He said a still to be negotiated second phase of the agreement would bring a "permanent end to the war", adding that he was confident the deal would hold.
So just for clarity, all that has been ‘agreed’ is a temporary cessation of hostilities and the release of some Israeli hostages for Hamas terrorists. Beyond that, nothing is certain.
I can see some pro-Israel commentators very upset by this deal, calling it sordid and not a good one. I agree. It’s my belief that that is all about Trump pushing Israel to comply before Jan 20th and in the interests of realpolitik that’s what Netanyahu has gone along with. Perhaps he had little choice?
My personal opinion that ANY deal with leaves ANY Hamas terrorist alive is a bad deal. But watching that decrepit corpse Biden claim CREDIT for this is even worse.
Here is how Hamas responded to the ceasefire. Thousands of Palestinians are out on the streets of Gaza chanting "Allahu Akbar! We will go to Jerusalem, [sacrifice] millions of martyrs." They are directly saying they want more war and to die. What kind of perverse culture is this?
Back in 1998, I was one of those most publicly opposed to the “peace process” in Northern Ireland. I believed then, as I do now, it is morally wrong to appease terrorists. However voices like mine were bulldozed by a globalist desire to impose a fake peace. I see this as analogous to that which is happening in Israel today.
For final clarity, I am pro peace and don’t want to see Israelis or Palestinians die but that does not mean we lose moral focus. Terrorism is ALWAYS wrong.
"My personal opinion that ANY deal with leaves ANY Hamas terrorist alive is a bad deal. "
And how are you deciding who is a Hamas terrorist? Has there been a fair trial? Should Israel keep bombing Gaza until they are "sure" every Hamas terrorist is dead? When would that be, when all the Palestinians are dead?
