The Biden administration is playing into the hands of Islamic terrorists.
Israel has pushed deep into Gaza. It has mobilized large numbers of troops and is taking out top Hamas leaders and is on the verge of a full push into Gaza City that would finish Hamas.
And the Biden administration is pushing a demand straight from a demand by Hamas and its state sponsor, the Islamic terrorist state of Qatar.
President Joe Biden confirmed on Tuesday that he asked Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for a pause in the fighting in Gaza.
“I asked Prime Minister Netanyahu for a pause in the fighting in Gaza in a call on Monday,” Biden said, as quoted by Reuters.
Biden’s comments came hours after Barak Ravid of Axios reported that Biden urged Netanyahu in their call on Monday to agree to a three-day pause in the fighting to allow progress in releasing some of the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
According to a proposal that is being discussed between the US, Israel and Qatar, Hamas would release 10-15 hostages and use the three-day pause to verify the identities of all the hostages and deliver a list of names of the people it is holding, a US official told Ravid.
Remember when Hamas was claiming that it would release all the hostages in exchange for a 24-hour pause?
Hamas doesn’t need a three-day pause to verify the identities of the hostages. It’s had them for a month now.
Netanyahu has offered a pause in exchange for the release of all the hostages. Hamas won’t do that. And any list it produces is likely to be worthless. Islamic terrorists have a history of trying to claim ransom for dead bodies. It’s unknown how many of the hostages are actually alive. But if Hamas wants to verify all that, it can let the Red Cross (the actual one, not the Red Crescent which is just Hamas is a different color uniform) get access to them.
If there’s any lesson to be learned from Oct 7, it’s that Islamic terrorists lie. They attack under ceasefires, they make false promises and do anything they can to kill their victims.
The Israeli official told Axios that part of Netanyahu’s reservation is because Hamas attacked a group of Israeli soldiers, kidnapped one of them, and killed several others during a humanitarian pause during the 2014 Operation Protective Edge.
The Biden administration tried to rebrand the “humanitarian pause” as a “tactical pause”. Big mistake. This is a ground operation. Unlike air strikes, you’ve got soldiers in the middle of a battlefield. You can’t just hit the pause button. It’s one thing to have the WWI Christmas snowball fight, but we’re dealing here with monsters who cannot be trusted.
Why does Hamas keep demanding a pause and why do its supporters rally for a ceasefire?
Hamas has been hit hard, it needs to reposition, get some of its leaders out, move resources around and launch new attacks. Israel’s approach has been to keep hammering it, to move quickly, be agile and force it to react.
The Islamic terror group would like to stop reacting and take some kind of initiative.
That is what the ‘pause’ or the ‘ceasefire’ are for. It would be disastrous to agree to it.
The spectacular deal presented by Hamas and the Al-Thanis of Qatar is that it might release as many as 15 hostages in exchange for Israel allowing it to take the tactical initiative. Instead of Israel ending it and freeing the surviving hostages.
There’s nothing surprising about the actions of Hamas and Qatar here, but the Biden administration is playing into the hands of Islamic terrorists by pushing this offer.

Nothing that comes from Hamas should be trusted. They show no mercy and in return they should be given no mercy.
maria says
no pause. First Hamas must be destroyed and the whole Gaza will be Jewish.
All hostages must be release
Darshan says
For Muslims “Live and let live is exclusive for Muslims only”
Jack Reynolds says
The terrorist organization HAMAS has made a demand for a 3-day pause in exchange for release of 15 of the 200+ Israelis held captive.
.
ISRAEL needs to make a counteroffer:
• Immediately release all the hostages.
• Turn over HAMAS leaders to the Israeli government, so they can be tried for War Crimes.
• Failing either of the above, the War on Terror will continue.

The “pause” will come three days after hamas no longer exists and iran is no longer calling for the “river to the sea.”
Emilie Green says
Any pause is a one-way street. There’s NO upside for the good guys.
Everything is a one-way street with Muslims. As Robert is forever pointing out, when in Muslim countries, Westerners are to conform to Muslims ways. When in a Western country, Westerners are conform to Muslim ways.
tgusa says
Democrats have a islamic terrorist problem within their party. This is nothing more than an appeasement pause designed to calm their base of islamic terrorist sympathizers within the democrat party. The dems let them in to their party and now there is no going back. The phrase, between a rock and a hard place, describes the dems predicament perfectly.
somehistory says
Between the devil and the deep blue sea. And the sharks await.
maria says
Yes the DemonRats party has too many muslim animals in their administration and they are more and more demanding.
Away with all the muslims in the US
Westman says
Israel said there will be no ceasefire until all the hostages are released. That’s fair. Honestly, how many hostages are still alive? How many already, sodomized, raped, mutilated? And will Hamas then deal out 15 at a time for years as they periodically regroup, re-arm, and again make Vlad The Impaler seem like a kindly ice cream vendor?
Israel must persevere until Hamas cannot re-form again. If Iran or Turkey intervenes, don’t bother with conventional warfare. Israel will not survive if Iran has nuclear bombs. The time to stop that was 5 years ago, and will be impossible to stop in another 6-12 months.
This is the moment for the West to stand up to Islam or slowly slink into the dark, dank world of the dhimmi.
Transmaster says
As is being said in Israel, It is a different country now. It is them or us now. Israel for too many years has tried to negotiate with the “palestinians” nothing they have done has got them anywhere. There can be no peace when one side starts out at the negotiation table with one single demand, you all must die.
James Lincoln says
Yes, Transmaster.
This is for all of the marbles.
Michael says
Fair enough. And Israel, presumably, would hand over their war criminals to face trial. They have racked up far more war crimes, not to mention crimes against humanity, than the so-called “terrorist” group they helped create and groom to rule over their concentration camp known as Gaza.
JimJFox says
You are a very sick person, Michael.
Raghu says
What a joke? When the Islamists acted savagely did they seek USA / UN or for that matter anyone? Now various leaders of the world want pause from defending / retribution for savage Muslims. Iseral should not pause till these savages are taught a lesson.
tgusa says
Lets have a humanitarian pause says the Colonel Blimp regime. In the movie there was only one Colonel Blimp. The biden regime is loaded with them.
STJOHNOFGRAFTON says
That well worn nausea producing canard: Islam Is A Religion Of Peace comes to mind. The persistent flow of atrocities and misery connected to anything Islamic reported in the legacy media, and especially in the alternative media, clearly prove that the opposite is true of Islam and that Islam is a religion of evil not peace.
Walter Sieruk says
The government officials of the State of Israel as well as the heads of the Israeli military would be fools to heed the “advice” of that pro-Iran , pro-PA ,Joe Biden and his sinister anti-Israel administration.
A “three day pause” would give the jihadists who makeup that vile heinous and murderous jihad entity, Hamas a that “pause” would give three day time period for Hamas to regroup and then to engage in deadly and destructive Islamic terror attack against Israel and her civilian citizens.
To way to destroy that horrendously evil Hamas is to hit it long and hard and to keep on hitting it, without a “pause, until its so defeated that its unable to rise up again.
Hudders. says
Hamas can NEVER be trusted.
It is one satanic semanatic statement after another.
The terrorists & Biden administration worship the same god;…It’s name is death.
As as such can NEVER be trusted.
somehistory says
Hudders, people who make a habit of lying, are more likely to lie than to tell the Truth. biden, bo, and those of their ilk, are all liars and should not be trusted…ever.
And no mozlum should be either as they are taught to lie.
You are right about hamas….no one should trust them at all, ever.
And that goes for iran, and all other mozlum run countries.
All nations are ruled by man. People lie. It’s difficult to find an honest person, and that search is getting more difficult by the day.
James Lincoln says
somehistory says,
“It’s difficult to find an honest person, and that search is getting more difficult by the day.”
Difficult – not impossible.
But…
We have reached the point where telling the truth is an anomaly.
somehistory says
I agree, James. And that is so sad.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Israel should just ignore Biden for the rest of his term. Every Dem POTUS – Clinton & Obama – tried to interfere in their elections to defeat Netanyahu. In return, Netanyahu should keep the operations on, & force a split among the Dems. If Biden supports him, he loses the muslim vote among the Dems, who’d go not to GOP but to Cornel West, but it would still be enough to lose Michigan & Minnesota. If Biden tries to act against him, he loses the Jewish vote, as well as Jewish donors
Netanyahu should retaliate for all the illegal acts done against him, & have the last laugh by causing a Democrat debacle next year
Ade Fegan says
Who’s “Biden” .. ignore the twat
Goofy says
Netanyahu knows that US advice is precious based on the superpower’ military performance since the Korea war, its I’ll conceived and badly executed Ukraine war included.
And the US obviously has no clue about Islam.
Israel, if you just do the opposite of the US advice you will be just fine!
Jgfla says
USA takes the lead in the international Islamopandering derby.
JimJFox says
Sorry but I must disagree. The United Kingdom is way ahead in the pandering Stakes
FYI says
Hamas need to RELEASE the Hostages:NOW.
ALL of them.But they won’t.So the war will continue..because of Hamas.
Think of the children being held hostage.There is no excuse for that.It is a war crime.
Homer Bedloe says
Is there any phase of government that the Biden Administration hasn’t perverted? All I can say is, “Let’s go Brandon!”
somehistory says
“The Council on American–Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim civil rights and advocacy group, has called on US President Joe Biden to pressure the Israeli government to release Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi.
Tamimi, 22, was arrested by Israel on Monday after she posted on Instagram that Palestinians would slaughter Israeli “settlers.””
Will this turn out like the basketball player with russian terrorist did?
somehistory says
Breaking news: Israel is reported to have agreed to “daily four hour pauses” to give time for fleeing south.
Walter Sieruk says
Those on power in the State of Israel would be wise to completely disregard and ignore that false counsel of Joe Biden and his administration for a “three day pause” in that war against Hamas.
There is a great difference between the fool and terrible “advice” of Biden and his crew of foolishly having a “three day pause” in contrast, the wisdom spoken by a genuine US President, Thomas Jefferson, who had rightly said “With every barbarous people….force is law.”
It should also be added that the jihadists who make up Hamas cannot and will not take heed of reason or logic. The only language that they are capable of understanding is that of the language of the might of a strong brutal military might. Therefore, they should be dealt with that way..
