US President Joe Biden said Wednesday that his administration will not support Israel or provide it with offensive weapons if it launches an operation against Hamas in populated parts of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Just about every war is ultimately pointless when you factor in the number of people who have to die to fight it, but that said, what is the point to waging war, any war, that is never completed? America waged a useless, brutal war in Vietnam for a decade that was never finished and certainly never won. But North Vietnamese don’t live on any border of the United States, Hamas is literally on top of the Jews in Israel.

“Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:” Romans 3:28 (KJB)

Joe Biden is attempting to stand by the Jews while at the same time preventing his Far Left pro-Palestinian base from storming the White House in protest, a fate he will likely not avoid given the current hostile climate of antisemitism that’s sweeping the county at the moment. The entire war Israel has waged against Hamas for the better part of a year now will be in vain if Hamas is allowed to remain in Rafah. Saying you support the Jews and then dumping them when they need you the most is not support by any definition.

Joe Biden: The US won’t give Israel offensive weapons to attack in populated parts of Rafah

FROM THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: The interview marked Biden’s toughest public comments yet on the matter, as concern has grown in the administration that Israel is not planning to heed US warnings against a major offensive that the White House feels wouldn’t take into account the million-plus Palestinians sheltering in Gaza’s southernmost city.

“I’ve made it clear to Bibi (Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu) and the war cabinet: They’re not going to get our support if they go into these population centers,” Biden told CNN.

The remarks also appeared to amount to a threat by Biden to make permanent the hold his administration placed last week on a transfer of 2,000- and 500-pound bombs to Israel over concerns that the IDF could use them in densely populated Rafah, as is has in other parts of Gaza.

Asked, “Have those bombs been used to kill civilians in Gaza,” Biden responded that they had. “Civilians have been killed in Gaza as a consequence of those bombs and other ways in which [Israel] goes after population centers,” he said, without elaborating on the strikes in which they were killed.

“I made it clear that if they go into Rafah… I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities, to deal with that problem,” Biden said.

He distinguished, though, between a potential full-on incursion into Rafah and the operation launched by the IDF earlier this week that was limited to the Rafah border crossing, but noted that “it’s causing problems with (bordering) Egypt.”

“But it’s just wrong. We’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells,” Biden asserted.

He clarified that the US will continue supplying Iron Dome missile interceptors and other defensive weapons to ensure that Israel can respond to attacks from adversaries across the region, such as last month’s massive missile and drone barrage from Iran.

“We’re not walking away from Israel’s security. We’re walking away from Israel’s ability to wage war in [populated] areas,” he said.

Asked if Israel has crossed his red line regarding its conduct in Gaza, Biden responded “Not yet,” but indicated Jerusalem was as close as it has ever come following last week’s weapons shipment holdup. Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders have said an offensive in Rafah is necessary to win the war against Hamas, which was triggered by the terror group’s October 7 onslaught. According to Israeli defense officials, four of Hamas’s six remaining battalions are in Rafah, along with members of the terror group’s leadership and a significant number of the hostages it abducted from Israel.
