As a Salvadoran with Palestinian ancestry, I'm sure the best thing that could happen to the Palestinian people is for Hamas to completely disappear.
Those savage beasts do not represent the Palestinians.
Anyone who supports the Palestinian cause would make a great mistake siding with those criminals.
It would be like if Salvadorans would have sided with MS13 terrorists, just because we share ancestors or nationality.
The best thing that happened to us as a nation was to get rid of those rapists and murderers, and let the good people thrive.
Palestinians should do the same: get rid of those animals and let the good people thrive.
That's the only way forward.
@IlhanMN Stop. Just stop. The people you support have attacked, raped, murdered and kidnapped civilians of Israel and other countries! Committed atrocities! Shown that they care so little for their Palestinian brethren that they use their own civilians as shields. Go to Hell!
Step 1: Biden admin releases $6 billion to a country that chants death to America
Step 2: That country funds terrorist groups
Step 3: Our main ally in the Middle East is attacked by those terrorist groups
Step 4: Biden admin says they are shocked and outraged

Israel, Our White-House Absurdities, and the Left’s Empire of Lies
The Biden administration is furiously trying to contextualize its past, unsupportable policies that have sown global chaos, especially in the Middle East. But the more it spins, the clearer its culpability.
Does it really believe that the long-agreed-upon U.S. green-lighting of $6 billion in sanctions relief to Iran has had no role in Iran’s terrorist support of Hamas, whether psychological or material or both? Do they think we are that stupid?
Even a first-grader might surmise that if a terrorist state knows that an impending $6-billion bonanza will shortly arrive in its coffers, then it will more readily in the here and now send arms to Hamas—on the logical assumption that those costs soon will be more than covered, while making the additional assumption that the United States is complicit in its own fungible use of sanctions relief cash, and thus not innately hostile to Tehran’s self-professed agenda. In short, Tony Blinken is either a naif, a fool, or to use his words “misinforming”.
These administration's megaphones who deny such fungibility always end up mouthing the same arguments as the lying and murderous theocracy in Tehran.
But then why not—given the Biden-appointed Robert Malley, previously known as Obama’s ISIS advisor (and we remember how that worked out in Iraq), and a self-declared expert on Hamas rapprochement, eagerly accepted the offer to restart the disastrous Iran deal and normalize Iranian-American relations?
And Malley was indeed eagerly at work—until he was stripped of his security clearance for his alleged unlawful dissemination of classified documents, and in addition fell under further scrutiny allegedly for treasonous efforts to insert pro-Iranian activists into the State Department.
What also was behind the initial, natural instincts of the State Department’s “U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs”? On news of the attacks, our State department in Pavlovian fashion immediately posted: “We urged all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing.”
Yes, as lots of us predicted, that insane virtue signal would eventually be taken down—but only in response to Americans outraged at its amoral inanity.
Was our government’s first inclination to stop Israel’s counter-responses to systematic Hamas murdering? Should Israelis accept another 800, 1,000, or 2,000 dead women and children in the interest of abiding by the instruction of the American “Office of Palestinian Affairs” to avoid “retaliatory attacks”?
For that matter, does the Biden administration admonish Ukraine to refrain from “retaliatory attacks”—since, in its logic, responding to Putin’s “terror” with Ukrainian counter “violence” would “solve nothing”?
Or is it just Israel, a democratic ally, that deserves these sermons?
Or do they not reflect the embarrassing reality that there is a core Democratic base—the toxic Squad, AOC's Democratic Socialists, the fusion media, and some of the identity politics caucuses—who are Hamas apologists, even if that bankrupt ideology descends into ignoring or condoning the abject slaughter of civilians in their homes?
And are we really to believe, as told, that resumption of hundreds of millions dollars in aid to the Palestinians was also not fungible and used to aid the current murderous agendas of Hamas?
But do not just believe supporters of Israel about that reality.
Instead, read what dissidents in the State Department themselves warned at the time of the dangers of Biden’s resumption of aid to the radical Palestinians: “We assess there is a high risk Hamas could potentially derive indirect, unintentional benefit from U.S. assistance to Gaza. There is less but still some risk U.S. assistance would benefit other designated groups.”
The administration is, of course, back peddling furiously, given its prior appeasement of Iran and Hamas, if not an outright tilt against Israel—again policies that reflected the embarrassing core constituency of the Democratic Party.
Americans should not listen to what Biden’s team now conveniently says, but instead to what it actually does in the upcoming weeks when it is under fire by its base in the new woke Democratic Party, as the Israelis have to go into Gaza, end this toxic death machine, and confront the Hamas global propaganda machine.
A hard rain is soon going to fall abroad.
And the United States better get its house in order, whether defined as standing with its few dependable allies left, securing its own oil and gas supplies, protecting its borders, un-woking and rebooting its suspect military, recalibrating its all too often incompetent and politicized intelligence bureaus—and thus preparing for a world turned upside down.
With war breaking out in the Middle East, it's good to know we have a full strategic oil reserve in case fuel becomes an issue...oh wait...My mistake, Biden drained it so he could lower gas prices for the midterms. Carry on.
@TheBuffaloNews Perhaps that money would be better spent on services to at risk youth, teaching resume writing to young adults, sponsoring sports or tech clubs for inner city youth, or something similar?
Those would truly be monuments to the lost without becoming a centerpoint for division.
@Liz_Wheeler It's not the issues, it's the very public infighting that makes the GOP look like a bunch of mean girls.
Argue in private, present a united front to the public.
Goetz probably just guaranteed a Blue wave.
@ChuckCallesto Fight behind closed doors because right now they look line whiny little b's and so does the GOP.
And @RepMattGaetz is looking like Chris Christie lite with his hatred of McCarthy mirroring Christie's hatred of Trump.
I'll be switching to Independent after this S Show!
@ACTBrigitte The key would be to fight behind closed doors and come to an agreement, even if both sides had to compromise. Then, bring a united front of GOP out to the American public.
Now, the GOP looks like a bunch of mean girls fighting over the new hot guy.
It's a really bad look.
