Update at the end
John Kirby’s press conference to inform people of the attack on Israel drew a moral equivalence between Gazan Palestinians and massacred Israelis. He said Palestinians are “victims too.” Does he mean the Palestinians who voted Hamas into power or the other fake Palestinians spread out throughout the world? We don’t know, but we do know the Palestinian problem is a scam.
There are likely innocent victims in Gaza, certainly the children, but there is no equivalence, and Kirby’s comments were typically ill-timed.
He’s up at the podium telling the audience he doesn’t want Gaza bombed.

There will be no airlift for Americans in Israel. He said they can take commercial flights (there aren’t any US flights available), and he said if Americans choose to “live in a place where bad things happen”… The US government is doing exactly what they did in Afghanistan, but they really care about Palestinian Hamas.
“We’re telling civilians to find their way across a border in a warzone! … Why is it that we’ve found ourselves in that position so many times!?”

The Biden Administration is already botching American evacuations in Israel.
Other countries have already gotten their people out.
This is Afghanistan 2.0.

He’s angry that people say we helped fund them by giving Iran billions. We gave Iran $6 billion which is held by Qatar, $10 billion which Iraq is holding, and we released Iran from sanctions so they can sell two million barrels of oil a day to China. That’s worth about $50 billion, and we all know Iran was behind the attack. We also give the Palestinian Authority and Fatah money, and they, too want Israel gone. [Update below]
BREAKING: White House’s John Kirby outraged many Americans continue to blame Biden for making $6 billion available for Iran, says the money has not been accessed and it’s not going to the Iranian regime but to some vendors to be used only for humanitarian purposes, says Biden did… pic.twitter.com/gHSK4Mn532

Update: NBC News said the US and Qatar have agreed to not release the money to Iran. They’re playing games. The $10 billion Biden gave Iran that Iraq holds is ignored and the sanctions are still removed so Iran can sell two million bpd every day to China and all that is worth billions. It’s enough to create terrorism around the world.
As long as Americans continue to take the evil, lunatic Left seriously, this stuff will never end. Oh yeah, and Kirby is a disgraceful moron. FJB.
I have a (distant) family member who lives in Texas and works for a high-tech firm in Tel Aviv. A couple of times a year, he flies to Israel for business purposes; he was in Israel when the Palestinian attack occurred, and his employer said it would pay for his plane fare home, or pay for a hotel if he wanted to stay a while. Latest update from his wife said he should be in San Francisco sometime later this evening. He had to fly out of Dubai, so he will have circumnavigated the globe in a week by the time his plane lands — and his employer owns the plane and the pilot, so the 16-hour flight will be first-class all the way. Needless to say, it’s not the way his business trip was supposed to end, but at least he got out safely. Praise God.
Speaking of who does or does not support Hamas…
” … This is not Kabul or Tehran – This is London.
Muslim women were filmed ripping down photos and signs of missing Israelis following Saturday’s Hamas massacre of Jews.
They support the massacre. …”

Illegals fly for free, the Biden administration uses your tax dollars for that.
but Americans escaping from a war zone must pay for their plane ticket.( details at the link )
The message is clear; Democrats value illegals more than Americans ( our Canadian liberal government is just as awful )

ZAKA recounts what he saw. It’s not easy for those like him to keep on.

About the $ 6 billion
if you put100 dollars in someone,s left hand that you know may use it for drugs and you tell them to not use it for drugs, to ONLY use it for food.
they can now use the OTHER 100 bill that was already in their right hand to buy drugs and use the 100 you gave them – in their left hand – to buy food and then show you the receipt.
the receipt falsely makes you believe they did the right thing
the 100 bill in their left hand was used for food and the 100 bill in their right hand was used for drugs
your giving them that 100 and making them promise changed nothing, they still bought 100 dollars of drugs
Iran have their own Billions of dollars already in their right hand………
making them promise to use the 6 billion in their left hand for good things only makes it easier for them to use the 6 Billion in their right hand to buy weapons and finance terrorists.
Yeah…Biden is full of shite. HE financed the Hamas attack and made it possible.
The press has begun to pull Israel off the Palestinians as they have every other time in the past.
basically democrats are saying
” …lets be lenient, full of compassion and very soft on terrorists who murdered many hundreds of innocent civilians,
but let s be heartless, and let s give , harsh, cruel and unusual sentences to Trump supporters for having simply walked into an already open building…”
and in the same breath they tell us with a straight face
” …everyone is equal under the law…”
I wouldn’t have been so nice and put up with his mouth dripping Jew-hatred. I’d have said, Look you stupid bastard, You bombed innocent Afghans. Throw it up in his face.

How the Biden administration sold Israel down the river with Hezbollah.

No, they are not. At best they’re passive enablers of genocidal sociopaths. At worst they’re active supporters of those sociopaths. They deserve nothing but to be exiled to some distant and inhospitable place. Pluto comes to mind.
Every time Hamas kills someone the streets of Palestine are full of thousands of people celebrating,
I know it does not mean every Palestinian is pro-Hamas but it seems most are, even lots of women.
This is the WEF O’Biden-Soros Administrations way of pleasing the Palestinians and Iran. The DC two step!
Yes there are a significant number of victims in Gaza, people living in poverty under tyrannical rule. The Egyptians closing the border increases their victimhood.
But as Greg has so well shown inn his comment, faced with an unscrupulous enemy, there is no choice but to take action to utterly destroy that enemy, and enemy whose “soldiers” think nothing of trying to use their own people as human shields. But accepting victimhood and not trying to break the cycle brings no relief.
40 years ago a very good neighbour of mine was a Palestinian from Gaza. He moved his family to Chicagoland and developed a very successful business. He told me he left to get away from the crazies. He showed others how to escape.
Poverty in Palestine in mainly caused by Hamas

I sure get fed up with ignorant reporters, and even more so leaders, when it comes to the ‘laws of war’. There are different guidelines depending on the situation. This simple statement should be enough.
The presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations.
