'I am not a Jew with trembling knees'

Why should I care? I'm an American first. American First!

North or South American?

Supporting defensive campaigns is one thing, supporting an offense is something else entirely.

Israel did not attack Hamas. Hamas attacked Israel.
Hamas killed more than 1000 Israelis and a few others in the October 7 attack.
The Hamas' invasion killed Jews in the most unimaginable cruel and horrible ways they could think of
Hamas continues to hold more than 100 hostages
Hamas has pledged many many October 7ths against the Israelis until they are all killed are driven out and Israel is no more--from the River to the Sea.

If this is not a defensive campaign on the part of Israel, I cannot imagine how a defensive campaign could be described.

'Above one of the classroom whiteboards in the Jewish day school I attended as a child hung a poster featuring the face of former Israeli prime minister Menachem Begin alongside a quote: “I’m not a Jew with trembling knees.”

I would be tempted to say that our present circumstances call for a proud Jew to tell that to Joe Biden, but the fact is that he’s already been told — by Begin himself. In 1982, at a closed-door meeting of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Biden had threatened Begin with cutting off military aid for Israel’s offensive campaign in Lebanon. As Tevi Troy noted in the Wall Street Journal, the story went that Begin responded in fiery outrage:​

Forty-two years later, Joe Biden has learned nothing.
But we have learned who Joe Biden truly is. That he is doing exactly what he threatened Begin with over four decades ago suggests that Biden’s actions in pledging to withhold weaponry for an Israeli offensive into Rafah, however surprising they might seem to some, are drawn from a long-standing outlook toward Israel. In other words, Biden threatening to cut off aid to the Jewish state if it takes measures against its enemies is a feature, rather than a bug, of his decades-old policy.
Menachem Begin saw clearly. We can’t say we weren’t warned.

Biden has learned nothing from the Israeli prime minister’s warning against cutting off military aid.

That was a great OP.

Prime Minister Begin's words were great.

That is so true: No one came to the rescue of the Jewish people when those Nazis in Germany were throwing Jewish people into concentration camps. (The New York Times at that time even downplayed the persecution of the Jewish people in Germany, lest Americans become angry with the Jewish owner of that newspaper.)

A lot of people (including me) feel that the people in Gaza have suffered enough misery, but if Israel wants to invade Rafah, then the United States should refrain from giving orders to Israel.

The Jewish people are going to do what they feel is necessary for their survival, and if anyone does not like it, well ...

All countries receiving our aid need to know their place. A primary responsibility of the President is not to take any crap from these parasites.

Golda Meir had a very accurate saying: “People like us only when we are to be pitied [after an antisemitic attack]; when we fight back, they hate us.”

Golda also said there'd be peace in the region when Arab moms loved their kids more than they hated Jews (paraphrasing). She was right -- at one time. But then the rabid folks took over and assassinated a peacemakers -- Anwar Sadat & Yitzhak Rabin

Now there are two groups who are so full of hate, and now they want to drag us all into their shit storms. Fuck em. Fuck em all.

Not one American life is worth getting involved.

good gawd, playing that card again? No one in America is going after Jews.

You're about to get reported

Why doesn't Israel have the right to defend itself from a terrorist attack and go after the perpetuators?

Never said they did not.

Jew haters hate Israel also...that is their nature...always hating what is good and decent whilst supporting rapists and hostage takers.

You might want to email your heroes at Columbia.

College idiots calling for ‘Intifada’ have no idea how many innocents have died from that word

So although youth and ignorance aren’t any real excuse, perhaps I can educate these students about what they are actually calling for.

Save your infantle BS, at least try and stay on topic without middle school bs.

One more time you flame that's it

Ridiculous.

How does a nation fight back without going on the offensive?

Israel is fighting for its very existence against a ruthless, savage enemy sworn to its destruction. The offensive campaign was carried out on October 7th, by the MUSLIMS, and the antisemitic liberals are trying to twist this all around to make Israel appear to be the bad guy.

The world has paid a heavy price for the machinations on Election Day, and the few days before and after, to install Biden instead of Trump. None of this would have happened.

Yeah, the Dainty. Some people in America ARE going after the Jews.

Wake up. And maybe try giving some thought to shutting up.

Seems this proves Biden was right about the Zionist Entity. They are happy to drag us into their wars.

Eventually, Israel left Lebanon, and the US had to step in to try to keep it from collapsing into chaos. That resulted in the Barracks bombing of 1983.

Here's the better question... why do we let the leader of a pipsqueak country come in and dictate to our leaders?

unless its trump,,
he should ne impeached,,

• Adolf Hitler: “The Jew was only and always a parasite in the body of other peoples….The Jews are a people under whose parasitism the whole of honest humanity is suffering” (in Mein Kampf).

What's your point?

• If you believe Trump should have been impeached, that's your view, not mine.
• If you want to be a devotee of Hitler, that's your business which I want no part of.

Pertaining to the matter at hand, my attitude is beggars can't be choosers. This situation strikes me the same as those countries refusing to take back their people who illegally entered America: not a dime more for them from our treasury.

It’s so cute when leftist Jew haters use the Zionist Entity™ slogan. It reinforces a host of negative stereotypes about the Dem. / Socialist Entity.

Why do Dems / Socialists heap boatloads of money on Islamic terrorists by funding UNRWA and building port facilities to assist Hamas?
