Say what? As bad as we expected the Antony Blinken Lecture Tour in Jerusalem to be, even I wouldn’t have predicted that a US Secretary of State would have said this to a country victimized by a massive terror attack that killed 1400 people. That is, if Blinken actually told the Israelis that they don’t have enough “credit” to fight Hamas to the finish. The transcript comes from the Times of Israel, which translated it from a Hebrew transcript leaked to Israel’s Channel 12 News. Could something have gotten lost in translation? Perhaps, but it’s not the only eyebrow-raising part of the exchange, either. It begins with Blinken

I would say that these people Blinky is addressing with his defeatist language should reply to Blinky with some of the same words that Elon Musk used yesterday in making things perfectly clear.
Likely the Israelis have been trying not to offend the U.S. and this stupid administration, however it's time for some straight talk in reply to stupidity!!

I wonder if Germany and Japan would have defeated the Allied Powers (USA, Britain, France) if the USA and Britain had not bombed civilian centers during WWII. The term "blockbuster" was coined to describe the devastation caused by the bombing. (Now the same term is used to describe movies.) I suppose the USA will always be made to feel guilty for using the two atom bombs on Japan.

Bibi, if you need advice on how to lose a war in humiliating fashion, the appeasing eunuchs running America would be an excellent source. Battle-softened veterans.

And Blinken doesn’t have the chichones to stand up to the far left. Blinken used up all his credit long ago. You want to be on the losing side, listen to Blinken.

Compare and contrast the hack Blinken with Henry Kissinger. Blinky is a rank amateur at best.

History is littered with the corpses of idiots who tried to tell the Israelis what they, "couldn't do." Dipstick Blinken is a new inductee to that Hall of Ignominy.

Kissinger dated Jill St. John (Bond girl in 1971's Diamonds Are Forever with Sean Connery). Whom did Antony Blinken date? Jill would have stood him up, like America's enemies. Blinken ... get real!

Credit?? .... We are praying every day for Israel to defeat Hamas. One opinion we share here with both Israel and Hamas, and that is, the fight is the Lord's. So we are praying for Israel, also for the innocent Gazans, which is for God to interpret but we are including them. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

It's rather unbecoming of us to impugn anybody else's credit, after having our own rating downgraded and amassing $33T in debt, ourselves.

Blinken is campaigning to be the biggest idiot in the Biteme administration. The competition is stiff. It seems everyone in the administration is in contention for the award.

Biden-Blinkin and all the rest of their crowd have been allowed by God to believe the lie of satan's worldwide islam. They are deluded and demonized and many are possessed. My Bible tells me that Israel will win this developing Ps 83 war and will push their borders way out beyond where they are now. When the islamics play their war card, Israel will win it hands down. Many of these politicians who do not believe in Jesus' power and redemption will endure a long sentence in the Lake of Fire.

FTA: Israel isn’t about to take lessons on defending its citizens from the geniuses that abandoned 14,000 Americans to the Taliban in 2021.“
The US doesn’t have the influence anywhere to impose its will on any country. Joe Biden and his cabal are a joke and everyone knows they are feckless and corrupt. No one in their right mind would listen to advice from Biden. That this administration believes it has the gravitas to give counsel to anyone is a complete joke. The world knows this country is in a death spiral.

The success of Israel as a country is a threat to all muslim centric countries .The west needs/wants useful idiots. The Israelis ( Jews ) produce, invent and innovate in science , medicine and technology and are therefore a threat. One bright light in a sea of barbarism.

Well of course Hamas will never be totally destroyed.
The basis of Hamas hatred is taught to the children of Hamas in their cribs, to totally destroy Hamas the Israelis would have to kill men women and children.
You cannot get rid of lice without killing the nits, and the world simply will not allow that.

Hope Israel has the resources to wipe out the Hamas death cult without US aid. This is proof Biden is still following Obama policies regardless of what the media says. The most disturbing part about this is the threat that Israel cannot survive without US help. Hope Blinken, Biden, and Obama are wrong.
