Two Face Biden

Without ‘directly pressure’ to Netanyahu, Netanyahu feels he’s got OK for everything genocidal to Palestine.

DC and Dearborn 4.19pm / Jerusalem - Gaza Strip - Tel Aviv 11.19pm / Berlin 10.19pm / London 9.19pm [350 hours of war, still continue] BREAKING NEWS live update trilingual [hebrew - arabic - english] click here. More than 5,000 Palestine in Gaza alone killed [1,700 children] by Israel. Maybe 6,000 because still a lot of victims under the rubbles.

Plestia Alaqad, Palestinian, Gazan, beg to you

Just this week former President Trump promised to deport anti-American students if elected again. And, he did the Muslim Ban, and he still got 35 percent muslim voters in 2020, year after Muslim Ban. And Trump moved the embassy to Jerusalem, with recognized by Netanyahu [Trump is] ‘best friend ever for Israeli’. And 'I will never vote Biden' looms. Some Muslim Americans in a key swing state feel betrayed by the president Biden decision.

Biden seems ‘gambling’ to using card, ‘mind games’ that Arab American and Muslim American will leaning to him again because Trump himself said ‘muslim ban 2.0’ so Biden choose to ‘put himself as hawkish’ for Israel narrative. As since Oct 7t Biden put himself as hawkish, indirect signal from DC put Tel Aviv enjoy with long-term plan, as several Israeli confirming ‘minimum 10 years of war to ethnic cleansing entire Palestine.’

Or, the ‘hawkish’ Biden is a result of his temper finally blew up because no longer patience about Saudi - Israel normalization, which Saudi Crown Prince MbS [Mohammed bin Salman] intentionally and repeatedly giving a sour commentary about progress of normalization. Hamas attack just catharsis, fuel to fire, for Biden’s temper. Biden seems don’t care anymore for Muslim America and Arab America because he’s losing temper to MbS, and Palestine - Israel just fueling it.

Hate and discrimination towards Arabs and Muslims is worse now than it was right after 9/11. The hate and discrimination post-9/11 was spontaneous. The hate and discrimination now is systemic and planned out, orchestrated by media, and much more sophisticated. The next few months are going to be a challenge, but we are prepared and ready to fight back. The potential [rocketed] Islamophobia looms after Detroit Synagogue President get stabbed until death. A Palestinian - American 6-year-old got stabbed 26 times, settle a score with Jewish 40-year-old got stabbed too.

The lesser of two evils choice has put America on the brink of a wider regional war. And is asking for $60B for Ukraine. How much longer before we hear of the need for military intervention somewhere in Africa? Like an hour after massacring patients at the Baptist hospital, Israel officially requested an stunning US$10 billion from Biden. Biden has responded by upping it to US$14 billion (much of which will go right back to US weapons manufacturers).

Don’t know ‘two face’ Biden will work prudently or not in November 2024. And don’t know if MbS, at least reflected with ‘rare’ wording ‘heinous’ to Israel after barbaric bombing in AL - AHLI / BAPTIS Hospital, also put himself to be hawkish. Wider war in the region is very vulgar by global optics. Some people or analysts even said MbS try to ‘harsher’ rather than King Faisal in 1970s.

Biden is taking a dual-track approach to the Gaza crisis — standing staunchly beside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in public while trying to hold him back in private. The U.S. supports Israel but doesn't want to get drawn into another large or protracted military operation in the Middle East. Threading that needle is the Biden administration's biggest challenge right now.

Biden set the tone for the U.S. response in his Oct. 10 speech, when he compared Hamas to ISIS. The speech was aired during prime time in Israel, and it was one of the most-watched TV events in Israel's history.

It was well-received among both Israeli political leaders and the Israeli public, giving Biden credibility at the beginning of the crisis. "If you like Biden or hate Biden you could not complain about his commitment to Israel," Tom Nides said, former US ambassador for Israel, explained.

Biden has used that credibility delicately. He and Netanyahu have a fraught history, but during their calls — which happen almost every day — Biden has avoided directly pressuring the prime minister. Instead, he has asked questions — a gentler way to raise the same concerns. Without ‘directly pressure’ to Netanyahu, Netanyahu feels he’s got OK for everything genocidal to Palestine.

Some 20 trucks carrying humanitarian aid [without fuel] crossed into Gaza today after Biden successfully lobbied Egypt and Israel to agree to allow in aid during his visit to Israel.

One of Biden's main goals is to prevent the Gaza conflict from turning into a regional war, which will very cost for everything, after prolonged war Russia - Ukraine. Sending aircraft carriers to the region is part of that effort, as are the messages the U.S. has sent to Iran and Hezbollah. US deficit, pegged at USD1.7 trillion, effectively doubled in 2023. Imagine if 10 wars Palestine - Israel, as signaled [potential 10 years duration] by Israeli official.

Biden has also asked Netanyahu several times how he plans to avoid an escalation that would push Hezbollah into the war. Biden said he asked Netanyahu and other Israeli officials about alternatives to a ground invasion of Gaza and whether they had a plan for what to do in Gaza after dismantling Hamas. They told him they do not have one yet.

"Biden tried from a position of love and friendship to tell the Israelis, 'Think long term and don't make the same mistakes we made after 9/11," a U.S. official in anonymity. Biden took this strategy to the next level with his trip to Israel.

The visit was an unprecedented show of support on the ground in time of war — and gave Biden an opportunity to engage privately with the Israelis to get them to take steps the U.S. wanted. Israeli and U.S. officials said both Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken told the Israelis that it is in Israel's interest to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Doing so would help maintain international support for Israel's operation against Hamas, they said. The Israelis agreed.

Biden himself is the driving force behind much of this strategy,

Biden’s Oct. 10 speech "was all Joe Biden," according to a source familiar with the speech-writing process, who said Biden shot down aides' attempts to water down the language or balance the messages, even after Biden read himself about angry from Muslim America and Arab America no longer vote him anymore. And many people on the president's team didn't want him to go to Israel, but he decided to do it, Biden told reporters on Air Force One.

Biden is dusting off the same playbook he used to broker a ceasefire in 11 days during the May 2021 Gaza war, famous with Biden get gaggled by Rashida Harbi Tlaib in airport.

But this time the public-private strategy will take more time to play out. Top Biden advisers know there won't be a ceasefire anytime soon. And they aren't pushing for one. The immediate goal is to influence Israel's moves on the ground.

Biden won't be able to stop the war, but he is likely going to continue to use his popularity and credibility among Israelis to influence its path.

"There is a reason there are posters of Joe Biden all over Israel. Biden managed to capture the moral high ground when it comes to the Israeli people and the Jewish community in the U.S., and he will use it as he sees fit," Nides said.
