US President Biden Says Hamas Must Be Eliminated

 

CNBC: Biden says Hamas must be eliminated entirely, but ‘there must be a path to a Palestinian state’ 

 * President Joe Biden said that the Palestinian militant group Hamas needs to be fully neutralized, but that Palestinian independence is necessary.

 * Last weekend, Hamas executed a deadly attack that killed 1,400 people in Israel, triggering a violent war in the region where many civilians have been caught in the crossfire. 

 * The U.S. is a major ally of Israel but has also endorsed a two-state solution, though presidents have negotiated that resolution with varying degrees of success. 

President Joe Biden said in an interview aired on Sunday that he believes Hamas, the Palestinian militant group, must be fully eliminated and that it is necessary to establish a Palestinian state. 

 “There needs to be a Palestinian Authority. There needs to be a path to a Palestinian state,” Biden said in an interview taped Thursday for CBS’ “60 Minutes,” which aired Sunday evening. 

Historically, the U.S. has been one of Israel’s biggest allies, though it has also endorsed a two-state solution, which would create a separate Palestinian state next to Israel. For decades, the two parties have struggled to coexist due, in part, to an overlapping claim over the holy city of Jerusalem, which both Palestinians and Israelis see as their capital. U.S. presidents have tried to negotiate a two-state solution in the Middle East with varying degrees of efficacy.

Eliminated! Great. Will this elimination of Hamas happen before or after Biden pays $millions to them for the release of US hostages.

Joe can thank the smart people who replaced the secular PLO with the religious fanatic of Hamas. Is Joe going to put the PLO back in Power?

Professor Mearsheimer provides a brief history of Hamas, its evolution from the Islamic Brotherhood, and how some Israeli factions viewed Hamas as a useful entity to undermine the two-state solution approach favored by the Palestinian Authority.

Mearsheimer also says that, as with Golda Meir after the 1973 intelligence failure, Netanyahu's political career is likely doomed.

If you believe that, I’ve got $6B sitting in a Qatari bank that I’ll wager it’s not canceled. ;)

I have learned on good authority that 60 Minutes had a terrible time editing out Biden's many farts during the taping of 60 Minutes, and one production assistant swore to me that Biden shat himself during the show. Time-out was called while President Biden and his Press Secretary went to unload his adult diaper that he now wears. His Press Secretary re-diapered Joe and he gamely returned to the interview after first asking to meat the children of the show's production staff. Nobody obliged, so Biden was forced to to sniff some nearby girl's bicycle seats instead. This is the leader of the free world everyone! Democrat voters voted this man into power and everyone is paying the price.
