There has been much banter about 500 to 600 Americans who are currently in Gaza and the need to evacuate them. Let us not pretend. Any American who intentionally took part in Palestinian civilian life in Hamas led Gaza did so knowing they were living within a population controlled by terrorists. It should not be the position of the U.S. government to avert people from the consequences of their adult decisions.
Has anyone ever noticed that when Democrats are in power, the world ends up in perpetual globe-skipping crisis? National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan appears on CBS to discuss the current security risks within Gaza, as the Israelis begin the difficult challenge of wiping out the Hamas terrorists. Both Sullivan and the pearl-clutching Brennan pretend the Palestinian people do not support their terrorist leaders. WATCH (Transcript Below):
[Transcript] MARGARET BRENNAN: We go now to White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan. Jake, I want to get straight to it. This is going to be very brutal urban warfare when Israel moves into Gaza. How much time do you have to get the 500-600 Americans trapped there out?
WHITE HOUSE NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER JAKE SULLIVAN: Well, Margaret, we’re in daily, indeed, hourly contact with our counterparts in the Israeli Defense Forces and security services. And we’re talking to them about their plans for moving in on the ground in Gaza. It’s not for me to say what their timetable is. I think they will need to speak to that. But we are very focused on, first, as you said, making sure that all American citizens in Gaza have safe passage out of Gaza and into Egypt. We’re working on that around the clock, we’re not going to rest until that happens. And second, we’re very focused on making sure that the broader civilian population of Gaza, because the vast majority of Palestinians in Gaza have nothing to do with Hamas, that they can get to safe areas, that they can get access to food, water, medicine, shelter, and that they can be protected from the fighting as it intensifies and as a potential ground operation moves forward.
MARGARET BRENNAN: If any of those Palestinian civilians are permitted to leave Gaza, does the United States have assurances from Israel that they will eventually be allowed to return to their homes? Or will they just become refugees?
SULLIVAN: We are not at the point of discussing the operational details of people, the larger civilian population leaving Gaza. We’re focused right now on getting them to safe areas, not in the north of Gaza, but down in the south of Gaza. In terms of the larger question of whether those who leave can return, the United States has a very simple proposition on this: it’s when people leave their homes in conflict, leave their houses in conflict, they deserve the right to return to those homes- to those houses. And this situation is no different.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The United States deployed a second aircraft carrier to the eastern Mediterranean. I’m wondering if you have new intelligence that shows that the threat from Iran is growing.
SULLIVAN: We don’t have some specific new intelligence that the threat is different today from yesterday. The threat yesterday was real. The threat today is real. There is a risk of an escalation of this conflict, the opening of a second front in the north, and of course of Iran’s involvement- that is a risk. And that’s a risk that we have been mindful of since the start. It’s why the President moves so rapidly and decisively to get an aircraft carrier into the eastern Mediterranean, to get aircraft into the Gulf, because he wants to send a very clear message of deterrence to any state or any actor that would seek to exploit this situation. And he said it best when he spoke last week, in the- in the aftermath of this brutal and vicious terrorist attack to any state that would think about doing this: don’t.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Well, Iran’s foreign minister put out a public statement saying that Iran cannot remain a spectator. What does that mean to you? Are you concerned about proxy forces? Are you concerned that the State of Iran is getting drawn in?
SULLIVAN: Well, first, we are concerned about proxy forces. Lebanese Hezbollah, a proxy force of Iran, is there, a raid on Israel’s northern border with considerable military capacity and a history of attacking the State of Israel. And in fact, we have seen in the last few days skirmishes across that northern border that only enhances the risk of escalation. But of course, we can’t rule out that Iran would choose to get directly engaged some way; we have to prepare for every possible contingency. That’s exactly what the President has done. That is part of what has motivated the President’s movement of these assets, to send that clear message of deterrence to make clear that this war should not escalate, and that no other actor should seek to exploit this situation.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Is there diplomatic outreach to Iran right now?
SULLIVAN: We have means of communicating privately with Iran. And we have availed ourselves of those means over the past few days to make clear privately that which we have said publicly.
MARGARET BRENNAN: When it comes to the Israeli forces moving into Gaza, do you have a definition of success from the Prime Minister?
SULLIVAN: The definition of success ultimately will be the long term safety and security of the Jewish state and the Jewish people. And what that means is their ability to eliminate the threat that Hamas poses to Israel. That is the definition of success that they have set out, that is what they are working for in trying to take out the terror infrastructure in Gaza. They are working through that, as they have said, through the aerial campaign and ultimately they are looking at operations on the ground and otherwise to try to effectuate that outcome.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But there are 2 million Palestinians living there who, as you said, many of whom have absolutely nothing to do with Hamas. So at this point, are you expecting Israeli military forces to occupy that area long-term? Who steps in and governs if Hamas is routed out?
SULLIVAN: These are important long term questions to begin asking and grappling with today. We believe that Israel is grappling with them, we are talking to them about them. I’m not going to share the details of those private conversations. But what I will say is, right now, the focus of the Israeli operation is on that terrorist infrastructure in Gaza. And I’m not going to speak to some of these longer term questions at this time, even as we are grappling with them. I will say, though, that it is absolutely critical, as President Biden said from the very beginning, that we as fellow democracies, the US and Israel, that we embrace the rule of law and the laws of war, and the United States will work with Israel, the United Nations, Egypt, Jordan, and other countries, to do all that we can to ensure the protection of civilians and that those civilians have access to the basic necessities of food and water, of shelter, of medicine. That is a priority of ours, in the hours and days ahead, excuse me, in the hours and days ahead.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And the targeting of that kind of basic infrastructure is potentially a war crime, is it not?
SULLIVAN: Look, I’m not going to react to or comment on every report that we see. There’s a lot of fog of war. What we will say is the protection of civilians and the protection of those people who are trying to get to safety, as well as their ability to access food, water, medicine, shelter, these things should be respected and should very much be a central focus of everyone involved in this, including ourselves, the Israelis, the United Nations, and the regional countries.
MARGARET BRENNAN: The Palestinian Authority, a long time ago, renounced violence. I saw President Biden spoke to Mahmoud Abbas yesterday. Is your expectation that the Palestinian Authority would potentially govern Gaza? And how concerned are you that violence will spread in the West Bank?
SULLIVAN: Look, again, I think you’re asking a very important question about the long term in Gaza. What I will say is this: Gaza being governed by a brutal and vicious terrorist organization, is not just a challenge for the State of Israel. It’s a challenge for the Palestinian people, because Hamas does not represent their highest aspirations. Hamas is not looking out for, caring one iota about their welfare and well being. So the Palestinian people in Gaza do deserve a leadership that allows them to live lives in peace and dignity and security. What that exactly looks like going forward. I’m not in a position to say today, but it is the right question to be asking now, as this unfolds, because we have to think not just about the immediate term, but about the long term too.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Jake, what do Americans need to be bracing themselves for in the coming days?
SULLIVAN: Well, first, the American people have already been through something here not in simply watching this brutality, this barbarism unfold. Of course, that’s nothing compared to what the Israeli people have suffered the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. But the American people are personally affected by this too. And you’ve seen it in the outpouring of grief, of solidarity of sympathy for those innocents who lost their lives. In the days ahead,the American people will, of course, be watching closely to see whether or not this conflict escalates. And the United States government, the Biden administration, our President is doing everything he can to ensure that does not happen, that this conflict is contained to Gaza does not expand beyond that. And that Israel can succeed in rooting out the terrorist infrastructure of Hamas, while the United States works with others to protect the welfare of the innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza.
MARGARET BRENNAN: This is not the only crisis you’re dealing with. There’s still a land war in Europe. You said just a few days ago to congressional leaders that US aid to Ukraine was running dangerously low. That, as there’s a renewed offensive. How close to crisis are we on that front?
SULLIVAN: We can continue to sustain deliveries of critical ammunition for them to defend against that Russian offensive and continue pressing forward in other areas in Ukraine. And you’re right, Margaret, that Russian offensive is very much underway. The Russians are throwing a lot at the Ukrainians in the northeast, in the east, and we need to make sure that we continue rushing necessary military supplies to them. We’re doing that. But we need Congress to act. And the President has made clear that he is going to go to Congress with a package of funding for Ukraine as well as continued support for Israel. You can expect intensive engagement with Congress this very week, as we work on such a package and seek to secure bipartisan support for it.
MARGARET BRENNAN: And that’s a $2 billion package that would bundle Ukraine, Israel, the border, support for Taiwan altogether.
SULLIVAN: Well, the number is going to be significantly higher than that. But it will, as I said, certainly include the necessary military equipment to defend freedom, sovereignty and territorial integrity in Ukraine, and to help Israel defend itself as it fights its terrorist foes.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Jake Sullivan, National Security Adviser to the President. Thank you for your time today.
SULLIVAN: Thanks for having me.
You’d get more credible information by going back and watching some of Baghdad Bob’s Greatest Hits.
Good ol’ lying Jake is looking pretty bad these days…stress, keeping the lies straight and no sleep will do that. This man belongs no where near National Security issues.
BREAKING: FBI Director Christopher Wray Issues Grave Warning of Imminent Terror Attacks on American Soil Amid Israel-Hamas Conflict
They are the terrorists, and we too are ruled by terrorism.
Yeah, he expects an enormous increase in the number of garage door pull rope incidents at NASCAR events.
No cockroaches from Gaza should be allowed to come here.
In the Ellis Island Era, we kept out Moslems, except a relative handful from Iran and Turkey, on grounds they were inimical to American institutions.
Teddy Roosevelt had a blunter term for it. He called not standing up to such people “race suicide.”
And when Teddy said “race,” he meant the American race (whites, blacks, American Indians, Hispanics in America living under American law, customs and traditions).
The book “Ellis Island: When America Did Immigration Right” spells this all out. You can find copies of these for sale on the website howtobeyourowndetective.com. The author wrote this book from the testimony of those who were immigration agents at Ellis Island. Teddy visited Ellis Island in a storm that sunk several other boats that day in New York Harbor. The author, an investigator named Kevin Sherlock, did primary source research at Ellis Island, and at Angel Island, the West Coast immigration station, and had the book peer-reviewed by Ellis Island historians before it went to print. It is beautifully mapped and illustrated also. I bought copies and I became much more knowledgeable of how we did things when real men who loved America ran things.
Here’s an article claiming that there is one cannot be a palestinian any more than a chicken can be a pig, or a man can be a woman.

This is off topic of post
How so? The post is about Palestinians, as is this article.
Yes it is – Apparently BK has reading issues
Nobody likes a tattletale
You have Reading Comprehension problems-
So does the other self – appointed hall monitor.
Philistines, or Canaanites?
More emotional stirring BS propaganda per SOP of MSM driven by the DS/IC.
Yawn
Wait need to change my bib from the total drooling bs I just read. Wait for it; airlifts of terrorists and their family members from Gaza to the US
Well how else can hamas terrorists join up with the ~100K Afghan mujahideen terrorists that Xiden paroled into the USA?
I was shocked that Margaret Brennan didn’t ask Jake
why he declared one week before the Hamas attack,
‘that the Middle East was the calmest it has been in decades.’
the new idiot on NBC Meet the Press did ask him.
Shockingly, he was quite prepared for that q and replied with a word salad of delicate obfuscation and inanity.
<…he replied with a word salad of delicate obfuscation and inanity.>
Obviously…Kamala must have helped him 🙂
VDOTUS Kumswallah Harris must have promised him one of those treatments that will leave him knowing that if he had stuck his wiener into a meat grinder instead of her yap it would have been quicker and less painful.
Birds of a feather cover for each other.
Thank you for reporting the truth.
Good afternoon, Sundance. 🙂
Level Gaza and build some big beautiful golf courses.
Warmongers gonna warmonger.
Off to Gaza with both of these fools. Let them deliver their sage commentary from where the exciting action is taking place.
What about the “war crimes” committed against the Israelites in the first attack? In war, there are no rules. US needs to STOP trying to be the “fair and balanced” police.
“US needs to STOP trying to be the police.”
FIFY
WE have NO authority, moral or otherwise, to tell anyone else how they should live their lives, or govern themselves.
Bring our troops HOME, where they are desperately needed, for “Nation building” as well as securing borders, assuring sovereignity, and “defending Democracy” (lol!).
Amen Dutch.
If they all kill each other, still not my problem. Let God sort ’em out.
Bring our boys home and kick all the illegal aliens, green card holders, and dual nationals out and we will improve the state of our country 10,000 percent in a very short time
And moreover, put PDJT in the Oval, and all of these “hot spots” of strife, chaos and killing, settle down to NOTHING.
Its NOT theoretical, its not hyperboly, the whole World SAW it happen, very quickly from 2016-2020.
Hence, any anger or other emotions I may feel, regarding slaughtered babies or other innocents, my anger, frustration and militance are NOT directed at HAMAS, or Palestinians or even Muslims.
All my feelings are directed NOT at the stupid turtle, stuck on a fencepost, but at the *sshats that PUT them there!
Everyone responsible for installing Obiden in 2020, is awash in the blood of the innocents, from Israel to Ukraine, all of the “Covid deaths” etc….
Uniparty hacks, engaged in one big circle jerk on Capital hill, while millions pour across our border, etc.
And they actually think I give a RATS *SS who they appoint as Speaker, lol.
Was in the bin (the CJ stuff)….:-(
Has any Muslim Leader spoken out against what Hamas just did? If anyone did I must have missed it. The Israel leader was right when he said all the people in Gaza support Hamas.
Imagine being a mother of small children in Palestine. Do you have the gonads to speak out? The freedom we still have here people are afraid to raise Trump flags in their yards!
Walk a step in another mans shoes and you may eventually find the route to peace.
Ask the children what their parents have told them about Jews, Christians or anyone who is not a Muslim. Or just observe how the children of Gaza citizens talk about or to Jewish or Christian children. That will be an almost certain identifier of the inner thoughts of the parents.
Palestine does not exist & while we’re at it…
FrankieZee’s question was quite specific to Muslim Leaders, not mamas in Gaza.
More lies from Obama 3.0!
If the jews continue playing patty-cake with these uncircumcised islamic swine, it will just mean more dead jews. You cannot, and have never been able to, negotiate with people that want you exterminated.
BTW: what percentage of american jews are somewhat sympathetic to the terrorists? I don’t know the answer, but I bet it’s a big number. It should be zero.
Boom
my 93 year old Holocaust survivor neighbor and a 75 year old retired rabbi acquaintance separately both explained to me that you see, i am not sure if you are aware of this, but there is thing called nuance…
i respect my elders too much to do the appropriate and punch them in the face—with nuance, of course.
there is a sickness, especially within much of the ashkenazi non orthodox community—they cannot recognize evil, or understand things at a base and entirely accurate level.
they are, as the yiddish terms say, uberchachems and luftmensch’s.
putzes
That is very unfortunate! My beloved 102 yo Holocaust survivor Mother in Law even now is capable of eviscerating such “logic”. I am not Jewish coming from ancestors going back to the English “Non-Conformists” who fled to have religious freedom.
There has only been one saving grace in all this horror: My daughter has AT LAST had her eyes opened to the hypocracy of all her former DEM friends and cohorts. Talk about a rude awakening…She is in shock ! To my relief she has kicked many to the curb just like I had to when I voted for Trump twice and have defended him.
Many years of prayer for her answered….but TRAGICALLY it took the current horrors in Israel to awaken her.
Unfortunately the horrors there are coming here shortly, and I fear the massive “awakening” on the left will be much too late.
The horrors are already here. Half of people 12 and older have used illicit drugs at least once. That is 50% of the population.
The CIA are biggest drug traffickers in the world. Even Mexican cartels don’t get to sell without their permission.
They have been blinded.
“Nuance” is the favorite non-sense buzzword talking point of the progressive left. Same people that believe morals are relative.
You refer to the Hollywood elite, bankers, and politicians who feast on Bacon sandwiches for breakfast, or cook pork on their cooking shows, or own the porn industry, own the music industry, or dress like porn stars, or sing of the devil while wearing horns, and announcing LGBTQ the norm. Those Ashkenazi? Or do you speak of the founding fathers of Communism?
I’ve always understood that “islamic swine” are circumcised. Are hamas guys not? Or is there a subset of moslems that are not? Or are you referring to women and babies? In that case, isn’t it okay for the jews to play patty-cake with them?
jewish boys get circumcised at 8 days, from bible Isaac story
Ishmael was 13 then, and was snipped at that age
Apparently, currently some Muslim boys get cut at first week or some around 7 year old depending on what part of world etc
“Despite its common practice in Muslim-majority nations, circumcision is considered to be sunnah (tradition) and not required for a life directed by Allah. According to historians of religion and scholars of Religious studies, the Islamic tradition of circumcision was derived from the Pagan practices and rituals of pre-Islamic Arabia, and is never mentioned in the Quran.
Shīʿīte traditions, however, such as those practised in Iran, have the most stringent requirements for male circumcision, since it is seen as a ritual of purification akin to Christian baptism rather than an initiation to adulthood.”
There will be a lot more.
“According to the Jewish Agency, for the year 2017 Israel was home to 6.5 million Jews (49.3% of the world’s Jewish population), while the United States contained 5.3 million (40.2%).”
“Despite its common practice in Muslim-majority nations, circumcision is considered to be sunnah (tradition) and not required for a life directed by Allah. According to historians of religion and scholars of Religious studies, the Islamic tradition of circumcision was derived from the Pagan practices and rituals of pre-Islamic Arabia,[7] and is never mentioned in the Quran.[1][2][4] Shīʿīte traditions, however, such as those practised in Iran, have the most stringent requirements for male circumcision, since it is seen as a ritual of purification akin to Christian baptism rather than an initiation to adulthood”
How about we swap those “Americans” for all the other hostages? Anyone living amongst those animals should have their citizenship revoked. Stay there.
The IDF should not be telling Sullivan their plans as it will be leaked to Hamas. Sullivan’s objective is to protect their Hamas/ terrorist supporters. They probably helped Hamas plan and execute the operation.
CFP has a link to an article about how Hamas pulled off last Saturday’s terrorism/invasion and how much information and intelligence they had about Israel’s military defenses, response times, etc. It’s not known yet (at least they aren’t saying) how they got all that. Anyone willing to take a bet that our enemies don’t have all this on us and we don’t have it on our enemies? There are spies and traitors everywhere, let alone all the information available on the internet.
20,000 gazans given “work permits” to enter Israel is one part of it…
Obama probably has him wired.
Ali Baba and the 40 thieves. The only source for middle east news.
A reasonably prudent and unbiased person would have grave doubts that anyone could exist in present day Gaza and not share the radicalized views of the terrorists. Isn’t Gaza a rather risky place to be?
While Israel is a visited spot, Gaza is not a vacation spot so what are “Americans” doing there?
Are these multiple citizenship persons?
Pictures of these “Americans” might prove instructive.
Would be GOOD to have pics, and bios in order to answer your valid questions.
Are they “duals” or are they “working” for NGO’s, perhaps as agents of $0r0$ by proxie?
In any case, pulling on my emotional strings, in order to manipulate me, will NOT work.
Dead babies, hostages, “innocent” Americans ‘trapped’,…sympathetic, sure.
Enraged and so calling for American troops or $ to intervene? Hell no!
This may sound callous, but I could care less about any US citizens (who are not necessarily Americans) in Gaza.
If you were there when it went down and didn’t immediately leave, screw you.
This reminds me of the 2021 Afghanistan debacle. There was much discussion about Americans and also contractors that could not get out of Kabul.
Americans that have relatives in Gaza, charity/NGO/UN contractors etc … Sometimes the hazard pay is really good if you go to work in a place like Gaza.

No War.
Trump 2024
Sometimes something has to be lost (or stolen in this case) before true appreciation for what was had is reached.
We always appreciated President Trump. We knew what we had…
Now it’s for those who had the luxury of living in a more peaceful time and felt free to spew their bile at him to understand that they as well have suffered as much as the rest of us.
Let’s hope lessons have been learned and such people have come to their senses.
Bring on the mean tweets!!
The Demonrats and other leftists in this whole theater have never understood their own policies will kill them. They also don’t understand we are trying to protect them and everyone from being killed by their own policies.
“They know not what they do.”
And the Communists…aka Democrats…are asking that at least a million of them be imported here, while the RINOs are pretending that a bill they have proposed to forbid it will go anywhere.
My bet is that the Obama administration …oops, sorry…Biden administration has already laid the groundwork for “humanitarian” resettlement of at least a million..and most probably more.
The US did it for all the Somali trash, why not diversify it with Pales**tstainians as well?
Can we place them in Minnesota together and see if they play nice with each other?
While also refusing to house and integrate their guests into the USA.
Used to need sponsors and ability to not be a burden, not a threat, and to aid in assimilating them into citizens and not ship and release the wild and unconstrained foreign invader/sleeper all throughout this nation in attempts to destroy it (treason).
I won’t go through the multi page laundry list my British husband had to go through to get his green card, but believe me it was onerous and intrusive…
Including supplying a police report attesting to his good character from every city or town he ever lived in.
Guarantee none of it will be required from the new “culture enrichers” (as Baron Bodissey at Gates of Vienna has called them).
I also guarantee there will be terrorists, unknown and known, who will waltz right in with intent to perpetrate heinous atrocities. It’s what they do.
I wish MAGA supporters and CTH would quit pretending that republican voters don’t 100% support the GOP clowns they elect to Congress and state offices.
Why is the turd Abbott still in office and not recalled? He let tens of millions of invaders to trample his state.
How did McCain, the Turtle, Lindsay Graham, and thousands of other turds get reelected over and over and over and over again?
For decades, talking heads have been saying the politicians don’t represent the voters that elected them. Maybe they actually do.
MAGA will always be an insurgency in the political landscape (not including Trump who has gravitas).
I do not believe the election was honest.
I do not believe Abbott won by such a large percentage.
The steal seems very high as they NEEDED to have at least 51 or 52% to avoid the runoff with the #AnyOneButAbbott crowd of Allen West, Chad Prather, and Dan Huffines.
Remember, we have electronic voting machines that are fraught with weaknesses and fraud. Every point in the program is a point of exploitation from the printer [qcode] to the scanner ports to the counter, every point is exploitable and then there’s more … lol, like adjudication and no one knowns anything of what was done except the person who determines what that “ballot” votes will or will not be no matter what the voter may or may not have intended.
It’s not within Texas Governor Abbott’s authority to protect our nation’s international border. Article IV, Section 4 of the US constitution guarantees that the federal government shall protect our borders from invasion. Abbott did not “allow” millions of invaders to trample our state. That authority rests squarely on the shoulders of the President of the United States.
I wish MAGA supporters and CTH would quit pretending that elections aren’t rigged.
Sorry, but I’m with Frank on that question. There are more non-rigged election results than the rigged ones IMO. The RINOs truly DO represent and reflect their constituents’ preferences in many, many states. It’s just so juvenile to constantly cry “They cheated!” after every single loss, without having in hand the kind of evidence that can stand up in court. Don’t give me the “courts are all rigged too” nonsense. Adults have to accept they can’t always get their own way. Life on Earth is neither fair nor just. You have to fight within the rules of each situation for every victory. Changing minds isn’t quick or easy.
So. some elections are rigged, and some aren’t. The “winners” are the ones who ultimately get sworn in. Though that may not automatically confer authority or respect, it demonstrates POWER, and you can’t deny or dispel power just by saying you don’t consent. It doesn’t matter how often you squall, “But…but…we really won!”, or “There are more of us!” Buckle down and start working locally on the next contest. Build from the ground up.
Little kids spitting on mangled bodies makes me think otherwise.

Jake Sullivan
Fellow, Dartmouth College
Jake Sullivan is a distinguished fellow at Dartmouth College and a senior fellow at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace. He served in the Obama administration as Director of Policy Planning under Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and subsequently as National Security Adviser to Vice President Joe Biden.
Jello: I’m an alumnus. Thanks for this info. Not sure if Sullivan is still a fellow. Back in 2018, he was. Ugh. I don’t support any of this.
We need SINGLE SUBJECT bills!!!!
We need every member of Congress to sit down and read the bill/s together in chambers all together so they don’t “Have to vote for it to find out what’s inside.”
Anyone misses the reading and they are NOT allowed to vote on the issue.
Let them fight stop stealing our Godam money..They been @ war for 1000s of years they will never stop… Look @ our black cites they are disgrace and we send money to places that are a lost cause why? Money we dont have STOP.
Posting here is a priviledge.
No reason or excuse to curse IF you appreciate civil discourse with others. If you want to curse to the wall in your living room have at it.
Stop pretending. There is no such thing as the “Palestinians”.
Who cares?
We need to focus on THIS country, not anyone else’s.
Correct! “Palestine” and “Palestinians” do not exist and never did.
Then what are they?
Arabs.
Palestine, like much of the Middle East is an artificial construct imposed by Westerners.
“Sullivan” We embrace the rule of law”… sure you do.
Polling seems to suggest that maybe something like a third of Palestinian adults support Hamas. It’s a little hard to tell though. The last time an election was held was almost 18 years ago.
I would submit that by accepting the Palestinian leadership for decades, continuing to live under their control, and identifying as Palestinian, they are at the very least complicit.
You could make the very same argument about America and the numerous crimes committed by the federal government. Do you consider yourself “complicit” for all of the US government’s crimes?
Hmmm, and when Israel told them to flee the area as they are going to get their retribution and kidnapped citizens back and that they left an open gateway out of their targeted area of known HAMAS ….
and HAMAS says stay and they are staying.
They still support HAMAS.
always nice to see Ichabod Crane on the Sunday morning shows, a fitting spokesman for a Brainless Horse/man of a President.
zimbalistjunior: Good one! Brennan is Katrina van Tassel.
The adults are in charge? Why hasn’t this bum been impeached?
Hornets don’t support the hive or the stinging swarms. Fire ants are all independent and most of them will never bite you. The lion pride has no interest in killing. Black people don’t support BLM. Democrats don’t support communism. The German people did not support Hitler. And Antifa is mostly peaceful.
Right.
Why is it the responsibility of the US to take care of Palestinians?
…or Israelis?
The fact that ZERO Muslim countries are willing to accept any Palis**tstainians should be the big WTF reason as to why we accept any of them at all, other than the commie NGO’s get more funding stolen from benefitting US Citizens.
Correction, THE WORLD!
Because the scam of helping and aiding these poor people makes fools think they did something.
But the government and aid is a scam to steal funds before, during, in, out, and after transit and as many other areas they can throughout creating a sucking sound of wealth transfer to the wealthy in the claim of aid as ALL the people get poorer and need more aid.
The War On Poverty has increased the poverty exponentially wiping out the middle class. Where is it? It’s gone.
Another same same scam, the War on Drugs where now the government is in bed with Big Business Pharma and “Indemnifies” them of damages and deaths )which is unconstitutional and treason in the USA and even State Constitutions) while smuggling “illegal” drugs and pushing and profiteering from stock options of their Pharmaceutical companies.
All scams and CONTROL , A win win .
And the War on TERROR
Who’s your biggest terrorist in the USA, it’s the GOVERNMENT!!!
Again!
lol
Don’t forget that we are expected to pay for this war, too.
I see the name Margaret Brennan and know it’s propaganda.
Chatty Cathy “Pull the string, she says 9 different things”……

Sorry, not my fight.
My kin already spilled enough blood overseas for the globalist SOBs.
Remember:
Bring our boys home. All of them.
Love Big and Rich. Knowing now that most of these wars were to enrich the globalist war pigs I feel sick inside seeing these young men being slaughtered for money and power.
Couldn’t help but think that the entire interview was heavily scripted, with both sides reading prepared content. It flowed way too quickly.
Of course it was. Jake stutters too much when off script.
Islam is a religion which brings together worshiping a set of rules (laws…call it what you wish) while demanding it’s religious codes belong within a political reality; as opposed to what the United States Constitution does where the State is separated from religion. There are reasons, serious beliefs and reasons why we in America have this dynamic.
It might begin where a “spiritual leader” tells the flock that “god” has spoken into his ear and commanded such and such be done. The Reverend Jim Jones, as an example, did such to his flock where Kool Aid was consumed, after which about 900 people, including young children, all died from the poison mixed with the Kool Aid. Off to the promised land they went…maybe!
Then again, politically, when an Obama comes into town– gifted with serious rhetorical skills, sophistry make take center stage where those who hear such sweet phrases, drop to their knees in worship and ask for their marching orders.
Had our education system stuck with teaching Western Civilization these past 50 plus years, we might have been able to see through such efforts. (Don’t leave out the Clintons with their bamboozle efforts via language…”depends what is is” Aristotle.) High school students and especially college people could easily learn the thoughts of the great thinkers in Greece, etc.
However, we are where we are and reality won’t wait for us to catch up. Turkey’s leader is a muslim, he brings religious teachings all the time to justify his decisions…he does not think nor believe in Western Civilization teachings even when his country is dotted with Greek efforts of years past. His NATO membership only works for him, his Allah will whisper soon that those Jews must be stopped, count on it!
So when you look deep into Sullivan’s eyes and watch his facial expressions think how he might go with sophistry’s tools to fool you and others.
Enter your common sense which is built upon your observations of…get ready…the laws of Mother Nature and the Jungle! Go to the Serengeti on YouTube to refresh what’s what in the animal world while you remember we too are animals.
As animals, where does Hamas belong, which animal do they remind you of? Sundance sees Trump as a Lion, where he has defined reasons he shares with all of us!.
How do you see Sullivan? Get my drift in thinking? Look beyond the words you hear, see the person who is talking–up close and personal. Leave Obama for last…thinking who the Devil might whisper to! Of course there are others.
But this is me with my opinions. Which brings us back to the USA, one man one vote, the majority rules!
Election integrity is so very important; know the team who denies it, for they are your enemy for sure!
Palestinian Cognitive Dissonance:
The Reasons for Unacknowledged Support for Hamas by Palestinians
Acknowledging support for Hamas could have uncomfortable or unfavorable implications given Hamas’ designation as a terrorist organization by many countries. It could challenge existing narratives and demand a reevaluation of policies and strategies regarding Palestine. By acknowledgment of Hamas’ support by the Palestinians the delicate balance of international relations might be disrupted, leading to a preference for maintaining a narrative that is more palatable on the global stage.
And it boils down that economic interests might be jeopardized if the level of support for Hamas is acknowledged, leading to a tendency to avoid confronting this reality.
So when the Palestinians celebrate excessively in the streets after Hamas murders innocent Israeli civilians including children and babies they don’t really mean it? Who knew? I guess Jake Sullivan!
Remember when:
Biden seeking $40B in emergency funds for Ukraine, disaster relief
That total includes $13 billion in military aid to Ukraine, as well as billions of dollars more in funding to replenish a dwindling pot of federal disaster relief, according to two people with direct knowledge of the request.
So now…
Biden to Push Israel, Ukraine Aid Package Well Over $2 Billion This Week
FJB F any member of Congress that gives it to him. Fuck Ukraine the most corrupt country next to America in the world. Fuck American politician and all that support them. Crkli da Bog da.
Was in the bin….(F-word)….:-(
Ukraine said they need $48 billion, to be able to make payroll, thru 2024.
Thats not “war effort” thats just to pay their buerocrats.
In a country where the average per capita income was under $4000 in 2020. Must be Bidenflation and the majority of the population functioning overtime for the government.
We could have had the most secure border in the history of the world with the billions given to other countries!
They have been utterly given over to their reprobate minds .
His answer to “what do Americans need to be bracing themselves for in the coming days?” is ludicrous, stupid, and hysterical, to say the least.
Jake, baby, let me help you here. We need to be ready for violence and terrorism in the United States, whether home grown or brought to you by both the people who have illegally entered the country and the buffoons in power who let that happen. That means, arm up, stock up, be aware of what is happening and be prepared to take whatever action is necessary to defend ourselves, oir families, our communities and our country since, you know, you progressives are unwilling to do so.
It just occurs to me,…
Imported islamist sleepers activate and begin a terrorist attack, maybe similar to Mumbai.
Armed Citisens respond as “first responders” and begin engaging in “fire fights” with the terrorists.
LE responds, to calls of terrorists with guns, shooting people.
LE can’t tell the terrorists, from the Patriots,…hmmm.
Progressives is too kind of a word. I just call them communists!
What a sleep deprived, moronic, morally and ethically challenged, lying pos Sullivan is.
Notable that Margaret lists Ukraine, Israel, the border, support for Taiwan altogether in the $2 billion ‘bundle’. Yet Jake says he’ll need significantly more than $2 billion, to help Ukraine and Israel. He couldn’t even mention that some money would be spent to secure our southern border!!!!! I don’t believe they care about the American hostages either. It’s probably just a way to get us totally involved.
The U.S. Govt. will gleefully exploit the hostages, more even than HAMAS.
So everything’s normal, nothing to see here……
If they live there, they most likely are sympathizers.
Liberal globalists strike again. They have to pretend that Palestinian lives matter because the leaders of our Arab allies – here’s looking at you Saudi Arabia – have to pretend that Palestinian lives matter so that their people’s very real concerns about the plight of the Palestinians is validated and reflected back. Think of it as Arab “chaff and countermeasures” – with a cynical assist from Team Obama-Biden.
The underlying reality is that the military regime in Egypt and the Gulf Arab monarchies – minus Qatar – oppose Sunni Islamist movements and always will because those movements pose a direct and lasting threat to their hold on power.
It’s like in Germany when they first started telling them they could not walk on the sidewalk but rather in the gutter. Germans were okay with it or it wouldn’t have been allowed to go on.
“It should not be the position of the U.S. Govt. to avert (shield or protect) people from the consequences of their adult decisions.”
WOULD that this policy position was adopted, and far more broadly than just regarding living in GAZA.
Internationally, Ukraine and NATO, “poking the bear” for instance.
Living in high risk zones, such as hurricane, tornado or forest fire areas, without embracing proven technologies appropriate for such zones.
The list is long,…
I will never forget 1,000s of Palestinians coming out into the streets to celebrate the attacks of 9/11. They only piped down when Yassar Arafat put out a statement telling them to stop and used his security forces to stamp down the celebrations.
Hamas has far higher support in Gaza than the Democrat Party has in the USA.
(BTW, it was Bush’s Secretary of State, Condi Rice, who pressured Israel into holding elections in Gaza that gave Hamas power.)
