/Snip, from “Why Biden is Saving Hamas”:
Reports are circulating that the Israelis are planning an operation in Rafah to eliminate the last Hamas stronghold in Gaza. If so, the Netanyahu government will be acting against the very public wishes of the Biden administration, which has spent the last half year moving heaven and earth to save a terrorist organization from destruction. Bizarrely, the White House's statements and actions show that Hamas' survival is more important than the security of a traditional American partner, Israel; more crucial to American interests than the preservation of the U.S.-led order of the Middle East; more precious than the dozens of American lives that Hamas ended on Oct. 7; more valuable than however many Americans and Israelis are still alive in the terror army's tunnels.Why? As the money and prestige that the U.S. has invested month after month in protecting Hamas demonstrate, the Biden administration sees the terror group as a valuable asset.
There are explanations in the article. I’m not sure about them all, but it’s surely been a head-scratcher why Biden & Co have stopped Israel in their tracks, when they were on the verge of winning the war. That is, of killing all the top-level Hamas leaders. Stopped them. And continue to stop them. Crazy.
