Even before the IDF’s ground invasion of Gaza, the Biden administration gas lighted Israel into using the rules of war that no one, not even the US military uses when fighting Jihadists or any enemy.
Israel was prevented from unleashing its full fire power on Hamas from the air, which allowed the Gazan enemy to prepare accordingly. While Israel was allowed to use artillery in the beginning - it has since been discontinued due to the Biden administration’s continued threats. The most concerning of them is the potential discontinuation of a resupply of weapons and munitions to Israel.
The Biden administration has continued to insist that only enemy combatants that have clear identifications be targeted. As everyone knows, Gazans from all age groups and including females work on behalf of Hamas, actively aiding its war effort against Israel. The most glaring example is that Hamas uses female Gazans as scouts or lookouts, letting them know when IDF soldiers are nearby so the Hamas fighters can either ambush them or set off a detonated device.
No other military in the world, including the US military would consider these women or even teenage boys who work for Hamas in this capacity as non-combatants - they would in fact be legitimate targets. However, the Biden administration has insisted that Israel refrain from targeting them.
This demand has directly caused the deaths of multiple IDF soldiers. The latest example is the ambush two days ago in Sajaya, which led to death of eight Golani fighters announced yesterday as well as two more soldiers. The most notable casualty was Col. Tomer Greenberg, who became famous on October 7th when he rescued the newly orphaned twins Roi and Gaya in Kfar Aza.
Ceasefire Led To New Boobytrapped Houses
The other component that has endangered the IDF soldiers in Gaza has been Hamas’ ability to regroup during the latest ceasefire. The ceasefire or pause in fighting that was forced on Israel ensured the IDF had to pull back from its forward positions. This gave Hamas enough time to boobytrap more houses - most likely the house Tomer Greenberg and his Golani soldiers went into, where they were not only ambushed, but suffered from an explosion set off by a Hamas tripwire.
The ceasefire was pushed on Israel both externally by the Biden Administration and internally by the Ehud Barak backed Kaplan Brigade’s Hostage Family Forum. The latter, who represents a small minority of hostage families is funded by the same people that backed the insurgency over the past year against the Netanyahu government’s judicial reforms.
There is no doubt now that the Biden administration’s unrelenting pressure on Israel to fight its enemies with almost two hands tied behind its back as well as the foreign funded insurgency that cynically uses the plight of the hostages to force Israel into dangerous ceasefires is directly responsible for the death of Tomer Greenberg and so many of his heroic comrades.
The reliance on American weapons and munitions has made us into a vassal state where we are forced to follow the US administration’s rules of engagement. These rules of engagement are designed to placate the growing Arab street in America and Europe. For Israel to truly be victorious against its enemies, it must move towards self reliance in regards to defense equipment and munitions.
Until then, our IDF soldiers fighting to defend the Nation of Israel are in mortal danger, potentially dying due to the Biden Administration’s addiction to seeing Israel fail.
