In fact, it can have deadly consequences. It leads \u2062people to believe in foolish\u200c notions and blinds leaders to the harsh realities of the world. \u2063When it comes to national \u2064security, we need \u200bleaders who can make tough decisions based on\u200d cold, \u2063hard facts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Unfortunately, politics often attracts those\u2063 with starry-eyed\u200c visions or those who hide their own cowardice behind such visions. And it seems\u200b that \u2064President Biden \u2063may be\u2062 falling into this trap.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Wavering in\u200b the Face of Conflict<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As Israel \u2063battles against\u200c Hamas, Biden&#8217;s resolve\u200b appears to be wavering. While he initially expressed support for Israel&#8217;s mission to remove Hamas and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/kyrie-irving-not-focused-on-basketball-turns-his-focus-to-israeli-palestinian-conflict\/\" title=\"Kyrie Irving Not Focused On Basketball, Turns His Focus to Israeli-Palestinian Conflict\">minimize civilian casualties<\/a>,\u2062 he is\u200c now \u200bbeing\u2062 influenced by radical left-wing media and\u2063 inexperienced staffers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Recently, Biden tweeted, &#8220;Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis\u2062 and Palestinians living side by side in\u200b peace.\u200b To\u2062 continue down the path of terror, violence, killing,\u2063 and war is to give Hamas what they seek. We can&#8217;t do that.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Hamas unleashed a terrorist attack because they fear nothing more than Israelis and Palestinians living side \u2064by side\u200b in peace.<\/p>\n<p>To continue down the path of terror, violence, killing,\u200c and war is to give Hamas what they seek.<\/p>\n<p>We \u200bcan&#8217;t do that.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoeBiden\/status\/1729621217089323431?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 28, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what does \u200dBiden really mean by this \u2063tweet? It seems to \u200bcreate a paradox. On one hand, he\u200d claims\u2063 we can&#8217;t give Hamas what they want, which is more violence. On the\u200d other hand, it takes \u2063military action to defeat Hamas. So is Biden suggesting that we \u200dleave \u200dHamas in place \u200din \u2063order to defeat them?\u2064 Or is he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-ford-ceo-predicts-mass-adoption-of-electric-vehicles-will-be-tough\/\" title=\"Ex-Ford CEO foresees challenges in widespread electric vehicle adoption.\">setting unrealistic expectations<\/a> for the military, considering Hamas deliberately hides among civilians?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regardless\u2064 of his intentions, Biden&#8217;s \u200drhetoric is undermining Israel&#8217;s war effort. He is falling prey to the propaganda of the legacy media, which promotes the false claims that Hamas isn&#8217;t as bad as it seems,\u200b that Israel is equally to blame,\u200d that Israel should make concessions to the Palestinian Authority, and that \u200cBiden&#8217;s political future \u200ddepends on believing these \u2062claims.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>The Distortion of Truth<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The\u2062 media&#8217;s attempt to downplay Hamas&#8217; evil is astonishing. They are rewriting Hamas as a mere political protest group, ignoring their acts of terrorism and violence. They spread lies and obfuscate the truth to create a\u2062 false narrative.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Furthermore, the media often suggests that Israel \u2062is morally equivalent to Hamas, accusing them of indiscriminate bombing and excessive force. This is a gross distortion of reality. Israel takes extensive measures to protect civilians, providing warnings and using\u2063 precision strikes. They\u2062 are more careful than any army in history, yet they are dealing with a terrorist group that\u2062 deliberately hides among civilians.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The media&#8217;s moral equivalence only serves to grant \u200bHamas immunity for their despicable tactics. This sets a dangerous precedent for future terrorist groups.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In a recent interview,\u2062 former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett was \u2064asked if killing members of Hamas would create new members. He rightly pointed\u2062 out that if that were the case, no war could ever \u2063be won.\u200c It&#8217;s not about the immediate\u200d outcome, but about what comes \u2064next.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In\u200d the face of this conflict, we need leaders who \u200bcan see through the happy talk and\u2064 make tough, informed decisions. It&#8217;s time for Biden \u2064to show \u200ctrue resolve and stand \u200dfirmly with Israel\u2062 against Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Engaging Paraphrase:<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">During the war,\u200d countless innocent \u2064civilians lost\u200d their \u2062lives, but Germany managed\u200b to undergo denazification and emerge as a new nation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, the Biden administration seems to be falling for a blatant trick. John Kirby from the Pentagon \u200b <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/israel-hamas-gaza-displacement-south-operation-biden-788b05c51b5582b39aeb2466b7825525\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stated<\/span><\/a>, &#8220;It puts an even greater burden on Israel to ensure that as they plan \u2064for operations in the south, they take into account the additional innocent\u200b lives now in south Gaza.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/world\/middle-east\/u-s-urges-israel-to-change-tactics-in-gaza-c275ed12\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the Wall Street\u200c Journal<\/span><\/a>, &#8220;The U.S. is urging Israel to fight a more targeted war, signaling a shift from President Biden&#8217;s initial full support for the campaign against \u2064Hamas. Biden and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu are engaged in intense consultations on how to handle the conflict.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If\u200c the U.S. possesses \u2063a hidden magic wand, Israel would eagerly listen. However, for now, these empty words only lend credibility to Hamas&#8217; false accusations against Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Then there&#8217;s \u2064the argument that Israel should make concessions to the Palestinian Authority\u200d in order to weaken\u200c Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This\u200b claim comes from Thomas Friedman, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/pinkerton-joe-biden-and-john-kerrys-green-great-reset-punishes-america-rewards-china\/\" title=\"Pinkerton: Joe Biden and John Kerry\u2019s Green Great Reset Punishes America, Rewards China\">foreign policy columnist<\/a> for\u2064 the New York \u200bTimes, who has always supported Israeli concessions. In a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2023\/11\/28\/opinion\/israel-palestinians-war-iran.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">article<\/span><\/a>, he writes, &#8220;A reformed Palestinian Authority\u2064 is crucial for \u2062promoting moderation, coexistence, and a two-state\u200b solution&#8230; The Palestinian Authority has \u2063been committed to a two-state solution based\u200c on\u2063 pre-1967 borders \u2062since the Oslo \u2063Accords.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Believing this requires a \u2062certain level of naivety. The Palestinian \u200cAuthority has always viewed the Oslo Accords as a \u2063deceptive strategy. Yassar Arafat even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/pa-minister-equates-negotiations-to-medieval-pact-made-to-be-broken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">stated<\/span><\/a>  in 1994 that the agreement was no\u200c more significant than\u2062 a pact between Prophet Muhammad and Quraish, which ultimately led to the slaughter of the Quraish \u2062tribe. Arafat increased terrorist activities \u200cafter Oslo, and his successors followed suit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Palestinian\u2064 Authority has never genuinely pursued a two-state solution. It is a terrorist group, and concessions to\u200c terrorists only breed more terrorism. Yet the Biden administration continues to believe that the PA can somehow\u200d counter Islamic extremism.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Every day, the Palestinian \u2062population, radicalized over generations, proves this notion wrong. Polling \u2062data shows that the majority \u2063of Palestinians do not desire peace with Israel; they support Hamas and \u200cPalestinian Islamic Jihad. In fact, \u200dthe Palestinian Authority only has the \u200dsupport of approximately 10% of the population, \u2063which is roughly the same level of support as the biased Western media.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There is even video evidence of Palestinians mocking Israeli hostages, including children and elderly women, as they are released.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8216;Innocent Gazan&#8217; civilians again.

We all know \u2063how well that turned out last time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lastly, \u2063there&#8217;s the false \u200dclaim \u2063that Biden&#8217;s electoral troubles are solely\u2064 due \u2063to Israel&#8217;s efforts to \u2064eliminate Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is nothing but a lie. There\u200c is no evidence to suggest \u200cthat the Gaza War is the \u200dcause of Biden&#8217;s declining popularity. His approval ratings have remained relatively \u2062stable. The media, however, is\u200d pushing the \u200bnarrative that if Biden doesn&#8217;t give in to Hamas, he will lose the support of \u2064the youth\u200b vote. They highlight incidents like\u2062 the \u200creaction of citizens \u200bin Oakland, who protested when the city council \u200cconsidered\u2063 condemning Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Last night the \u2063Oakland City Council voted on a resolution \u2064to \u2063call for a ceasefire. <\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/far-left-cheers-as-homeless-group-seizes-hotel-near-tacoma-city-leaders-negotiating-with-group-as-police-refuse-to-intervene\/\" title=\"Far Left Cheers As Homeless Group Seizes Hotel Near Tacoma; City Leaders Negotiating With Group As Police Refuse To Intervene\">city council member<\/a> tried \u200dto insert language condemning Hamas. <\/p>\n<p>This \u200cwas the reaction\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/r7aTb2mkrQ\">pic.twitter.com\/r7aTb2mkrQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Yashar\u2064 Ali \ud83d\udc18 (@yashar) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/yashar\/status\/1729630529199 \u2063rnrn\n\n<h2>November 28, 2023<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>These are core parts of Biden\u2019s supposed constituency. \u2064According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/harvardharrispoll.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/HHP_Oct23_KeyResults.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Harvard Harris Poll<\/a>, as explained in the Wall Street Journal, \u201cRoughly half of Americans 18\u200c to 24 years old think Hamas\u2019s October attack was justified by\u2062 grievances\u200d of the Palestinians. Just 9% of\u200d people aged 65 and older feel the same.\u201d According to the media, this is the\u2063 real danger to Biden\u2019s 2024 efforts.<\/p>\n<p>This is, once again, ridiculous. Biden will either be running against Donald Trump \u2014 the most pro-Israel president in American history\u2063 \u2014 or Ron DeSantis or \u2063Nikki Haley \u2014 the most pro-Israel candidates in American history. Are all these Hamas-lovers going to stay home and \u200cwatch one of those three be \u200delected?\u2062 What\u2019s more, those 65 and older vote <i>far more<\/i> than those aged 18-24. \u2063So an incremental gain\u200b among those voters would likely be\u200c outweighed by an \u2062incremental loss among older voters.<\/p>\n<p>But \u2064the media have their story. And they\u2019re pushing it.<\/p>\n<p>In\u2062 any case, Israel isn\u2019t stopping. They can\u2019t. The IDF spokesperson <a href=\"https:\/\/www.idf.il\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">explained<\/a>:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i>Where this\u2063 is going forward from here, is that we are ready, and as soon as we \u2063will get the green light from the\u200d government of the\u200c State of Israel to continue operations we will do so because we understand that\u2062 there is a direct link between \u2062ground operations\u2064 and pressure \u2064on Hamas and their willingness to \u200chand over the hostages. \u2064And we are ready\u2063 and\u200b equipped to\u200c do so. And I hope that that will commence\u200b as soon as possible. Every day\u200c that Israeli hostages are returned is great. But we are preparing for the next stage of operations. And we have our site firmly focused on the aim, to dismantle\u2063 Hamas to make sure that never again will any terrorist\u2063 organization in Gaza have the ability to do what Hamas did on October the seventh.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>That\u2019s exactly correct.<\/p>\n<p>Israel can\u2019t stop. They\u2019ll either do it alone, or they\u2019ll do it with Western help. So \u2063what does it matter if\u200b the\u200c West backs Israel?<\/p>\n<p>It certainly means\u2062 one thing above all others: a West \u2064perceived as a weak, cowardly horse is a West ripe for the taking.<\/p>\n<p>And a \u200bhappy-talking West is a weak West.<\/p>\n<h3><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/a><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What are the dangers of promoting false claims and moral equivalence between a terrorist group like Hamas and \u200ba nation like Israel?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Happy talk is often seen as harmless conversation, but it can have dangerous\u2062 consequences, especially in matters \u200dconcerning national security. When it comes to making tough decisions based on facts, leaders need to avoid falling into the trap of foolish \u2064notions and instead face the \u200dharsh\u2062 realities of the world. Unfortunately, politics often attracts individuals with starry-eyed visions\u2062 or those who hide their own cowardice\u200b behind\u2062 such visions. This seems to be the case with \u2062President Biden, who appears to be wavering in \u200cthe face of conflict.<\/p>\n<p>As Israel battles against Hamas, Biden&#8217;s resolve is appearing weak. Initially expressing \u200dsupport for Israel&#8217;s mission to remove Hamas and minimize civilian casualties, he now seems to be influenced \u200cby left-wing media and inexperienced staffers. His recent tweet suggests that continuing down the path of\u200c violence and\u2063 war will give Hamas\u200d what they \u2063want, which contradicts the military action\u2062 needed to defeat them.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless of his intentions, Biden&#8217;s rhetoric is undermining Israel&#8217;s war effort. Falling prey to the\u2064 propaganda of the legacy media, he promotes false claims that Hamas isn&#8217;t as\u200c bad as it seems, that Israel is equally to blame, \u200band that Israel should make concessions\u200d to the Palestinian Authority. This type of happy talk only\u200b serves \u200cto weaken Israel\u200c and set a dangerous \u2063precedent for future terrorist\u200c groups.<\/p>\n<p>The media further distorts the \u2062truth by downplaying Hamas&#8217; evil and suggesting\u200c that Israel is morally equivalent to the\u200c terrorist group.\u200b Israel takes extensive\u200b measures to protect civilians, yet they are dealing with a group that deliberately hides\u2063 among civilians. This false moral equivalence only grants Hamas immunity for\u2064 their despicable \u200ctactics.<\/p>\n<p>In the\u2064 face of this conflict, we\u200b need leaders who\u2064 can see through the happy talk and make\u2062 tough, informed decisions. It \u200cis time for Biden to show true resolve and stand firmly with Israel against Hamas.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2063happy talk \u200dcan be a dangerous game when it comes to \u200dmatters of national security. Leaders must base their decisions on cold, hard facts and avoid falling for foolish notions. In the case of President Biden and the\u2062 conflict between Israel and Hamas, his wavering and reliance on false narratives is undermining Israel&#8217;s\u2062 war effort. It \u200cis crucial\u200b for leaders to see through the distortion of \u200dtruth and make tough, informed decisions to ensure the safety and security of nations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy talk is perilous, costing lives and fostering delusions.
