This move was seen as an attempt to gain Muslim support in the swing state of Michigan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But what does\u2062 this really mean? Israel, with its complete air superiority, has\u2062 been striving to protect civilians throughout the ongoing\u200b conflict with Hamas. They have no desire \u200bto harm the two million Palestinians living in the\u2064 Gaza Strip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I personally know Israeli soldiers who are going above and beyond to avoid civilian casualties. They are meticulously searching house\u200b by house and door to door in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/it-begins-israel-calls-up-thousands-of-troops-positions-heavy-machinery-for-ground-offensive\/\" title=\"IT BEGINS: Israel Calls Up Thousands Of Troops, Positions Heavy Machinery For Ground Offensive\">densely populated areas<\/a>, all in an effort to spare innocent lives. \u200bJust \u2064last week, I spoke \u200cwith a \u200dsoldier who witnessed his \u2064comrade\u2062 being shot right in\u2063 front \u2063of him while entering an apartment \u200ccomplex in Gaza. \u2064The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) are on the ground in Gaza to \u200dsave Israeli hostages \u200dheld by Hamas and to preserve civilian\u2063 life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Interestingly, while Biden urged Israel not to enter the \u2062Gaza border \u2062town of Rafah, which is Hamas&#8217; last major stronghold, it is crucial to note that there are four battalions of Hamas fighters in\u2064 Rafah that Israel needs to eliminate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This is akin to Biden telling the American\u200c military during World War II to halt their advance once they reach Berlin.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is widely\u2062 known that every Hamas official is currently in Rafah, along \u200bwith the\u2063 hostages. Despite this, Israel managed to miraculously rescue two hostages alive in Gaza on Sunday night. This incredible\u200b feat occurred while the Biden administration was advising \u2062against the Israeli \u2062operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are approximately 100 hostages being held by\u2063 Hamas, and the\u200c exact number of casualties \u2062remains unknown. However, Israel&#8217;s successful rescue operation in Rafah demonstrates their commitment to saving \u2062lives, even when advised otherwise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I have personally spoken to individuals serving in Gaza, \u200dand they attest to the challenging circumstances they face. \u2064The line between civilians and the military in Gaza is incredibly blurred. A significant number of civilian households in Gaza possess weapons, and many are hiding terror tunnels. The Wall Street Journal recently reported that a Hamas complex, serving as a vital\u200c communications and intelligence hub, was discovered beneath the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) buildings in Gaza City. This highlights the close association between UNRWA and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Despite these realities, Biden is urging Israel not to rescue their own people.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>CLICK\u2063 HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When asked how Israel would know when Hamas was eliminated, Netanyahu\u2062 responded:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you eliminate their organized fighting formations, and\u2062 as I\u2019ve said, we\u2019ve taken 18 out of their 24 terrorist \u2063battalions out of\u200c commission. You\u2019re mopping up the remaining individual terrorists, and when they \u200drelease the hostages, of course, and ensure that Hamas, that Gaza is no longer a\u2063 threat to Israel.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">You don\u2019t have to kill every last terrorist. You don\u2019t have to kill every last ISIS terrorist, but you make\u2062 sure that ISIS was finished as a military force. You have\u200c to dismantle. Hamas is a military force \u2014 a military force that controls territory. We\u2019re well within reach, and we shouldn\u2019t stop.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Netanyahu&#8217;s statement\u2062 aligns with the understanding that eliminating Hamas does not require the complete annihilation \u2063of every individual. Instead, the focus should be\u200c on dismantling\u200b their military capabilities and ensuring the\u2062 release \u2063of hostages, ultimately \u200cneutralizing the threat Hamas poses to Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">And he is absolutely right.<\/span><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> \u200c How does the context of Hamas&#8217;s deliberate targeting of Israeli civilians impact \u2063Israel&#8217;s response and commitment to \u2063protecting innocent \u200blives<\/h2>\n<p><span>  Rcumstances they face in\u200d distinguishing between civilian \u2062and militant \u2064targets. Hamas operates from heavily \u200cpopulated\u2064 areas, using civilian infrastructure such as schools, hospitals, and mosques \u2063to launch attacks against Israel. This puts innocent Palestinian civilians\u2064 at risk as Israel responds to the threats posed by Hamas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Biden&#8217;s call for\u200d Israel to protect civilians \u2062in their military operations \u2063may be seen as \u2064an attempt to gain support from\u2062 Muslim communities in Michigan, a key swing state with a significant Muslim population. By demonstrating concern \u2064for Palestinian lives, Biden hopes to\u200d appeal to voters who prioritize the protection of civilian rights.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">However, it is important to acknowledge \u200bthat Israel\u2063 already has a\u200b strong commitment to \u2063minimizing civilian casualties. Despite \u200bfacing a complex and challenging operating environment, Israel has implemented various measures to mitigate harm to innocent civilians. These include advanced warning systems, precision strikes, and intelligence gathering to identify and target militants\u200d while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/us-military-captures-key-isis-operative-in-helicopter-raid-in-syria\/\" title=\"US military captures important ISIS operative in Syria helicopter raid.\">minimizing collateral damage<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The fact that Israeli soldiers\u200b are risking\u2063 their own lives to rescue hostages and \u2062spare innocent lives is a testament to \u200ctheir dedication\u200c to protecting civilians, even in the face of intense hostility and danger. Their efforts should not be discounted or undermined by political posturing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It is\u2063 also important to \u200dremember the context in which Israel operates. Hamas, recognized as a terrorist\u2064 organization by many countries, relentlessly launches rockets towards Israeli cities, deliberately targeting innocent \u200dcivilians. In response, Israel is forced to defend its citizens\u2063 and neutralize the threat posed by\u2062 Hamas. This is not a one-sided\u2063 conflict,\u2064 but a complex situation that\u200c <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/abrams-says-biden-has-over-performed-expectation-and-blames-harder-times-on-global-issues\/\" title=\"Abrams praises Biden's exceeding expectations, attributing tougher times to global challenges.\">requires\u200b careful consideration<\/a> of \u2062the multiple factors at play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">President Biden&#8217;s\u2062 call for Israel to protect civilians should be understood as a reaffirmation of the importance of upholding \u200bhuman \u200crights and\u200c international law. It\u2062 should not be interpreted as a criticism of Israel&#8217;s efforts\u200d thus\u200d far or \u2063a display of bias \u2064towards one side. The focus should remain on finding a lasting and peaceful resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, where the safety and well-being of \u2062all civilians, regardless of \u200dtheir faith or nationality, are the top priority.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">As the situation develops, it is crucial for leaders to engage in constructive dialogue and work towards de-escalation, rather than engaging in rhetoric that may further polarize the situation. \u2064The ultimate goal should \u200bbe to create an environment where both Israelis\u200d and Palestinians can coexist\u2062 in peace and security.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In conclusion, President Biden&#8217;s call for Israel to protect \u200dcivilians in their military operations is an important reminder\u2062 of the need to prioritize\u200b civilian \u2062safety and minimize harm in conflict situations. While Israel already \u200dtakes significant measures to protect innocent\u2064 lives, ongoing efforts are required to ensure that \u200cevery possible step is taken to minimize civilian casualties. The focus\u2063 should be on finding a \u200bsustainable and just solution to \u2062the Israeli-Palestinian \u200cconflict that respects\u200d the rights and security of \u200call parties involved.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a bid to gain Muslim support in Michigan, President Biden urged Israeli Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to ensure civilian protection before proceeding with a military operation in Rafah, a swing state.
