THREAD:

The Truth behind Biden's Visit, the Hospital Massacre, and Biden's Lie:

1. Hezbollah and Iran stated that unless Israeli attacks on civilians ceased, they would intervene;

2. Israel panicked. It can carry out massacres of defenseless populations but it can't fight ground wars. It has dreaded a ground war in Gaza, let alone fighting the Party of God;

3. Israel begged Biden to visit to protect it from a second-front war;

4. When Israel carried out the hospital massacre, Biden agreed to lie about the attack only if Israel agreed to cease its genocidal plan in Gaza and allow in humanitarian aid;

5. Biden lied exactly as Lyndon Baines Johnson lied in June 1967 when Israel attacked the U.S.S. Liberty, killing 34 American crewmen. Both LBJ and Biden lied to protect a key ally (and, not incidentally, a domestic electoral asset).

6. Biden will now be praised for his statesmanship in standing by Israel and enabling humanitarian aid to enter Gaza.

He harbored the conceit that he himself would be spared. But King Chaim was wrong. Here's how Wikipedia describes his ending:

In August 1944, Rumkowski and his family joined the last transport to Auschwitz, and he was murdered there on August 28, 1944, by Jewish Sondercommanado inmates who beat him to death as revenge for his role in the Holocaust.

1) He started out a yeshiva bocher in Brooklyn, NY; then he graduated first in his class at Yale, and became the youngest tenured professor at Harvard Law School (HLS); normanfinkelstein.com/2021/05/27/he-…

2) He divorced his “plain Jane” Orthodox Jewish wife (in search of a trophy wife in Cambridge) and he managed to get full custody of their two children (unheard of back then, when the mother always got custody);

3) His betrayed and bereft ex-spouse then jumped off the Brooklyn Bridge, that then became the eternal skeleton in his closet (Poe’s “tell-tale heart”);
