Strange: Biden, UN, And Others Call For Israel To Have Restraint

It’s a very simple proposition: Islamic nations and groups need to stop attacking Israel. Don’t start none, won’t be none. Israel was literally attacked by Iran yesterday, and we’re getting

US works to prevent an escalation across the Mideast as Biden pushes Israel to show restraint

The United States on Sunday highlighted its role in helping Israel thwart Iran’s aerial attack as President Joe Biden convened leaders of the Group of Seven countries in an effort to prevent a wider regional escalation and coordinate a global rebuke of Tehran.

The U.S. assisted Israel in shooting down dozens of drones and missiles fired by Iran on Saturday in what was the first time it had launched a direct military assault on Israel. Israeli authorities said 99% of the inbound weapons were shot down without causing any significant damage.

U.S. officials said that despite the high interception rate, Iran’s intent was to “destroy and cause casualties” and that if successful, the strikes would have caused an “uncontrollable” escalation across the Mideast. U.S. officials said Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in an effort to contain tensions, that Washington would not participate in any offensive action against Iran, and the president made “very clear” to Netanyahu “that we do have to think carefully and strategically” about risks of escalation.

The push to encourage Israel to show restraint mirrored ongoing American efforts to curtail Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza, which is now in its seventh month, and to do more to protect civilian lives in the territory.

How would Biden react if Iran parked a freighter 200 miles off the US coast and launched a barrage of missiles and drones at D.C. Or, say, his house at the beach? Think he would show restraint beyond sinking the ship? All this type of yammering does is incent Iran and the proxies to continue their attacks

UN chief urges ‘maximum restraint’ from Israel at emergency meeting after Iran’s attack

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Sunday warned members not to further escalate tensions with reprisals against Iran, while the U.S. warned the Security Council it would work to hold Tehran accountable at the U.N.

Guterres, speaking to a meeting of the U.N. Security Council, told member states that the U.N. charter bars the use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state as he also condemned Iran’s attack on Israel. (snip)

“The Middle East is on the brink. The people of the region are confronting a real danger of a devastating full-scale conflict. Now is the time to defuse and de-escalate,” Guterres told the meeting, which was called after Iran’s attack.

The time for saying this was before Iran attacked. But, we all know these people are haters of Israel and Jews, and placated the Islamic extremists, doing exactly as the Muslim Brotherhood playbook was meant to work

Israel must show restraint.
I fear Netanyahu won’t.

Why must Israel show restraint? Why not Iran and it’s proxies? This is like blaming the woman in the skirt and telling her to not go to the cops.

Did Iran or Hamas pay him to write this? https://t.co/XyvpUAsc1Z
