This approach of the US State Department is straight out of the Leninist-Stalinist playbook, and will go down in infamy: “What’s better than a lie? A bigger lie!” By presenting, with full fanfare and at the beginning of the holy Sabbath when Israeli foreign relations departments are inactive, an “Israeli Plan” for a ceasefire that is word-for-word the last unacceptable Hamas proposal, the US has broken all rules of fair play. The lie in this case is that this was an Israeli proposal. And the bigger lie? That’s just it. Whoever is handling Biden sent a subtle message to Israel, that they are not worth the effort of having a bigger lie wasted on them. They planted this lie, and revealed their play by demanding that Israel agree to its own proposal, a proposal that in a million years Israel would never offered on its own. To state the painfully obvious, if this were an Israeli proposal why did Biden have to threaten Israel to approve it? All done with a straight face, with high seriousness. This through-the-looking-glass absurdity was not meant to last. It only had to last long enough for the insult to register. Soon enough, with Israel’s agreement (Israel agreed to no such thing), the US turned to Hamas to demand that they agree to their own proposal. Laughingly, and to the State Department’s necessary chagrin, Hamas is not doing so. The very last thing that Hamas would have surmised when they sent out this proposal would be that they would be expected to stand by it. Absurd!
When this ridiculous gaggle of bumbling fools finally tumble out of the bottom of the slide, they will stand up, brush off their clothes, and congratulate each other over a job well done, saying that it had been a great plan and would have succeeded if it were not for the dastardly Bibi.
The World to Bibi: “Israel’s sister is a whore.”
Bibi to the World, stammering in disbelief: “But Israel does not have a sister.”
The World to Bibi: “She asked for it!”

Listen to the sound of the world’s Defeatists
Demanding Netanyahu become a Retreatist
Worldwide leaders behaving as cowardly Careerists
Shame on them and their traitorous trysts
Conniving crapheads ought to slit their own wrists.
Where honor is respected those scum stand up small
In the Hall of Light and Liberty they shrivel, in the darkest pall.
Cursed be their cult of Decency Denials
Damned be their perfidies, their lies and betrayals!
Postscript.
It is clear that the quality of leadership that the present reality demands of Prime Minister Netanyahu is above and beyond his native capabilities that he has displayed over the years, as impressive as they may be. It is sad to think that he puts his faith in his rhetorical skills before the US Congress. He will come away disappointed. Then, God willing, he will have the strength of character to realize that solace for the Jewish nation will not come from flesh and blood, and will have the the spiritual courage to guide his nation on the right path.
Why disparage Netanyahu? Had God wanted different efforts to be made by Netanyahu would they not have been implemented, preventing Holocaust #2? Better to accuse God of lack of imagination in providing inspiration to His human creation. Or, God forbid, did God simply not care enough to intervene?
Do you believe the 1000’s of innocents – unarmed, beheaded, raped, burnt-to-death, tortured, mutilated, otherwise killed/murdered – are not demanding of God His rationale for their abandonment by Him?
Will you charge the Big Guy In The Sky as being a smug, uncaring bully or will you remain disappointed with Netanyahu?
You forced me to re-read my comment, looking for disparagement of Netanyahu. I hold him in highest regard. I guess you could hold that my saying the he does not have the tools to deal with a totally unprecedented and unfair betrayal by a supposed ally is disparagement. That wasn’t my intention. But he has shown repeatedly that he caves under pressure, especially American pressure. By requesting a platform in the US Congress he is showing that he feels he is out of options. He should stay home and if he wants to talk to the world, say: ‘Who is with us is with us, who is against us is against us. Your positions are noted. Now stand clear while we wipe this evil of the face of the Earth once and for all.” I pray Netanyahu will be up to it, but if he is not, someone else will be.
Men are mortal and some make deadly mistakes.
The fairest we spectators can be is to berate those who repeat mistakes made previously, of not learning from history, when injury is not intended.
Netanyahu will judge himself harshly; I join you in hoping he judges himself mercifully as well.
