Israel's war with Hamas was always an all-in ordeal. Not because Israel just loves war and has a taste for genocide like the useful idiots on college campuses like to claim, but because they didn't have a choice.
Hamas has always made it clear that the destruction of Israel and the genocide of the Jewish people was their top priority. The events on October 7 were a clear sign that Hamas was serious about it and they didn't care if you were a man, woman, or innocent child. They would brutalize, kidnap, and more to anyone they deemed worthy of death.
Israel can't stop. Stopping would mean Hamas would get to keep the hostages it has. It means it can regroup, recruit, and re-arm. It means that Hamas can return to cause even more death and destruction, not just in Israel, but on the people of whatever region they inhabit. The elimination of Hamas is the only avenue to peace and the cessation of death.
So when President Joe Biden told Israel that the U.S. would withdraw its assistance from Israel if it crossed in Rafah, it was the Biden administration effectively siding with Hamas. There is no middle ground here.

But this is more than just a betrayal of one of our greatest allies as they enter the final phase of their war to eliminate one of the most dangerous and evil entities in the Middle East. This is also a betrayal of American families whose relatives are still being held by Hamas as hostages.
According to the State Department, there are six American hostages. Stopping Israel from winning the war with Hamas is stopping these hostages from being rescued and more hostage situations like this from popping up again.
Joe Biden is hedging on support for Israel. He is withholding weaponry to finish the war in Gaza. He is withholding Israel’s best chance of getting our American hostages back. He needs to be run out of office. pic.twitter.com/jO5n8Zzin7

As Fox News reported, Rafah is where Hamas's leadership and many of the hostages are being held. Israel has no choice but to go in:
Thousands of Hamas terrorists and its infamous leader, Yahya Sinwar, are holed up in Rafah — a city of over 1 million Palestinians — and the jihadi organization is using hostages, some of whom may be Americans, as human shields to deter an Israeli incursion.
The IDF announced this week that it has operational control of the Rafah side crossing to Egypt.
The timing of Biden’s freeze on sending offensive weapons to Israel coincides with a Hamas rocket attack on Sunday that resulted in the murder of four soldiers near the Rafah crossing toward Kerem Shalom.
The Hamas attack also severely wounded three additional soldiers. An IDF spokesman said Hamas launched 14 mortars and rockets at IDF troops, and a residence in a Kibbutz was hit.
With this final push, the war would be more or less done.
The message Biden is sending here is that it's willing to abandon one of its greatest allies at the 11th hour in a war it had no choice but to fight, abandon American hostages, and abandon any sense that America is serious about eliminating its enemies and punishing those who would dare harm its people.
Biden has not only made us look weak, he's made us look untrustworthy. If ever our allies are in need, Biden has told them that we'll buckle if the going looks like it's going to get a little too tough.
Moreover, this isn't just a message sent to our allies, this is a message sent to our enemies. We just told them that America will fold under the right circumstances. The tiger is made of paper.
Biden, and his handlers, have to go. Not just because he's severely mucked things up here in the States, but because it's clear that he poses a clear danger to the international community.
