“We are witnessing a massive ramp-up in Hamas disinformation in its 11th hour, directly wired into its supporters in the United States.”

US President Joe Biden reaffirmed his commitment to bring Israeli hostages home in his State of the Union address Thursday, spending 90 seconds supporting Israel and blaming Hamas for the atrocities it committed on Oct. 7 as well as for the war that followed.
“Israel has a right to go after Hamas,” Biden said.
But he devoted a significant part of the Middle East section of the speech to the Palestinians.
He spent double the time, approximately 180 seconds, focusing on Palestinians “under bombardment” or experiencing “displacement,” and the need for a two-state solution.
He glaringly failed to mention the hundreds of thousands of Israelis under bombardment and the tens of thousands who have been displaced as a result of ongoing Hamas and Hezbollah attacks.
Biden also announced that the US military would establish a “temporary pier” off the coast of Gaza to facilitate the entry of humanitarian aid.
“The White House is truly flailing,” said Richard Goldberg, senior adviser at the Washington, DC-based Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
“We can’t secure our own border, but we can build a port in Gaza. Our military can’t be used to actually defend the United States, restore deterrence against our enemies, enforce sanctions, or rescue American hostages—but it can be put to work building a port in Gaza,” he continued.
