The killing of Yahya Sinwar is yet another example of the fecklessness of the Biden administration’s Israel/Gaza policy.
You may recall that both Biden and Harris warned Israel against entering Rafah, where Sinwar was found and killed, and has been pushing Israel for months to cease its war against Hamas. It was vitally important to the UN and the US that Hamas and Hezbollah survive to fight again.
Kamala Harris said in March that an Israeli strike in Rafah would be a “huge mistake.” She “studied the maps,” so thought she knew better than Israel.
Today, Israel took out Yahya Sinwar in Rafah. He was the mastermind behind 10/7.

Sinwar was the architect of the October 7th massacre and one of the most radical and evil terrorists in the world. If Netanyahu had followed Biden and Harris’ advice, he would still be alive today and working to rebuild Hamas–which has been decimated and decapitated by Israel. Now that he is dead, the world–including many people in Gaza and even the residents of the Oval Office–celebrate.
Breaking: State Department Spokesperson, Matthew Miller, confirms that Sinwar was the obstacle to a ceasefire.

They liked the ends but felt squishy about the necessary means.
Wait, is she trying to have a Bin Laden moment for something she not only had nothing to do with but actively lobbied to prevent? https://t.co/FvzyjbKHgh— Bonchie (@bonchieredstate) October 17, 2024
It’s no surprise that Biden and company got this so wrong because that has been their M.O. for the entire stretch of their time in office. Biden has never been right about anything in foreign policy, so at least he has been consistent. Harris has, of course, been learning at the hairy legs of Joe Biden, and while she has been wrong for less time than Biden, she is equally good at screwing up.

I do applaud Biden’s statement on Sinwar’s death, though. It was a strong statement and dead right that Sinwar’s death will hasten the end of the war.
