Kamala Harris Threatens Israel With ‘Consequences’ if Rafah Terror Stronghold Stormed
Also, IDF Verifies 480 Hamas, PIJ Terrorists Captured in Raid on Terror-Infested Shifa Hospital
After Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday vowed to go it alone in Gaza despite the Biden White House’s ‘red line’ on storming the last-standing terrorist stronghold of Rafah, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris has threatened Israel with “consequences” for going ahead with the planned counter-terrorist operation.
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps,” Harris boasted in a TV interview. “There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” she said referring to Rafah’s civilian population.
Harris’s claim is unfounded. Netanyahu assured on Friday that his government understands “the need to evacuate the civilian population from the war zones and of course also take care of the humanitarian needs and we are working to that end.”
Last week, the Israeli prime minister okayed a military plan which included an orderly evacuation of civilians from Rafah.

The ABC News reported Harris’s latest outburst:
In a wide-ranging new interview with ABC News, Vice President Kamala Harris suggested there could be “consequences” for Israel if it moves ahead with a planned invasion of Rafah in its pursuit of Hamas fighters. (…)
“We have been clear in multiple conversations and in every way that any major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake,” Harris told ABC News’ Senior Congressional Correspondent Rachel Scott in part of the interview that aired Sunday on “This Week.”
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” Harris said.(…)
[ABC’s Rachel] Scott on Sunday pressed the vice president, asking if America would consider “consequences” if Netanyahu went forward — something he said he was willing to do despite the opposition.
“Well, we’re going to take it one step at a time, but we’ve been very clear in terms of our perspective on whether or not that should happen,” Harris said.
Scott followed up: “Are you ruling out that there would be consequences from the United States?”
“I am ruling out nothing,” Harris replied.
IDF Verifies 480 Hamas, PIJ Terrorists Captured in Raid on Terror-Infested Shifa Hospital
The Israeli raid on the terrorist-infested Shifa Hospital continued over the weekend, with IDF troops succeeding in killing over 170 terrorists and capturing nearly 800 suspected terror operatives who had established a base inside the largest hospital in Gaza.
The military confirmed that out of 800 suspects “480 of arrested were verified as associated to the terrorist organizations Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ),” the Israeli TV channel i24NEWS reported. These numbers are expected to go up as IDF winds up the week-long operation, reliable Israeli sources indicate.
The number of suspects detained in and around Shifa is likely going to approach 1,000 people, of which Israel already says some 500 of them are confirmed Hamas and PIJ members.
This is a huge number of terrorists and alleged terrorists. Several IDF soldiers have been killed in…

The Israeli secutiry services have not revealed the names of all terror operatives apprehended from the site, but media reports suggest that several high-value terrorists were caught in the net. The surprise raid on Shia Hospital, which began on Monday, was jointly conducted by the Israeli military and country’s secutiry agency Shin Bet.
The military “struck hundreds of terrorists, apprehended hundreds of terrorists, and brought in significant operational and intelligence assets,” commander of IDF Southern Command, Major General Yaron Finkelman, said Friday.
The operation will not stop till every single terrorist is purged from the hospital complex, the IDF commander assured. “We are continuing with this operation, the leadership of the commanders is excellent, and we will finish this operation only when the last terrorist is in our hands – alive or dead. Great appreciation for the soldiers, great appreciation for the commanders; keep moving forward, do not stop for a moment,” Major General Finkelman said.

“The IDF and ISA [ the Israel Security Agency, also know as Shin Bet] are continuing to conduct precise operational activity in the Shifa Hospital area while preventing harm to civilians, patients, medical teams, and medical equipment,” the Israel military revealed in a statement on Sunday morning. “IDF troops apprehended approximately 480 terrorists affiliated with the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations, and have located weapons and terrorist infrastructure in the hospital.”

IDF soldiers read Book of Esther inside Shifa
On the lighter note, some soldiers on Sunday took respite from days of heavy fighting by celebrating the Jewish festival of Purim inside Shifa hospital. A group of soldiers were filmed reading the Book of Esther, which contains the biblical record of the Jews’ rescue from genocide in ancient Persia.
“IDF troops operating inside Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital read the Book of Esther to mark the Jewish holiday of Purim amid the ongoing war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip,” The Times of Israel reported. “In video footage circulating online, a soldier reads the Jewish text, known colloquially as the Megillah, while others stand around him in full combat gear.”

The Hubris of these dunning Kruger victims. They can’t even prove we elected them much less Isreal.
Who does she think she is? President?
Just a neuron away from the Oval Office…. Not to be confused with what was Willie Brown’s oval office.
She might as well be on the moon because that is as close to being president as she’s ever going to get. Walking into the Oval office may be a small step for man, but it’s a giant leap for an old worn out prostitute.
You don’t know that. He could fall off the perch at any moment, and she’s instantly president. That won’t make her any more competent, any more than it did for him.
‘E’s nailed to the bloody perch! – Monty Python
It would be poetic if Israel started treating se jerks like escaped Nazi’s.
It would be a downright miracle if you ever expressed a thought at an intelligence level akin to a marginally articulate third grader.
Who knows? It’s hard to figure out anything she is saying.
As for the “nowhere to go” thing I guess the Pali’s should have thought of that before invading Israel and murdering over 1,000 plus taking hostages. I know, they could go into Egypt. Oh, wait, Egypt doesn’t want those terrorists anywhere near them. Imagine that.
Hamas could end this today by surrendering and handing over the hostages. Strange no one is demanding they do anything.
in her dreams and our nightmares!….
Consequences? What like her visiting there maybe?
The consequences to Israel are worse if they let Hamas go. So anything short of that is a lesser threat.
None of the influential influncers have figured out that they have not yet pffered any better deal, nor would they be believed in any case.
If only she had studied US/Mexico maps!
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps. There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” Harris said.(…)
Kamala, those were the North Korea maps again. But E for Effort.
God please protect Israel and rid of us this evil empire
Wot she gonna do, cackle at them?
Damn, word-for-word my initial response. 🙂
OMG, that’s it! The new, totally virtual US military strategy for deploying and prosecuting a weapons-free war.
Who would have thought the very sight of Harris’s face, and the sound of her voice cackling on a Tik-Toc video would cause Hamas to lay down their weapons and to run into the sea, and Israel agree to a cease-fire just to get relief from the obnoxious video?
Does anyone actually believe that Harris has “studied the maps”? I’d love to hang a world map on the wall and ask Harris actually point to Israel on the map. I highly doubt she could do it.
I’m not convinced she could find the United States.
I bet she does not even known the Capital of the United States.
Do you mean the whole country, or just the federal government? If it’s just the government, after deducting the national debt I’d guess the USA’s capital is around a buck fifty, more or less.
Very clever there!
She’s as dumb as a box of hammers. If we make it to January 20th without these morons destroying the world, it will be nothing short of a bona fide miracle.
That is an insult to hammers. Same with Rocks.
Kamala Harris Threatens Israel With ‘Consequences’ if Rafah Terror Stronghold Stormed
Rafah Terror Stronghold? Why is she concerned? Maybe we need to remove our CIA assets? Personally, I think we need to mind our own business and let Israel do what they need to do.
Absolutely this Mark!
However you, unlike Democrats, don’t have a large proportion of Muslim extremists to keep sweet for the coming election months in November.
There is not a person here that doesn’t think that Harris was looking at Venn diagrams and didn’t see a place for an electric school bus to make it out.
“It’s, like, surrounded, surrounded, surrounded!”
Kamala, that’s an old Ballantine Ale ad. But E for Effort.
I hope the IDF is inspired by their readings to go “Old Testament” on Hamas
”I have studied the maps.”
Obviously not….
“There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” Harris said.
….because there is plenty of room North, South, East.
Or they could evacuate into the Mediterranean. If Harris is so worked up why doesn’t she pressure the NGOs who take ‘migrants’ from N Africa across to France, Spain, Italy to use their vessels to evacuate them into the EU….who shouldn’t whine b/c many of their members seem to be more worried about potential ‘Palestinian’ casualties than the decades of terrorism culminated on Oct 7.
Yep.
They could use that port Blue Collar Joe is gonna build.
“Let me tell you something: I have studied the maps, there’s nowhere for those folks to go.”
Good thing no one at ABC “news” owns a map. (spoiler alert)
There is the whole Arab world to go, no one wants them.
Oh wait, she isn’t pushing for them to go here is she?
Yep. They are the problem children of the Arab world.
The only map she ever studied was the one she picked up at the Arco station in San Francisco. This moron and the dementia patient in chief are a total embarrassment to western civilization. FJB
Harris is a moron that should keep her mouth shut…
Don’t get yer hopes up. If she could not keep her legs closed how do you expect her to keep her mouth closed?
But just like with a mynah bird, best to ignore the racket emanating from her pie hole.
The vile, evil and stupid Dhimmi-crats are now fairly characterized as a party that willfully, gleefully and unabashedly enables, funds, rationalizes and gives moral and diplomatic succor, deference and legitimacy to goose-stepping, Jew-hating, genocidal Muslim supremacists, terrorists and Islamofascists.
Any American citizen who supports such a party, and, its despicable, morally bankrupt apparatchiks, is complicit in this evil; end of story.
“Harris’s claim is unfounded”
An incredibly kind way to describe most of her statements.
If you spit your coffee laughing when you visualized Kamala studying the maps, you’re not alone.
You really have to time sipping hot liquids when reading stories with Kamala quotes. We’re coming on 4 years of this, you’d think I’d have learned that by now.
Maybe she should ask why they can’t just evacuate into Egypt.
Guess Kumala is the spokesperson for Hamas now.
I’m extremely curious of why they are drawing a line in the sand here. What do they not want to come out?
These people have zero morals…they just do and say whatever makes them rich or get elected…sometimes both.
“What do they not want to come out?”
You nailed it. Look for what’s self-serving in keeping the Israelis out of that last stronghold. What changes if they go in, collapse Hamas and occupy. Starting with info:
— What the poor refugees used all that aid for. Might shut down the aid, then no more cut for the administrators..
— Complicit organizations. Lots of folks supporting Hamas, or at least not “interfering”, like, say, sending a “heads’ up” about immanent attacks to Israel, like one does for close allies like Putin’s Russian regime. Their complicity, amorality, and opportunism on display could get their own operations monitored, defunded, or both.
— Realities of Hamas organization, operations, and intentions. Tallying atrocities like car sales does not much look like the moral high ground. Somewhere are receipts from “leadership’s” lifestyles. Lots of folks willing to give blankets to refugees without shelter, less willing to support another room service Dommy P in Qatar.
— Evidence of duplicity. They knew. Like that AP stringer riding on one of the motorbikes, at one point holding a grenade: all on film. They knew. Awkward.
— Realities of Israel’s execution. Like live refugees in Gaza makes it hard to claim “genocide” from an opponent with air supremacy and nukes. Food and medical supplies delivered during ongoing combat. Treatment and evacuation to Israel for treatment.(*)
— Realities of Hamas’ treatment of opposition, Israeli combatants, and prisoners. They might have learned something from their goblins’ posting real-time Go Pro videos of attacks on civilians. May spin up the home team. Has rather the opposite impact on others. That comes out and folks might ask: So, why not wipe these folks out.
— Hamas down: changes the calculus across the whole region. People doing well as things are are never for actual change.
— None of the in charge wad wants an example of an actually successful war. Militarily achievable objective, militarily achieved. Means match the ends. Would pin them with uncomfortable questions about war-like things we’re playing at.
(*) Indeed, massive civilian casualties. Also not genocide. The reality of Israel’s methodical, brutal restraint is very inconvenient for the chattering class.
Twitter has a massive pile of Syrian refugees videos recycled as though Israel is obliterating Palestinians. That kind of propaganda works if the MSM is unwilling to refute it.
Kamala pouring gasoline on the fire. Muzzies in swing states like michigan going to sit out next election.
smh
Come on, guys. Kamala has studied the intersection of the Venn Diagram’s three circles of Israel, Hamas, and Peace and it’s Rafah.
You guys probably hate yellow school buses, don’t you?
https://imgflip.com/gif/4k8gbv
These are probably worth further reporting on Hamas propaganda going on in the conflict:
https://www.foxnews.com/world/biden-use-of-hamas-death-count-challenged-by-prominent-statistician-says-numbers-arent-accurate
FYI Biden himself has questioned the numbers in the past but now uses them in his speeches:
https://www.foxnews.com/politics/biden-denies-accuracy-gaza-casualty-numbers-has-no-confidence-hamas-run-health-ministry
“Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people..” Perhaps John Adams should have also added the word intelligent.
I’m not convinced that Kamalamadingdong can even spell “consequences”.
aka “The result of doing bad thingies.”
Hmmm…none of the Muslim Countries are offering to take the Pali’s. I wonder why that is.
Experience.
(Yes, I know that’s a metaphorical question that doesn’t really need an answer for anybody with a sliver of knowledge about the Middle East, but there are people with only a current public school education who wander into this blog at times, and I thought it best to fill in the gap before they start with the knee-jerk “It’s Reagan’s Fault!” which they’ve been programmed.)
Same reason NO ONE moslem “charity organisation” (hint: they do not exist) mustered a lick of aid when the tsunami overwhelmbed the island of Sumatra a decade or so back. It was all western christians who responded. The local mozzies were asking WHY none of :our” people lifted a finger to help them’
the real reason, Izz Slam are all singing that old One Note Samba… mi mi mi mi mi mi….. with a beat, or course.
The term Black September does not refer to Palestinian attacks on Jews. It refers to the PLO attempt to overthrow the government of Jordan, which had given them shelter after their pathetic performance in the 1967 war.
The Arab states don’t want them because they know who the Palestinians are and don’t plan to play the frog to the Palestinian scorpion.
“There’s nowhere for those folks to go,” she said
Pore widdow Kammiekins, WEEP for the pore “those folks” with niwhere to go.
They’ve made their bed by alliwng t eh hamas dirtbags to run over them, corral, conrol, abuse them for generations now. They’ve made that bed for themselves, now they have to lie in that bed.
IF a signficnt number of them were to play turncoaat, begin to liase with the Isreali troops provide them with inside infiormation to help Israellis find and neutralise the Hamas operators and leaders, then the move on that part of the area will be short and sweet, clearing the rest of Gaza of the mozzie forces, whatever label they might wear on any given day.
Having observed the conduct of the Israeli army thus far, that is not outside the realm of possibility. And I have little doubt IDF are not already playing that game to at least some extent in Rafah.
It is amazing and very impressive to observe IDF’s steady progress, if slow, and the throughness they are applying to ferreting out the Hamas roots and dealing wth them. If IDF back away from persuing their present path to eradicate Hamas to the root, within two years everything will slither ack to the pre-October raid status quo. NOT an acceptible outcome. Israel are doing the right thing, never mind what that wretch Kammiekins might be muttering about.
