One would expect the letter to come from the Israel and Jew hating contingent, primarily made up of members of The Squad. Not this time
House Democrats send letter to Biden criticizing Netanyahu’s military strategy
A group of House Democrats with national security backgrounds on Monday sent a letter to President Biden arguing that the military strategy of the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is not in the best interests of the U.S. nor Israel’s own security.
“We are deeply concerned by PM Netanyahu’s current military strategy in Gaza. The mounting civilian death toll and humanitarian crisis are unacceptable and not in line with American interests; nor do they advance the cause of security for our ally Israel,” the letter says. “We also believe it jeopardizes efforts to destroy the terrorist organization Hamas and secure the release of all hostages.”
The letter is signed by six lawmakers, including Reps. Abigail Spanberger, a former CIA case officer, Jason Crow, a former Army Ranger who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Mikie Sherrill, who served as a Navy helicopter pilot. The other signatories are Reps. Elissa Slotkin, a former CIA analyst, Seth Moulton, a former Marine, and Chrissy Houlahan, a former Air Force officer.
“From our positions on the Intelligence, Armed Services, and Foreign Affairs Committees, we have consistently pushed for Israel to shift its military strategy —there has been no significant change,” the letter says. “We have dedicated our lives to national security and believe our nation’s values are a source of credibility and power. Some of us also spent years fighting America’s war on terror. We know from personal and often painful experience that you can’t destroy a terror ideology with military force alone. And it can, in fact, make it worse.”
The letter concludes: “We urge you to continue to use all our leverage to achieve an immediate and significant shift of military strategy and tactics in Gaza.”
OK, so, they’re recommendations for that shift in strategy and tactics is what, exactly? You can see the whole thing on Crow’s webpage, and it doesn’t really offer any more than in the above CBS News article. A tweet from Crow is about as detailed as it gets
The Israel-Hamas hostage deal & humanitarian pause is a positive step. I applaud Biden admin for helping negotiate the deal.
Hamas must free all remaining hostages. We also need a massive surge of aid to Gaza including food / fuel / water.
Additionally, there must be a shift…

Crow’s commanding officer would have raked him over the coals for such a little plan. Your boss in your job would go ballistic of what amounts to writing a few ideas on a sticky note. Notice that was 11/20, and almost a month later there’s zero more detail from him and these supposed in the know folks.
Remember, these are the same folks who want to give tons of material and money, most of which is unaccounted for, to Ukraine.
Translation: The House Democrats, especially in those marginal seats, are scared [insert slang term for feces here]less that the #woke won’t vote for them.
The Truth: House Democrats with backgrounds in national security disagree with Israel’s strategy in Gaza, thinking it is counterproductive for the security of both Israel and America.
No doubt, 2024 MAGAts will claim these Representatives are pro-Hamas, anti-Semitic, yada, yada, yada… Four of these Representatives served in the US military, the other two are former CIA analysts.
Representative Elissa Slotkin is Jewish and is running for the Senate from MI in 2024.
Even after 2020 gerrymandering, Representative Abigail Spanberger won the 2022 election with 52%.
Representative Mikie Sherrill retained her 2022 seat with 59%.
Does Mr Dana have evidence these moderate Representatives are in marginal seats and are scared shitless?
Mr Dana has made clear he feels Netanyahu/Israel should exterminate the Gazans “because WWII Germany” where the allies killed less than 1% of German civilians. With fire-bombing, Fat Man and Little Boy the US killed just over 1% of Japanese. Both Germany and Japan surrendered. Netanyahu has already killed about 1% of Gazans with the Gaza bombings.
Mr Netanyahu has little concern for the hostages. The IDF has killed more escaped hostages than they did Hamas terrorists on Oct 7. Where was the IDF that day?
Netanyahu didn’t kill anybody, genocide joe biden did by not putting a swift end to this war. It was his war to continue or to stop and he decided to continue. I guess he thinks it’s a benefit going into a election.
Besides why aren’t you concerned about genocide joe sending all these Ukrainians to death? The Ukrainians are about three to six months from surrender and they’ve lost hundreds of thousands of people. Of course that’s OK with you because they were white people. But the Nazis running the country are still getting paid by our tax money funneled in by genocide joe. Of course Nazis being socialist you’re for them too.
I used to think that politicians and the media know nothing. Then I started reading your comments here and realized that the person who really knows absolutely nothing is you. You read some leftist rag and because you see it on the Internet you believe it then you repeat it here and you sound like a complete freaking moron saying something is stupid has the idea for IDF has killed more escape hostages than Hamas.
You really are an immoral leftist. One would think as fat as you are you could be more than that.
Start making sense. Please!
How would/could President Biden have stopped the war Israeli war?
It’s estimated some 30,000 Ukrainian troops have been killed by Putin’s invasion. At least 10,000 civilians have been killed. Millions of Ukrainians have fled their homeland. Russia has lost some 300,000 troops.
You’re a belligerent moron.
The Truth: House Democrats with backgrounds in national security disagree with Israel’s strategy in Gaza, thinking it is counterproductive for the security of both Israel and America.
Really? They’ve suddenly become smart????
You mean the Left supported our Cold War strategy Vietnam? Iraq? Afghanistan?
They didn’t and that led to our defeat.
Mr Lewis,
Actually, these folks were already pretty smart.
You feel that US liberals should have supported the Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan fiascos?
You could make the argument that the US was justified in attempting to stop the North Vietnam communists from overwhelming the South.
Chicken Little Man AKA I Have Blood On My Hands
Vietnam taught our enemies how to defeat us.
Just use gorilla tactics and the Left will demand we surrender.
Of course we could have won in ’68 and saved millions….
After the TET offensive if the US would’ve pursued the goal of defeating North VietNam more than likely it would’ve been successful.
However, the “doves” in Congress were not going to let that happen.
I don’t understand why Democrats in the USA think the American government is in charge of Israel. They should all fly to Israel and protest there. It’s as if they know that their protestations are hollow but they are doing it anyway just to signal how virtuous they are.
As Israel’s most valuable ally, the US has significant effects on their policies.
Our Representatives and Senators are obligated to offer counsel to executive branch.
The First Amendment allows protest, including protesting how the US government interacts with other nations.
Unless of course you’re a republican who supports Trump and believes that the election was stolen and you choose to go to the capitol and protest that. At that point you become an enemy of the state an insurrectionist and are either shot and murdered or arrested and held in solitary without a lawyer or without a trial or else you finally do get a trial and it cost you everything you own in your life to defend yourself, and you don’t get lawyers and it’s all Democrats lined up against you. The term warfare doesn’t even begin to describe what the Democrats are doing to America.
Currently being a trump supporter allows you to be treated like the masses were treated by Pol pot.
No one was arrested for protesting, over 1000 were initially arrested for violence, trespassing, assault etc
Much of what MAGAts believe to be true, is not.
Yeah go with that, Rimjob, if that’s what keeps you warm at night.
Just because you keep repeating that mantra ad nauseum doesn’t make it true.
