Critics are blasting Joe Biden for his permissive policies that have given aid to the Palestinians after the attack on Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to his people: “We will ... avenge this black day they plotted for Israel and its people.”

"This is not a moment for any party hostile to Israel to exploit these attacks to seek advantage," Biden said in his speech.

Israeli warplanes thundered vengeance over Gaza Saturday after Hamas fighters entered Israel, killing and wounding hundreds.

"We managed to kill and capture many Israeli soldiers. The fighting is still on," one Hamas official said.

Militants were recorded moving in on foot and on trucks, dirt bikes, and boats. One video shows someone flying in on a motorized paraglider.

More than 2,000 rockets rained down on cities across the nation as fighters -- some in paragliders -- crossed into the country.

Israel's Civil Administration is well aware of the hostile takeover of its land but is choosing not to enforce its legal mandate.

Sure, the AP was more than willing to play up the unfolding submersible tragedy, so long as it was contaminated with liberal spin.

Israeli leftists are holding the country hostage, demanding that Benjamin Netanyahu defy the democratic majority.
