“134 Innocent Hostages including 6 Americans are still being held by Hamas, Gazans and Palestinians. Not one word DEMANDING THEIR RELEASE from our President.”
That’s Auburn head basketball coach Bruce Pearl ripping into Joe Biden … and suffice it to say, he wasn’t a fan of POTUS’ State of the Union speech Thursday night.
63-year-old Pearl, who is Jewish, laid into the 81-year-old president for failing to adequately pressure Hamas to release over 100 hostages that they took during the October 7 attacks in Israel during his third SOTU speech.
“On Oct 7th the Jewish People experienced the worst genocide since the Holocaust and we hear more about the suffering of Gazans than the constant threat for survival Israel and the Jewish people live with everyday!” Pearl wrote on X.
“And let’s reward them with another State and launching pad for terror. Your lack of support for the Jewish people and the State of Israel was loud and clear Mr President!”
Of course, the coach is referencing Biden’s push for a “two-state solution” in the region … something he clearly believes is a bad idea.
On Friday, Pearl, who has been at Auburn since 2014, wasn’t ready to move on … and again went to social media to air out JB.
“President Biden saying ‘I won’t rest until we get the hostages home’ isn’t getting it done,” Bruce tweeted, referencing a line from the president’s speech, before urging action from POTUS and one of his top cabinet officials, the Secretary of State, Antony Blinken.
Pearl is referencing a line from Biden’s SOTU … where he said, “We will not rest until we bring their loved ones home.” The coach wants much more done.
“Send [Blinken] to Qatar and tell Hamas leaders they have a limited number of days to release all hostages and surrender. If they refuse Israel gets the green light to destroy Hamas and them!”
The United States, Israel, and Hamas, as well as other involved parties, are negotiating in Cairo, in an effort to strike a deal for a temporary ceasefire which would presumably lead to the release of at least some of the more than 100 remaining hostages.
On Thursday, it appeared negotiations were breaking down … and it’s crystal clear Pearl is demanding President Biden find a way to return home hostages being held in Gaza.
