U.S. President Biden says "Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under single government" and "extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop"

Extremist violence against the Palestinians in Gaza, on the other hand…

I’m not sure whether it would be political suicide for Biden to criticize Israel going into an election, but he sure seems to think so.

I wonder if he’d have anything else to say if this were his second term rather than his first. Or like, if Trump were firmly in prison and disqualified from election.

What a joke. I love how he uses the passive voice to describe IDF war crimes, but Hamas gets the active. They’re going to try and do regime change in Gaza, but Hamas is not the beginning or end of Palestinian armed resistance. What we really need is regime change in Israel.

As for Ukraine, I think that’s a lost cause and nothing Biden says convinces me otherwise. The enthusiasm for Israel just isn’t there for Ukraine in this piece.

Let the people decide.

The Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum”.

Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has helped prop Hamas up in order to sow division between Gaza and the West Bank.

Hamas is now a convenient excuse to further colonize Gaza. Israel knew about the 10/7 attack more than a week in advance.

John Oliver talked about it, about how Netanyahu sent suitcases of money to Hamas, and there’s a reason why Hamas is in political power

Extremist violence must stop huh? You don’t say? Then how about you stop taking money from Zionists and we all stop funding this “extremist violence”

Joe Biden has described himself as a Zionist on multiple occasions. So the chances of him not taking the money are slim. As his buddy Netanyahu says, the suffocating new borns are just worthless collateral damage.

He’s talking about settlers attacking Palestinians.
