President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”
It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.
I’d love it if we could stop propping up Netanyahu’s apartheid regime and instead give a bunch of military support to a cause that actually needs and deserves it… like Ukraine.
In the context of US politics, this whole clusterfuck is a MASSIVE unforced error by Biden. The only people he’s appeasing are almost exclusively already on the right wing, and they’re never going to vote for him. I’m becoming more concerned by the day that his handling of the Israel/Gaza war may in fact cost him the election.
Military Industrial Complex GOTS to get paid.
This is why you never vote for career politicians for higher office.
The alternative being political outsiders like Trump.
Maybe the problem is the electoral system that rejects a 3rd party option.
Well, that, and the fact that a while ago we renamed bribery to “lobbying”, so now it’s perfectly legal, just as long as you jump through the right hoops in the right way.
Trump wasn’t an outsider. He literally campaigned on making politicians do his will by paying them. He boasted about it while some of his primary contenders were openly upset that they didnt receive enough money from him.
Trump was NOT an outsider.
bro my cousin is stationed in the middle east and i find it scary that you would rather help non americans
We dont have bases in ukraine
Explain to me - specifically which Americans I should want to be helping instead? And which non-Americans should I be specifically disregarding?
Not you
Biden 🦅🇺🇸
I still don’t understand how you could have possibly thought I was wishing ill fortune on your cousin by saying that Israel doesn’t really need our help here and there are better places our resources could be going
You are right comrade
wat
Shipmate, as an active-duty submariner, you realize that the Israelis aren’t Americans, right? Sending money to the IDF doesn’t help your cousin on the ground. You of all people should also understand that the Ukraine front is an actual strategic conflict, and sending our retired equipment already marked for demolition to them instead is a strategic maneuver that’s entirely in accordance with all governing directives. Why don’t you ask your cousin about the actual boots-on-ground strategic picture instead of making assumptions.
Your brother is a fucking moron for signing up to join an obviously imperialist force that uses him for profit.
By now everyone should know that the US military does not do anything that is related to defense. I have no sympathy for recruits.
Absolutely
American soldiers in the Middle East are some of the best equipped soldiers on Planet Earth. They’re good.
