The White House on Tuesday indicated an Israeli strike that killed dozens of Palestinians in Rafah did not cross a “red line” that would lead to a change in U.S. policy.
Multiple administration officials in press briefings on Tuesday described the images out of Rafah as “heart-breaking,” “tragic,” and “horrific.” But there was no sign of an impending policy change as a result because it was an airstrike and not a major ground operation.
Biden is working hard to lose in November and I don’t understand it at all.
When did Israeli support become the most important thing in the world?
I’m at a loss here. The consequences if he loses are unthinkable. Just denounce Israel and their actions for the love of god. I know it’s a complex issue, but we can’t afford complexity at this stage of the game. Walk it back in December.
It really isn’t a complex issue. They are committing genocide. The Palestinians have faced ethnic cleansing since 1948. Israel is an ethno state and ethno states are bad.
This election should be a layup but Biden is going to fuck us all because he inexplicably loves Netanyahu. I’m voting for the asshole enthusiastically, because the republicans literally tried a coup last time, but I’m going to be pissed off at Biden for losing.
Or, you know, don’t. That works too.
Shh, don’t tell him that! Think about what happens when Biden reads our comments! What then, Zehzin?!?!
He knows he won’t live to see the consequences and if he can trigger the End Of Times Zionists believe in, why not?
He’s a self proclaimed zionist https://www.reuters.com/world/us/i-am-zionist-how-joe-bidens-lifelong-bond-with-israel-shapes-war-policy-2023-10-21/
He seems to think anything they do is just fine and for the cause no matter how much it hurts others, the USA or even the image of Israel…
A large segment of the US population is still extremely anti-Muslim and think they are all terrorists, especially those at the center and center-right. I’ve met numerous supposed “centrist democrats” that think we should turn every Muslim country to glass.
It never was. Israel is pretty much the last thing on most voters’ minds.
Are there more dollars being contributed to his campaign from pro-Israel donors than anti-genocide donors?
There’s actually been articles about that. Apparently it’s super important to the “mega” donors, but small to mid sized donors are writing letters telling him to stop support. Combined with polling in the majority among his base it paints a mostly clear picture that those Mega Donors are who he listens to. The only thing I haven’t seen is battleground state polling. It’s entirely possible their strategy depends on a certain state and that state considers supporting Israel a necessity.
What kind of a mind fuck would it be if Biden was the first modern democrat to win without the popular vote?
Israeli PACs are currently pumping EVERY dollar available into every politician available and aren’t gonna stop until every Palestinian is dead.
Follow the money. Israel is an R&D hub with large investments from American companies. We also don’t want their tech going to an unfriendly nation.
I work in R&D and we occasionally acquire startups from Israel. We literally have someone employed in/from Israel scouting the startup scene for acquisitions and joint ventures.
Biden is unsuccessfully trying to make everyone happy in a situation where that is impossible. Its very clear its profits over people when forced into choice.
