So let’s do what Rall suggests: Remember that this is what a US “middle of the road Democrat” (which is not “liberal”) does. Now imagine what a totally out of control right wing dick tater wannabe does. Oh, wait, no need to imagine, all you gotta do is remember.
Breeding a whole new batch of Hamas recruits and saving Netanyahu’s butt ( At least until the inquiries into the intelligence failures begin). Aint war grand?
“ARIEL, West Bank (Reuters) – The Trump administration lifted a decades-old ban on Wednesday that had prohibited U.S. taxpayer funding for Israeli scientific research conducted in Jewish settlements in occupied territory, drawing Palestinian condemnation.”
““So you have a war that’s going on, and you’re probably going to have to let this play out. You’re probably going to have to let it play out because a lot of people are dying,” Trump told Univision in an interview that aired Thursday night.”
“Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has unveiled a new settlement in the occupied Golan Heights, named after US President Donald Trump. At a naming ceremony on Sunday, Mr Netanyahu said Trump Heights honoured Mr Trump for his decision to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the territory.”
““Once again, Israel faces a barrage of deadly rocket attacks by terrorist groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad. We support Israel 100% in its defense of its citizens…. To the Gazan people – these terrorist acts against Israel will bring you nothing but more misery. END the violence and work towards peace – it can happen!,” Trump said in a message on Twitter.”
“The Trump administration is closing the Palestinian delegation’s office in Washington D.C., saying it “has not taken steps to advance the start of direct and meaningful negotiations with Israel,” according to State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert."
“GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — In a jarring contrast, Israeli forces shot and killed 57 Palestinians and injured more than 2,700 during mass protests Monday along the Gaza border, while just a few miles away Israel and the U.S. held a festive inauguration ceremony for the new American Embassy in contested Jerusalem.”
“The Trump administration has slashed more than half a billion dollars in aid to the Palestinians this year. Now, the United States says it may cut more money for Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.”
It’s strange how extreme partisanship strips people of their humanity/humility/reasoning. Tell me again the logic of how a bitterly opposing rancorous two-party non-collaborative political system can make a nation strong and “indivisible”.
Gee, maybe they shouldn’t have sent thousands of terrorists into Israel to shoot babies, rape women and kill and kidnap young people at a dance party. Murdering hundreds of your neighbors has consequences.
Pres.Biden pledged full support to Israel when the Hamas terrorists attacked Israel. But, over time, as the Gazan deaths have increased, the President has been less supportive and even, in an unprecedented move, insisted on sitting in on Bibi’s staff meeting. The WH has been pressuring Israel to use less dumb bombs and more of the smart bombs we’ve sent them which will lessen noncombatant deaths. Indeed. Upon greeting Bibi at the Israeli airport, Biden gave Netanyahu a bear hug, which symbolizes both support and restraint. So, when Israel was first attacked, maybe Biden was the head of the cheerleaders. But, now, he is a coach urging the players to hold back for the second half.
I still dispute that President Biden is cheering on Netanyahu and his actions. He has been intervening since October 7th to mitigate the indiscriminate bombing. Israel is a sovereign nation. Diplomatic solutions are necessary. Congress holds the purse. Why not address that?
Biden has been saying ‘Stop Netanyahu’ since this war started. Biden forced the first pause and is working to get a cease fire by pressuring Netanyahu. Purposely confusing the actions, refusing to acknowledge all the facts is simply dishonest.

Why isn’t Biden being impeached for his partisanship and failure to carry out what the Geneva Conventions demand of him??
He is genuinely ignoring his obligations, so why aren’t the GOP impeaching him for that?
Why aren’t the Dems impeaching him for that? Do they think it will look good on their CVs?
