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.

        Biden is supporting Israel’s war against Hamas and using that support to direct Israeli policy moving forward. How is this not an absolute win?

              “War against Hamas”

              You won’t care though you’re deeply entrenched in propaganda. Biden isn’t pushing Isreali policy with this criticism, within 24 hours he claimed he is a zionist.

          Biden is supporting Israel’s war against Hamas genocide against Palestinians and using that support to direct Israeli policy ask Israel nicely to stop doing the bad things without any consequences if they don’t moving forward. How is this not an absolute win failure to be a decisive, moral leader?
