Biden Sharpens Criticism of Israel, Calling Gaza Response ‘Over the Top’

jesus, what an extremely late understatement

Judge a man by his actions, not by his words.

I hope the ICJ takes the US, UK, Germany and other genocide enablers to the trial too.

“There are a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying,” the president said in a session with reporters.

Gee, then maybe you shouldn't have cut funding to the biggest single relief agency in the area just because Israel told you to (archive part 1, part 2), you fucking clod

e; Six pages of evidence (archive) about 12 people in an organization of 13000 that we probably didn't even see (archive) and a bunch of disinformation from Israeli mouthpieces was all it took

Biden is SO CRITICAL of Israel that he's ready to send them BILLIONS more dollars without Congressional Approval! THAT will teach Israel to STOP!

Next he will tell them to knock it off. That will show them for sure.

“over the top” is a bit tame in my opinion. i would frankly go as far as to say what they’re doing is “not cool”, maybe even “uncalled for”

Stop talking and pull the aid. Nothing Biden says on the subject matters while he's still sending them aid.

I suppose a bowling ball is perhaps sharper than a soggy mattress -_-

*finger wagging strengthens, stern look intensifies*

*wink* *nod* [keeps sending Israel bombs to use against civilians in Gaza]

What he needs to say is, “You’ve had your fun. Stop now. If not, we’ll invade.”

Well Americans, prepare for Isreal to interfere with your elections.

Are we continuing on the series for Biden's campaign ads?

"You all thought he was supporting genocide but look he is slapping Israel's wrist! There you go, now you can vote for him with a clear conscience"

This sounds like the setup to an Onion article: "Biden calls Israel's response to Gaza, 'over the top.' Says that bombing of refugee camps, 'a bit much,' and the famine cause by aid blockades, 'really cringe.' At press time, President Biden was signing a bipartisan deal to send the Israeli military $20 billion in weapons."

• Provides political, military, and economic support for Israel after they were attacked horrifically. Refuses to set any limits or conditions upon said support
• Gets taken for a ride by the hardline zealots who see this as their best chance to crush Gaza completely, and already have high level government and cabinet ministers attending & hosting talks to annex Gaza in part or completely
• Cannot undo what he has done in the name of geopolitics, increasingly is getting hammered by Muslim voters in the US at large, and voters across the spectrum who sympathize with the Palestinian civilians, and a growing rebellion within his own party

There was a moral imperative in 1948 & 1967 to support Israel against outside aggression who openly stated they wanted to end Israel. There’s now a moral imperative to protect Gazans and their land as was agreed to in Oslo II.

Enjoy your mess Joe, you sleepwalked into this one, crisis by crisis by believing Bibi unconditionally until very recently. Because now Egypt is getting testy:

Netanyahu’s words have also alarmed Egypt which has said that any ground operation in the Rafah area or mass displacement across the border would undermine its 40-year-old peace treaty with Israel. The mostly sealed Gaza-Egypt border is also the main entry point for humanitarian aid.

That’s a big fucking issue, if Egypt is throwing that language around I doubt Jordan is far behind them. I’ll say it again, is the alliance with Israel worth it, if it jeopardizes US relations with literally every other nation in the gulf?

Wow he said a slightly negative sentence about the terrorists he promised to limitlessly fund that genocides brown people. If anybody was wondering why he's unpopular it's this shit.

I had nothing to do with it, damnit.

I think it was the great philosopher Eric Cartman who said it best

“You people who are for the war, you need the protesters. Because they make the country look like it's made of sane, caring individuals. And you people who are anti-war, you need these flag-wavers, because, if our whole country was made up of nothing but soft pussy protesters, we'd get taken down in a second. That's why the founding fathers decided we should have both. It's called "having your cake and eating it too."

Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely a soft pussy protestor, but Biden is clearly having his cake and eating it too.

The administration is clearly over Netanyahu, Blinken had some pretty strong comments on this week’s trip. He also met with Gantz, Eisenkot and Lapid so they’re clearly looking at the post-Netanyahu era.

Directly after that sentence he proceeded to say in this short video:

He convinced the president of Mexico, Sisi to open the gate to allow humanitarian material into Gaza.

No shit

He also said that the Palestinians and Israelis have one dream, one wish...

I'm having flashbacks to HRC's "Cut it out" moment. What a bunch of losers.

Is he irked yet? Because when Brandon gets irked, nothing happens.

Listened to the entire speech. He sounded like a disoriented muppet and he spent most of it defending himself... poorly. He sounded tilted and petty trying to answer questions from the reporters. He defended accusations of memory issues by sounding even more incompetent and citing the wrong country when talking about the middle east negotiations.

And the NY Times biggest takeaway was one line about the Israeli response in Gaza. This is why people shouldn't trust journalists. You're better off just finding primary sources and drawing your own conclusions.

Remember that we Iranians will soon force murrikunt out of middle east and whatever unfortunate president is there will be the clown of history. It just takes one more idiot like Trump to make a 'mistake' like killing Soleimani for Iran to gather enough support to storm American bases with the ballistic missles it sends satellites to space with. All the filthy American soldiers will be reduced to dust.

You guys are aware that if he cuts funding to Israel, he 100% loses the election, right? He's not funding Israel for the funzies, or because he just loves genocide. So why do you keep demanding he cut funding?

In the same statement, he also calls El-Sisi president of Mexico. This comes also after he said that Hamas' response to the deal was "over the top" two days ago. Not sure if what he even said today has any bearing at all considering it's safe to assume that he doesn't know which country is which. What's ironic is that just before that he said "my memory is good".
