President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

Might be a good moment in time to have a functional House of Representatives. Just sayin’

 

Understanding the nuance of a situation and what may have led up to it (Bibi) ≠ blaming Israel, it’s civilians or innocent Gazans.

 

GQPers blaming Biden need to be asked which Trump would react, the one who clano president had done more for Israel than him or the one who chastised Jews for not voting for him.

 

Trump would have revealed himself as the antiChrist as he nuked Gaza and the West Bank followed by him and Putin invading Israel and meeting NATO and other Western Powers at Har Megiddo.

 

40 dead 700 wounded as of an hour or two into the attack. The casualty count will absolutely be much higher by the time this is over (assuming it's over anytime soon).

 

OK

Strangely, timeline does not mention Rabin's assassination.

 

The world doesn’t work the way they think it does. This didn’t happen because of any perceived weakness of Biden’s. Any perceived strength or toughness of Trump’s would not have detect.

The world just doesn’t work that way.

 

Based on my limited understanding of Israeli politics, it seems like Netanyahu's repeated survival was mostly down to his convincing a plurality of the electorate that no matter how terrible he is, his party is the only defense against an existential threat. It remains to be seen if the knowledge that if even he can't guarantee that will be the last straw or will rally people to his cause in fear.

If I had an answer for the Middle East peace process, I wouldn't be working in this job. I think Israel has done some rather heinous things in the recent past, but the line between "defending yourself against an existential threat" and "crimes against humanity" is narrower than a lot of people think.

 

A breaking news alert from a Big 3 broadcaster on the weekend feels like a throwback, and not a warm and fuzzy one either. Last one I remember was Biden being declared the winner in 2020 and before that who knows.

Those things used to come regularly in the 80s. Then again I regularly watched OTA channels then too.

 

Apartheid is never a good policy. And how Israel’s intelligence didn’t pick this up is amazing.
