It isn't just over the top but objectively untrue. Israel is the MOST discriminate of any army in the history of asymmetrical warfare.

Biden is worried about Michigan Muslim vote but Israel didn't tell US to import millions of Muslims who are happy to sabotage their societies in wars with Israel. That's their problem.

Biden playing to the squad, and the Muslim population in Michigan and Minnesota....states he needs.

Or he may truly believe that Israel carries out indiscriminate bombing. Certainly on left leaning news shows like PBS they are incredulous or mocking of the 1 to 1 ratio or comparisons to NATO in Serbia.

The whole "bizzaro world" universe of the Palestinians and their supporters that have inverted everything....an openly genocidal terror organization lionized as freedom fighters and Israel's military as genocidal revenge seekers. As the left intones: SHAME

Great piece as usual. The zealous sanctioning of “violent settlers”—allegedly—has already been mimicked by other western governments. How do we fight this?

Send this to Peter Doucy and have him confront Karine JeanPierre and John Kirby with these facts.

While reading this I fantasized about an honest, upstanding journalist holding Biden's feet to the fire over the subject matter presented here - in front of cameras for the world to see.

It's all flak, diversion from his corruption.

Turns out "from river to sea" was a terrible strategy.

Give them No Quarter. There's no living in peace with Palestinians.

Biden has dementia. America is over the top having a senile 81-gear-old embarrassing the country. He can’t remember when he was Vice President and confuses el-Sisi for the President of Mexico.

I watch a lot of videos of Israeli soldiers during combat.

These videos are completely opposite to the videos filmed by Hamas militants.

Hamas videos show terrorists killing Israeli civilians, feeling joy and screaming with pleasure.

Videos of Israeli soldiers not only do not show civilians, but also show them risking their lives to identify targets, identify combatants and only open fire on resisting opponents.

I especially remember the video from the tank’s camera, when the tank gunner was waiting for a militant to leave the building until he began pointing an RPG at the tank. Only after that the tank fired. They did not call the Air Force to destroy the building, they did not just shoot at the building where the terrorists were, but waited until the terrorist appeared and until he expressed his intention to shoot at the tank.

The same applies to infantry units. Standard video shootouts, and after the enemy opens fire, he is destroyed by all types of weapons.

Any army in the world operates in this situation more simply. They throw grenades at houses where terrorists may be, and then clear the premises.

Many of the videos that anti-Israeli propaganda portrays as “Israeli bombing of residential buildings” show the work of deminers, blowing up weapons and ammunition depots, launchers and missiles that cannot be otherwise disarmed. And there are practically no people in these neighborhoods.

If anyone knows of another army that operates more humanely and in compliance with all the rules of warfare, I am willing to listen, but I seriously doubt it.

Biden is a dead man walking, meaning his brain, his thought processes, ability to strategize, calculate are nonexistent. America has become a lauglaughing stock- the usual when the USA is under the thumb of failed USA policies

How can AIPAC and others help get the current administration to stop politicking internally at Israel’s expense? On the surface, Biden Et al sound humanitarian but Michael scratches this surface and exposes the moral rot. Michael, what remedy do you prescribe to the vacuous statements you excoriate?

How can AIPAC be comprised of a majority of intelligent people… who are predominantly democrats? The old Jewish assumption that the dem party is the party of equality and tolerance doesn’t hold water. American Jews should be fleeing Democratic Party membership in the droves. A real “ bushah “ if they don’t-

In Gaza most "civilians" cooperate actively with Hamas. There almost no innocent civilians above the age of 14 in Gaza

I wish Biden’s public statements matched his private convictions — I.e., (1) that Israel has no choice but to destroy Hamas (including in Rafah), (2) that Israel is already doing more than any other nation to minimize civilian collateral damage, (3) that Hamas is deliberately maximising collateral damage on its own civilians and (4) that evacuating Rafah civilians to another Gaza safe zone before commencing operations is both necessary and sufficient to green light the operation.

No other way to explain Biden’s continued refusal (1) to call for a creaefire and (2) to place conditions on Israel’s continued rearmament.

So why say one thing while doing another? It may be his best hope of winning nomination at the Democratic Presidential Convention

Would another Democratic Presidential nominee be in Israel’s best interest? Would that nominee continue to rearm Israel unconditionally?

I'd go one step further and say it is Biden's only chance of winning the election in November. If Trump wins, without Jared and Ivanka in his administration, I don't think he would support Israel. I think he would take the same stand as he does with Ukraine. I think that for the US to continue to support Israel, it is vital that Biden wins this election. It is a shame though that he has to do this "virtue signaling" to the progressives to try to keep their votes when the rest of the world doesn't care that his recent statements have been purely domestic politicizing and will use them against Israel.

Except that Bidens cognitive abilities are deteriorating and he very well

Might not survive 4 more years. Does anyone think that Kamala will be as “supportive” as Biden.? I think not

Expand full comment

No, I don't expect Kamala will be as supportive, particularly if she is influenced by her step daughter who, although she is Jewish, has not been supportive of Israel at all. That is a problem. I'm not worried about Biden's cognitive abilities, I don't think they are anywhere near as bad as the media is making them out to be (they did the same thing about his stuttering). But I am concerned about his overall health and his life expectancy for the next four years.

This is an insightful comment.

Biden is a moribund still walking, but barely. Nobody should pay any attention to what he is saying since he is not cognitive of it, it’s being fed to him by a “woke” cohort that is running this country currently. Besides, he was always on the wrong side of the issues for almost his entire political career. Let’s focus on winning this war and not worry about the civilian Palestinians as they are all Hamas in one way or another.

Biden is letting his own country be invaded every day so why wouldn’t he want Israel to enjoy the same wonderful benefits?
