Israel Brushes Off Biden

 It seems that the Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu has brushed off Biden's demand for a significant de-escalation in the conflict with Palestinians in Gaza.  Rightly so.

Hamas has launched more than 3,000 rockets at Israel in the last few weeks.  Israel has a right to defend itself.  I am told that the Palestinians in the Gaza strip have begun to see shortages of food, fuel, medicine, and power.  That is a natural consequence of launching rockets at Israel.

When the Palestinians want peace, they will have peace.  I don't feel sorry for them.  The Palestinians have a right to self-govern, just like everyone else.  They should quit trying to kill Israelis.

I stand with Israel.  It's a damned shame that our president doesn't.

Considering the massive strikes Hamas has unleashed I am surprised Israel hasn't responded more forcefully.

Putin is pro-Russian
Xi is pro-Chinese
Ergodan is pro-Turk
Netanyahu is pro-Israeli

Biden does not even pretend to be pro-US. Trump was rough around the edges but there were never any doubts that he was pro-US.

I applaud Netanyahu, he is not troubled by divided loyalties.

This would be the equivalent of Roosevelt telling Churchill to ease up on the Germans during the Battle of Britain - unbelievable!

I would like to see the Israelis line up on the Gaza border especially down south by Egypt and tell the troops to not stop until they got to the Mediterranean sea. with NO prisoners. Then rebuild Gaza better than the way it was before they GAVE it to the arabs (palestinians) are a political construct of the UN.
