Poor Bibi, having to listen for 45 min to Joe's stories about past that never was.

#5 WH and State work for the other side. The only reason WH has given what ever support is fear of the political consequences of not. That is not limited to one community. Best bet is to feed Deep State disinformation which they'll pass on to their contacts in the ME.

#6 Rep Moulton: Because every time you kill innocent civilians — and we know that Israel has done a lot of that — you help recruit terrorists to the cause.

Yep. If USA didn't nuke Hiroshima & Nagasaki, WWII would've ended in 1945.

#8 As for "innocent civilians," the entire project of the USGOV has been to craft a penal code where everyone can break the law without even realizing they have. So, dickbag Moulton can shut his hole.

#9 Swearing allegiance to the dem o crap party will soon be floated as a requirement to stay out of jail.

Let's see how that goes...

#10 #6 Rep Moulton: Because every time you kill innocent civilians — and we know that Israel has done a lot of that — you help recruit terrorists to the cause.

This is Hamas' intent - create a "zone of chaos" to enable recruiting...foreign fighters are supposed to rally to the green flag after the October 7th terror attack and Israel's reaction.

However, Hamas did not anticipate Israel making it so chaotic, and fatal, that the foreign fighters are afraid to or unable to rally...

#11 #10 What foreign fighters. Hamas expected USA to stop Israel - as happened a dozen times before.

#12 Pretty much all "wars" have become a no-win for outsiders.

Progress.

#13 Never start a two-front war. Finish the ethnic cleansing operation in Gaza first.

#14 Who was on the call, because the Puppet isn't actually the decision maker, he just reads stuff, bloviates and then listens to Jill and Hunter.

I wonder if anyone in Israel is ballsy enough to identify who they actually think is in charge of US foreign policy?

So far your defense forces have done a good job sealing off Gaza so the foreign fighters can not get in...and as a result Hamas is on the verge of extermination.

Re: foreign fighters - there are many Hezbollah Iraqi Syrian fighters that would leave their units in the north to fight in the south if they could get in.

And you know that how - because they say so? That's Arab mentality: a word as good as a deed.

#17 ...Nobody told Bibi, apparently - from Fox:

Netanyahu says Israel is ‘deepening’ war in Gaza Strip, will not stop until victory is achieved

#18 The notion of Biden sustaining an argument with Netanyahu for 45 minutes is risible.

#19 The Times of Israel reports that Bibi denies succumbing to outside pressure.
