Of course America is not entitled to have any priorities It must supply to Israel whatever weapons whenever however no questions asked. For free!!
ReplyDeleteIsrael buys the weapons from America. America does not have to provide the weapons. It should, though, if it indeed sees itself as Israel's strongest ally. Morally and rationally, it is wrong to withhold the munitions, because it will force Israel to have to deal with Rafiach in a more aggressive, decisive fashion. Rafiach parking lot coming soon.
Deletewe see it again biden doesn't care about israel
ReplyDeleteWhat a dumb remark. It would be better for Bidden to order a cease fire just as every president since Eisenhower did in every Israel war. It is NEVER a question of whether America says to stop. It is always just a question of when.
DeleteBiden has given a Israel a green light for a longer period of time than anyone else. Just think how easy it would be for Bidden, Blinken and Jake Sulliven to end the war and bring his party together. Instead, he is risking his presidency on supporting Israel.
Or issue isn't with Biden himself. It's with the dem party. Biden is pro israel, we get that. But his party is generally no longer pro israel. And that's the problem.
DeleteHillary Clinton, also a regular Democrat, is now a professor in Columbia. Students walked out of her class because of her support of Israel. And the Times article is wrong, Bill Clinton almost had the deal. The Palestinians would have gotten the top of the temple mount and their own country. They will never get a better offer.

The Democrats are split over Israel because the whole country is beginning to disagree over the issue. That is how democracy works. A faction in one of the two parties will take up an issue.
Historically, the Democratic party has better represented the fractures in real America. The key is to empower people like Bidden within the party.
"the Democratic party has better represented" in ripping apart the fractures of real America
ReplyDeleteDemocratic party ≠ real America
ReplyDeletehuh?!huh?!when??what??
Which rabbit hole have you crawled out of
The Union survived until 1861 because the Democrats kept their northern faction and southern faction balanced. When they came apart, so did America. The Republicans were just northern Whigs. They just think they are so great because of Lincoln and preserving the Union. They are national now but they will always be the smaller and more insignificant party.
ReplyDeleteSo? Are you implying the dirty masses-& narrowest manipulating oligarchs- without much care for anything beyond their day-to-day built America? Or anything else for that matter
