Biden has to pretend that he wants a ceasefire...because the vast majority of the other countries of the world are demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. It's a MASSACRE that's taking place over there...and not a "War", like some of the ignorant Americans are saying. This thing has to come to a stop, and if the USA wanted it stopped, then it would have been stopped already. It is the USA that is keeping this massacre going...and now Biden is playing his role as a sympathetic world leader who wants to do "what is right"...even though it's the USA that's responsible for this "war" going on as long as it has. This is "Hollywood" at its most shameless...with Biden and Netanyahu as the main stars.
I agree. It a play/tragedy keeping our attention while the real bad stuff is hidden. I'm really glad I'll be gone in 20 years. I'd hate to be 20 years old right about now.

I have a diet and exercise program that practically guarantees that you will still be around for a lot longer than 20 more years.

Israel (about the size of Nebraska) vs. the entire Arab world. They have a right to beat on their chest.Your post is ridiculous and has no merit.
Common sense has never been a democrat's strong point. That's why nothing they offer up never works.
You people are facing extinction entirely because your party is corrupted to the core and stinks!

I would be worried only if you agreed with me. When a moron like you disagrees with me…then I have nothing to worry about.

Most people think the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan were the most devastating attacks on the country. Nope, we firebombed and destroyed nearly 70 Japanese cities before dropping the nukes. Japan was not going to surrender. Almost 1 million civilians were killed, some estimates are much more than 1 million. Their industry was interspersed in residential areas and it was the only way to destroy their capability. Was this genocide? Hell no, we were trying to end the war. Japan was not going to surrender.

Hamas started the war going on today, Israel is going end it. Hamas is not going to surrender, similar situation. Unfortunately civilians are going to die, it's part of war.

Pull the plug of Israeli aid......

Let them fend for themselves in the butchery.
There should not be US dollars supporting this massacre.

Hamas must be eliminated.
There are limits, however, in how that can be achieved.
Israel - you must either adhere to humanitarian guidelines,
or be prepared for your warlords to be brought to The Hague to stand trial.

Ultimately, Israel will do what it wants.
That should not be supported with US funds.

Looking towards the future, I see all of Palestine being eliminated.
Trump will return to the WH next year, and Bibi will cuddle up again.
They're all criminals.
