Talk is cheap. Pull the plug.

Extremist violence must stop huh? You don't say? Then how about you stop taking money from Zionists and we all stop funding this "extremist violence"

extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop

He's talking about settlers attacking Palestinians.

What a joke. I love how he uses the passive voice to describe IDF war crimes, but Hamas gets the active. They're going to try and do regime change in Gaza, but Hamas is not the beginning or end of Palestinian armed resistance. What we really need is regime change in Israel.

As for Ukraine, I think that's a lost cause and nothing Biden says convinces me otherwise. The enthusiasm for Israel just isn't there for Ukraine in this piece.

Let the people decide.

The Hamas "did not happen in a vacuum".

Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has helped prop Hamas up in order to sow division between Gaza and the West Bank.

Hamas is now a convenient excuse to further colonize Gaza. Israel knew about the 10/7 attack more than a week in advance.

I'm not sure whether it would be political suicide for Biden to criticize Israel going into an election, but he sure seems to think so.

Extremist violence against the Palestinians in Gaza, on the other hand...
