    Between Biden and Netanyahu isn’t all that rosy

    It is.

    You’re taking that comment to mean Biden thinks they’ve gone to far with the genocide.

    “We’ll continue to provide military assistance to Israel until they get rid of Hamas, but we have to be careful – they have to be careful,” Biden said. “The whole world’s public opinion can shift overnight, we can’t let that happen.”

    Biden means the same thing he’s literally been saying for 50 years.

    That hell support Israel no matter what, but Israel not paying attention to optics means that governments may face pressure from voters to stop supporting them.

    Biden doesn’t think current events cross that line, but he’s worried they’re not doing enough propaganda.

    The only criticism he’s made of Israel in 50 years of supporting them, is that they need to worry about public perception.

      Well, Israel is going to get American support regardless who the president is. Trump is just as likely, without any qualms on rhetoric, to send US weapons and money and maybe even troops to the mid east, but first he’ll send them to the American south west to create his own ‘Gaza’ in southern California. So, it looks like America is in for another war in the middle east. Which is another big win for Russia, keeping us tied up there.
