Joe Biden is screaming at Israel for civilian deaths? He should look at his own record in places like Afghanistan first.

In Israel's war on Hamas, an unfortunate incident occurred where a U.S.-based group delivering food aid saw its vehicle bombed and its occupants, including a U.S.-Canadian dual citizen, were killed.

Israel apologized, and called it the fog of war.

Joe Biden blew his easily blown top.

According to the New York Times:

In a sharply worded statement, Mr. Biden said that he was “outraged and heartbroken” by the deaths of the workers, who included a dual citizen of the United States and Canada. The seven workers, traveling in a convoy, were with World Central Kitchen, a charity that was helping to feed starving Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.

Mr. Biden noted that the deaths were not a “stand-alone incident,” and that the “conflict has been one of the worst in recent memory in terms of how many aid workers have been killed.”

The president’s blunt criticism of an ally highlighted his growing impatience with Israel’s conduct of the war and increasing tensions with its leader, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the death toll in Gaza has climbed, according to Gazan health authorities, past 32,000.

Which is nonsense. Aid workers have been killed in war zones for as long as war has existed, and many of the so-called aid workers in this conflict have been actual members of Hamas. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, known as UNRWA, was famous for having at least 12 staff members on the terrorist team who actually participated in the October 7 terror attacks on Israel. Hundreds more cheered on internet bulletin boards, and Israel says there are more than just this dirty dozen.

Just because someone is billed an 'aid worker' doesn't mean that delivering aid is the only thing they're doing.

Joe Biden is the last person who should be pointing a finger at Israel for civilian deaths.

Does Biden think anyone has forgotten what happened in the wake of his disastrous Afghanistan pullout, when, in a failed retaliation for the suicide bombings that killed 13 U.S. service members, he blew up a vehicle full of seven children and three others?

According to the New York Times, in a report dated Jan. 19, 2022:

WASHINGTON — Newly declassified surveillance footage provides additional insights about the final minutes and aftermath of a botched U.S. drone strike last year in Kabul, Afghanistan, showing how the military made a life-or-death decision based on imagery that was fuzzy, hard to interpret in real time and prone to confirmation bias.

The strike on Aug. 29 killed 10 innocent people — including seven children — in a tragic blunder that punctuated the end of the 20-year war in Afghanistan.

The disclosure of the videos was a rare step by the U.S. military in any case of an airstrike that caused civilian casualties, and is the first time any footage from the Kabul strike has been seen publicly. The videos encompass about 25 minutes of silent footage from two drones — a military official said both were MQ-9 Reapers — showing the minutes before, during and after the strike.

That's ten innocent people who didn't need to die, and based on reports since, were good and decent family people with no ties to terrorists.

Biden is screaming at Israel because (1) he hates Israel, and (2) his base loves for him to scream at Israel.

The blame for civilian deaths in Afghanistan started a long time before Biden.

Not to mention all of the civilian deaths in Syria because of Obama, Hillary, and McCain.

Hamas kills civilians when it hits their target.

Israel kills civilians when it misses their target.

Joe Biden is screaming at Israel for civilian deaths? He should look at his own record in places like Afghanistan first.

One Wednesday Joe got his marching orders from Xi and the CCP, and on Thursday he unloads on Bibi. What else did the chicoms order him to do?

“He should look at his own record…”

Nah. Much easier to scream at the Jews. As Hitler said, he’ll go after the Jews because [in his estimation] no one will defend them.

Joe Biden to blame for lots of US Citizen deaths, he’s got no room to tell anyone else they need to limit anything. Joe has blood coming from everywhere and no good reason for it. At least Israel is doing some thing in defense of attacks on their civilians, Joe, not so much for US.
