The left does not want Hamas to be defeated.
And so, Joe Biden has declared, effectively, that he is not his own man. How else to understand this report in the May 19 lead story in the New York Times: "President Biden, who had publicly supported Israel's right to defend itself, privately warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel that he could not deter growing pressure from the international community and American politicians for much longer..."? This bizarre assertion serves, certainly, to negate Israel's right to defend itself.
The jejune nature of the not-so-well-meaning statements on Israel is made manifest by the absence of third-party condemnation of the inhuman practice of Hamas firing rockets at Israel. The result: this sorry, deplorable comment attributed to Biden using the "pressure" from the usual anti-Israel suspects to place a time limit on Israel's right to self-defense.
Interestingly, if Biden had waited a few days before threatening Israel with a self-defense time limit, he could have read an accurate description of Hamas in, of all places, the Thomas L. Friedman column in the May 19 Times: "For Trump, Hamas and Bibi, It is Always Jan. 6." Let's not focus on this absurd attempt by Friedman to dredge up another bit of anti-Trump demonization. Instead, let's turn our attention to his statement summarizing what Hamas is all about: "an Islamo-fascist organization without a shred of democratic fiber that is dedicated to destroying the Jewish state and imposing a Tehran-like Islamic regime in Palestine..."
Mr. Biden, did you read that? You are about to demand a halt to the exercise of self-defense by Israel against an organization "dedicated" to its destruction, and, since May 10, that has fired more than 3000 rockets against civilian targets in the Jewish state.

The folks who voted for biden are getting what they voted for (good and hard). 77% of american jews voted for biden.
As serious as the situation in Israel is, there’s some entertainment value in watching Biden try to ride two horses with one butt. We just didn’t have all of these problems with Trump.
Iran and Hamas is taking advantage of the “Biden Window” when the USA is run by seniles and children.
It is really amazing that when given two clear choices, one good and one evil, the left always seems to choose evil.
Joe do you not fear God?
What is Israel to do? Jews helped defeat Trump with their Democratic Party Support. What will Biden do? Cut Israel off from all aid? Give Billions to Iran and Hamas? Blockade Israel? Attack Synagogues in the USA with BLM supporters? What will the Israelis do—move on Biden? Cut a deal with Putin? They are behind the eight ball.
Hey, c’mon, man!
That’s all he’s got. Ultimately, I think Biden will just declare tepid support for Israel while expressing “concern” over the proportionality of response. “They have the right to defend themselves, BUT ...” The Squad will throw in with Hamas. Neocons will try to figure out who we should invade.
Harris will do the Joker laugh.

American Jews don’t care about Israel like they did in past years.
