We’ve come to this: We’ve fallen so low as a country that the only thing that
makes a candidate electable is whatever he says (and doe$) about a foreign country.
Case in point: A demented Biden’s reelection chance were nil, according to the law.
of diminishing returns...........until the attack on Israel fell in his lap.
Now Biden’s suddenly morphing into a strong, decisive “leader.”
In Israel:
<><>Biden told Netanyahu he would offer support and he expected Israel to prioritize protection of civilians and humanitarian concerns.
<><>Biden “formally announced” the “already-arranged deal” to allow humanitarian assistance to move into Gaza from Egypt, and $100 million in new aid for those in need among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.......which was hammered out “WITH Israel in Washington” BEFORE Biden left.
<><>Biden also told Netanyahu that he would go to the Congress with a military support package for Israel of “unprecedented size.” (source yahoo.com)

The concerned Israeli lobby made sure Congress is required by law to ensure that U.S. military aid in the Middle East region doesn’t damage Israel’s military superiority over its neighbors. That requirement enjoys broad bipartisan support and has served as a benchmark for ensuring Israel receives robust U.S. support.
A feckless Biden’s spending billions we do not have, then saddles taxpayers with onerous borrowing costs. Taxpayers’ children and grandchildren are compelled to pay the outrageous bills.
Biden wants $100 billion tax dollars for Israel and Ukraine?
<><>Why does the US have to go into debt for these pampered foreigners?
<><>Why cant they stand on their own two feet?
<><>Why cant wealthy Israel and money-grubbing Ukraine do the borrowing for their own needs?
Biden wants 60 billion of 100 billion that for Ukraine. (some are saying)
The much-smaller portion for Israel is just for appearances for 2024.
