Breitbart ^ | 05/17/2021 | Charlie Spiering

President Joe Biden expressed his desire for an Israeli ceasefire of operations against Hamas, after a growing force of leftist Democrats criticized his support of Israel.

Biden spoke with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu Monday afternoon, walking back his support for Israel’s aggressive response in Palestine to Hamas rocket attacks. The Israeli military response against Hamas continued for a second week on Monday.

Why Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the left do not first insist that Hamas stop the Rocket fire into Israel, the real cause of the conflict? Israel is only defending the Jewish citizens and would be doing nothing if Hamass was not shooting rockets at their people. It shows the twisted side of the left to try to force Israel to stop defending itself. AOC and the left are goofy.

It doesn’t matter what Biden and Blinken think or say; they are totally irrelevant and impotent.

I wonder what AOC and her squad would say if someone lobbed a mortar into their homes?

Yet he just approved the sale of $735 million in smart weapons to Israel.

And paid for it with US aid dollars.

I assess Biden to be slightly to the right of “moderate” when it comes to Israel. His single mistake being giving the Palis a single dime.

A mistake every POTUS has made...with the exception of Trump.

Of note: Anyone who accuses me of being a Biden supporter is as dumb as a box of rocks.

This reminds me of a story of two boys fighting when the teacher pulls them apart and asked who started it. One boy said, “He did! He hit me back!”
