‘Over the Top’: Biden Remark on Gaza Triggers Anxiety in Israel
Breitbart ^ | 02/09/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

President Joe Biden’s remark Thursday that Israel’s response to Hamas terror in Gaza has been “over the top” has caused widespread anxiety in Israel, as Israelis begin to suspect that Biden is no longer as supportive of their fight as he once was.

Biden made the remark in a testy exchange with reporters during a press conference in which he responded to claims by Special Counsel Robert Hur that Biden’s memory was failing. (Hur declined to prosecute Biden for mishandling classified documents.)

The U.S. media noted Biden’s statement because of the fact that the president — in the course of defending his mental acuity — confused Egypt with Mexico. But in Israel, the news — which was the top headline for much of Friday — was “over the top.”

Does he actually know what time it is, what day of the week
it is, what month it is, what year it is? Can he actually
tell you what his name is?

Can he grasp that his wife is guilty of elder abuse?

That was my immediate thought as well. One of his advisers probably.

They should perhaps be more concerned that he then started talking about the president of Mexico and our border in the middle of his gaza comments.

With regard to his “over the top” comment, I’m Sonos certain he had that phrase written in notes on his podium.

Sickening that any such statement would be made about Israel going after terrorists all because Biden wants the votes of radical islamists.

He was never supportive of their terror fight in the first place. Welcome to the party, Israel.

“Over the top” = “winning a war.” Joe was in diapers the last time US won a war. He’s never seen it done before.

I hope Israel ignores poopy-head as well—because if they took him seriously Mossad would take him out...

and I like Biden right where he was...

waiting to get annihilated by President Trump in November.
