The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.
He needs to keep his mouth shut on it. It’s not a US fight. Don’t pick a side.
The only correct side to choose is that of the civilians on both sides.
Give Gaza an Iron Dome!
They can’t really give Gaza something they don’t have. The iron dome is an Israeli developed system, not the US.
The iron dome doesn’t work fast enough to take out Hamas’s failed rockets safely.
The implication being that the only people firing munitions is Hamas. Very cute.
The implication being that the only people firing unguided munitions in Gaza is Hamas.
Iron Dome isn’t an AA system, it’s not SAM. It’s not going to stop airstrikes. It stops unguided munitions, and it does so after the munitions have reached their apex.
Alright, let’s even the playing field. Give Hamas guided munitions.
Talk to their military backers in Iran. Iran has them, they choose not to give them.
Additionally, you know that Hamas would intentionally hit civilian targets in Israel with guided munitions right?
Sure, the threat might keep Israel in check instead of committing genocide
Strongly agree
And to that end, preventing regional war would be helpful. Although, that itself, is problematic and pulls the US deeper into this.
Israel is using rockets that are made in the USA and paid for by US taxpayers to commit a genocide.
This has always been a US fight.
I’d like to read more on that. Can you supply the link where you read that it was given to them for free after this all started?
Since its founding in 1948, the United States has provided Israel with over $130 billion in bilateral assistance
As part of an agreement reached under the Obama administration, Israel receives $3.8 billion annually for its military and missile defense systems.
Gaza gets money too

None of them should be getting anything.
Unfortunately the US is gonna pick a side when so many of our politicians are bought by aipac. That and the US has strategic geopolitical reasons to back Israel.
I don’t agree with it, but it’s kinda why the US is always there to defend Israel when they decide they wanna kill some Palestinians.
