This is no different than the other 5 times we’ve heard about Biden scolding or begging or setting red lines with Netanyahu behind closed doors, while continuing to send them weapons and protecting them from anyone trying to stop the genocide.
a senior Israeli official [said] that Netanyahu has been feeling more emboldened to strike Iran since Biden’s July 21 decision to drop out of the 2024 US presidential race.
STOP SENDING ARMS TO ISRAEL! Seriously. If we stopped sending arms today, Israel still has enough ammo to slaughter Palestinians for another 8 months. Stopping arms sales wouldn't hinder the Israelis' war, but it might give enough pause to help Palestinian peace.
Well Netanyahu knows he just has to wait about 6 months, and there’s a 100% chance Biden won’t be president.
If I were him, I’d do whatever I could short term to fuck the republicans long term plans of facism.
Maybe drop some bombs on russia. Hell, maybe drop some bombs on America. What are they going to do? Hold him to consequences? The republicans already made that illegal. I’m thinking maybe Atlanta could be rubble…or just ALL of Utah. Nothing good ever came of Utah.
Maybe drop a nuke or two on Florida. Biden is essentially in the position every fast food worker eventually finds themselves in. Nothing to lose, and nothing to gain…except in Bidens case he holds all the power of the US military. Imagine telling your boss that you quit…with an army of tanks.
There is a particular type of propaganda account that likes to insert nonsense into the discourse, just to interfere with people who want to have reasonable discussions. This article has more about it -- search for Peter Pomerantsev; he's quoted in that talking about it.
Of course I'm not saying the person you're replying to is doing that. I for-real genuinely have no idea whether it's that, or they're just a person with some odd ideas about geopolitics, and anyway it would be illegal for me to make that type of speculation.
It’s about 6 months too late, maybe more, but I’ll take it
Now maybe try some kind of fuckin consequences maybe, before another 10% of the population of Gaza gets buried under rubble or dies of scurvy or infection or being shot by a sniper
I agree, but it's all relative. This is coming from Biden who has been a huge supporter of Israel, letting them do pretty much whatever they want to do since forever. This seems like a huge step for the man, given where he's coming from.
edit: Just realized I wasn't super clear. I was referring to the consequences part and how even if we want that, just Biden saying something as was reported is a pretty big step from where we were. I pretty much agree completely with @mozz.

Are you trying to tell me "Iran said to dismiss US, Arab calls for restraint — even if it sparks war" and "IDF says slain Al Jazeera reporter was a Hamas commando, took part in Oct. 7 massacre" aren't fully credible, highly factual, left-center ways of summarizing what's currently happening in the Middle East?
The bot is accurate. Most people getting mad at Times of Israel are just getting mad because Jews. It’s nominally accurate, and most of the political scandals of Israel itself are reported there. It’s clearly not propaganda.
