In a piece published by the Washington Post, Joe Biden says that a “two-state solution is the only way to ensure the long-term security of both the Israeli and Palestinian people”. “Ihave been emphatic with Israel’s leaders that extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop and that those committing the violence must be held accountable,” he writes, adding that the U.S. fir sanction, including issuing visa bans against extremists attacking civilians in the West Bank. Biden also says that U.S. allies in Asia “are standing with us as well to support Ukraine and hold Putin accountable, because they understand that stability in Europe and in the Indo-Pacific are inherently connected”.

    Extremist violence must stop huh? You don’t say? Then how about you stop taking money from Zionists and we all stop funding this “extremist violence”

    What a joke. I love how he uses the passive voice to describe IDF war crimes, but Hamas gets the active. They’re going to try and do regime change in Gaza, but Hamas is not the beginning or end of Palestinian armed resistance. What we really need is regime change in Israel.

    As for Ukraine, I think that’s a lost cause and nothing Biden says convinces me otherwise. The enthusiasm for Israel just isn’t there for Ukraine in this piece.

    I’m not sure whether it would be political suicide for Biden to criticize Israel going into an election, but he sure seems to think so.

    I wonder if he’d have anything else to say if this were his second term rather than his first. Or like, if Trump were firmly in prison and disqualified from election.
