POTATUS: "Don't go to Rafah"

[jon-nyc]

They were in fact killed as Israeli forces were entering the area.

Not to blame Israel for their deaths but this is hardly evidence that Biden’s advice was bad.

Fair enough.

Do you think they'd have been released if his advice had been followed? Something tells me...no.

[jon-nyc]

Actually the editorializing in the Israeli press today is that, had Netanyahu not insisted on controlling the Philadelphi corridor, they would have been released in the deal that fell apart last month.

I can’t weigh in on that question but I can say that tying this to Biden seems a little desperate. Maybe even disrespectful.

At least I didn't call for him to be caged.

[jon-nyc]

Not disrespectful to Biden. But maybe when we learn that six young hostages were murdered our response shouldn’t be ‘how can we use this for our political advantage?’

(Not accusing you of the latter, but the website you lifted it from)

More photos from tonight’s protest.

I don't think that's all about him. I think a lot of the American public think...

1. Biden screwed the pooch on the Afghanistan withdrawal.
2. Hamas attacked Israel because they had the weapons, infrastructure and intelligence to do so. A lot of that was because Biden freed up a lot of Iranian money.
3. Biden has also obviously been going downhill for awhile. Many think Hamas chose this point in his presidency because of his limited faculties and an apparent waning support for Israel.
4. A lot of people wonder who is running the country. From the Dem convention, to pictures of Biden sleeping on the beach, to Kamala-lama-ding-dong's campaign trips, who is in the Whitehouse?

[George K]

I haven't followed the negotiations closely.

What is Israel demanding? what is Hamas refusing?

Wow.

No, he made it all about Border Czar, Last Person in the Room, Vice President Harris and Joe “Put a Lid on the Day” Biden.

[jon-nyc]

He made it all about his campaign.

He didn’t talk about his campaign at all, just their incompetence.

[jon-nyc]

He wasn’t talking about his campaign, he was acting it out. AKA campaigning.

[jon-nyc]

Seems like waiting until shiva was over before exploiting their deaths for political purposes could be a norm.

[LuFins Dad]

Political Campaigning Norms are so 1996.
