    Responsible? Is responsibility decided by a politically motivated move by the President to appease the felonious riots of hatred being held across the country? We saw hatred in Charlottesville under the Trump Presidency. We are seeing hatred across the nation under Biden with no accountability. Let the Jewish people in masses go to those campuses and fight back. Fully justified. Yet, they are more kind and peaceful people than those supporting global terrorists.

    President Halts Shipment Of 'Cluster' Shells to Israel

    2 years later Reagan even removed US troops from Lebanon and abandoned Israel.

    So when chief of staff Mick Mulvaney said money to Ukraine was being held back, he was lying? Why did a Trump admin official say that if it wasn't true?

    Well with Biden now saying he is withholding munitions if Israel goes into Rafah. He told Isreal this so now we have a admitted Quid Pro Quo withholding congressional funding. I can't understand how any lefty that supported the trump impeachment for the same thing and Ukraine wasn't even in a war time.

    Now I don't want republicans impeaching biden, I thought it was BS when the wacko lefty partisans tried this stung with Trump so don't do this with Biden. This is bigger than that and Isreal is our number 1 ally that braindead is turning his back on and this should cost him in Nov. God I hate Trump but this guy is f'ing loser.

    Is Biden withholding aid to ensure our weapons are not being used indiscriminately vs. withholding aid to gain dirt on a political opponent?

    Do you think it would be an abuse of power if Biden cuts off all support unless Israel investigates the Trump family?

    Is Biden not sending weapons to help secure the muslim votes in Missouri? The arguments are endless don't even try to say he's not doing it for political reasons. I just watched a 2019 video with him talking about this very thing and he made a point that although they may not agree on everything, America should never ever withhold military aid to isreal because they are our number 1 ally in a region unfriendly to America.

    Do you have a link to the video? You can send weapons to an ally, but be concerned with how they are using those weapons. If Israel just straight bombed Palestinian neighborhoods with no regard, should the US stay quiet?

    Imagine if Biden stopped giving aid to Israel unless they helped him win re-election. Do you think that would be fair since Trump was allowed to?

    Each person has their own perception of the world. If you want to characterize responsibility that way, it's your right to do so.
    I don't think Biden's move is 100% politically motivated, I think it makes sense and I suggested this a few weeks ago on this board.
    Not sure why you brought up the hatred stuff. We're better off without hatred.

    Some folks aren't going to like this story very much.

    Biden ripped over resurfaced anti-Trump tweet critics say 'endorses his own impeachment'

    President Joe Biden was blasted on social media this week over a past anti-Trump tweet that critics said showed he should be impeached for withholding some weapons from Israel if it moves forward with a military operation in Rafah, Gaza.

    "President Trump withheld Congressionally appropriated aid to Ukraine unless they granted him a political favor," Biden tweeted as a candidate in 2019 about the impeachment push against Trump over a phone call with Ukraine that Democrats claimed was a "quid pro quo."

    "It's the definition of quid pro quo. This is no joke—Trump continues to put his own personal, political interests ahead of the national interest. He must be impeached."

    Why I brought up hatred? Is that really a serious statement. Every campus where riots, not protests, are being carried out by pure and utter hatred! The DOJ should be swarming all of those campuses and prosecuting these terrorist to the maximum extent of the law.

    Yes. We think Israel is our proxy.

    But, they carry out genocide in Gaza, ethnic cleansing in West Bank, and attack Lebanon, Syria, Iran, etc.

    They are a rogue state carrying out major atrocities that the US can not possibly support.

    What do you think it would take to make it 1-4?

    So you are saying January 6th was free speech.

    You cannot have it both ways when it is convenient for you.

    January 6 was a direct physical assault on our democracy.

    The protests in favor of Palestinians are a demonstration of a political opinion - speech.

    The two are not comparable in ANY WAY.

    Interesting

    Comer & Oversight Republicans Probe President Biden on Withholding Aid to Israel, Manipulative Announcement Timing

    House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Oversight Committee Republicans are probing the Biden Administration over its political games and manipulative timing surrounding the decision to withhold critical military assistance to Israel. In a letter to Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs Jake Sullivan, the lawmakers are requesting a briefing and information on President Biden’s decision to withhold military aid from Israel and attempt to hide this information from the American people until after President Biden delivered his speech on Holocaust Remembrance Day.

    And in so doing, will prolong the war and increase the number of people killed.
    Joe was near the bottom of his class in college. He's still at the bottom of his class.

    Biden has not gone far enough. Cut off ALL military aid to Israel until they agree to a permanent cease fire.
    Anyone who supports what Israel is doing is going to have a lot of explaining to do to their children and grandchildren about why they would support such evil, the mass slaughter of civilians.
    It is one thing to be against Hamas killing ocivilians. No ****. Everyone is against that, as they should be. But if you then turn around and cheer as tens of thousands of innocent human beings are slaughtered, then you are supporting an action even more depraved than what Hamas did.
    Every politician supporting sending military aid to Israel is a criminal, and all of the students protesting are the real heroes. Our older generations have shown just how depraved and brainwashed they have become, willing to be pathetic little wage slaves, willing to support pure evil, because they have lost all sense of morality, replaced by blind party loyalty. No one older than 40
    Only 4,000 members of Hamas attacked on October 7th, so that is obviously not true. the hostages Israel is holding oncludes "dozens of women and scores of children". Women and children being held indefinitely, with no charges, no court hearings. Those are hostages.
