    I love how it took less than half a year to return to Washington: Meaningless bills passed, wars raging and the people impoverished. Good times, it's so good to be back.

    Horrible. We should not be arming people so they can commit atrocities.

    The GOP is comparing Biden to Carter. The return to high inflation, and gas lines. Yellin has been heralding the coming of inflation, but the Biden Economic Spokesperson claims that inflation is temporary. In my nearly 60 years, I have never seen temporary inflation. It takes a long time to reach the threshold, and even longer to return to normal.

    Since when is protecting your citizens considered committing atrocities? It would seem to me that is what the Israel Government is collecting taxes to do. If the terrorists known as Hamas were to stop lobbing rockets at innocent Israel Citizens, they would see an end to offensive. It they were to stop using human shields, then they would see a reduction in the number of Arabs killed. But instead, they have escalated things in having Hezbollah start lobbing rockets from Lebanon. The atrocities are being committed by the Arabs, not the Jews.

    Blowing up buildings with children in them is an atrocity, it doesn't matter why it's being done. The atrocities are being committed on both sides.

    The arabs (as usual) are fixing things so the terrorists hide behind children and scream "Waaaahh that are killing children" when the inevitable happens. No one else but Israel warns people before the bombs hit. Only brainless lunatics side with the terrorists and there seem to be no shortage of them.

    Who is "they?" They are what? It would be nice if folks would stop being so coy and just say what they want to say here.

    One has to wonder how many Iron Dome missiles the Israeli's have and if they get to the point it will no longer defend them they will have to ramp up their attacks on suspected Hamas rocket cites and and supply and command sites. These smart bombs will play a key role so good move by the Biden administration.

    If I happened to be a terrorist that headline would scare the crap out of me. Maybe that's the idea.

    Like I said, not a problem. Sounds more like a news report than a discussion, but I guess this has been politicized as well, ages ago. Carry on. Don't mind me.

    Of course not. We arm them to defend themselves against atrocities like the indiscriminate dumb bombs being launched into Israel.

    It is a news report and we all should support the Biden administration doing this from the Iranian sponsored terrorism in which Hamas is engaged in part I have no doubt to test Biden.

    I am not sure when Biden called for a ceasefire since his administration just blocked a UN resolution calling for a ceasefire.

    I was under the impression that for the most part, things had calmed down but it took just 5 months to remind us of Washington. Which was my whole point of the 'aftermath' of the 2016 elections. If an outsider wants to change things, he can't do so from the pulpit of the presidency, but he must hold all of the lower seats of government.

    We cannot allow for 'resistance' and 'change' to coexist.

    The problem is that Biden is playing both sides against the middle. He is sending selling weapons Israel while calling for a ceasefire. Here at home, he is pandering to both factions of the DNC that is calling for him to support Israel and Hamas. He is holding under the table negotiations with the PLA, while sending weapons to Israel. So, maybe that is how you think our President should act, but that would not be accepted of a GOP President. President Trump was berated for the Abraham Accord because it aligned in support of Saudi Arabia and Israel against the interests of Iran. The same Iran that is arming and funding Hamas and Hezbollah. The rockets that Israel has to defend it's citizens from were bought and paid for my Iran. But that is alright with the DNC. They want to send them more money so that they can continue to fund Hamas. And sell Smart Bombs to Israel at the same time. This is the actions of an illegal arms dealer. Selling weapons to both sides in a war. But I guess that is alright seeing as he is a Democrat President. He can do things like that in your book.
