doesn't anyone care that Joe Biden is bypassing Congress to send stuff to Israel?? What do folk think about the influence of AIPAC in our government?? When will we get a true CEASEFIRE??

I do care. I object to some of Bidens policies and decision. But the house is on fire, and one firetruck is pumping water and rescuing people. The other truck is pumping gasoline and pushing people back into the flames.

Right. But. Many Dems might just stay home due to this "support for Israel".

Can Biden do that for Ukraine?

I thoroughly object to what Israel is doing and I donтАЩt want my tax dollars supporting Netanyahu! I donтАЩt like AIPAC either. But consider the alternative. What do you think Trump would do? He would never support a ceasefire or the mitigation of harm to Palestinians. You might not like it but we live in a two party system and either Biden or Trump will win the election. And one of those alternatives will burn it all down. So withhold your vote from Biden and see what happens.

I find it nauseating that any money or weapons are being sent to Israel. I really hope Biden doesn't lose votes due to this and lose to tffg!

I find it nauseating that you don't demand Hamas surrender today so we can quit shipping weapons to Israel. The war continues until Hamas said "no more."

I fear we'll ONLY see that "true CEASEFIRE" after the government of Israel, assisted by the government of the United States, either kills or removes all the Palestinians from the state of Israel. It appears the government of Israel will never be able to admit the Palestinians as equal citizens of Israel or settle for a two-state solution from territory that once was Israeli. And, yes, it aggravates me to no end that the Israeli tail still wags the US dog. We should divert all weapons destined for Israel to Ukraine. They are the ones fighting for freedom.

Palestinians are not equal citizens of Israel unless they choose to become Israeli citizens.

I hope that Palis and Israel can negotiate a two-state solution that will benefit both indigenous people of former Palestine. Palis need their own state to take care of their own citizens, but they won't get it by rewarding the vipers that are Hamas with governmental status, or cheering Hamas baking Jewish babies in ovens.

No. I couldn't care less. Biden's the commander in chief and can send old weapons to Israel if he wants. He should do the same for Ukraine.

As for AIPAC, what influence? It's not even in the 50 highest-spending lobbyists, as most of those spots go to Republican business bribers.

We will get a ceasefire the moment Hamas says "We surrender." Until then, the war continues, and properly.
