At no point in my lifetime has the Middle East lacked for strife with no obvious path to solution. Biden is a politician, he has said what he has said about the current Israel/Palestine conflict. Maybe he's wrong in what he says, but is there such a thing as right he could say?

There’s saying, and there’s doing; or more specifically, doing little to nothing. But hey, we’re bombing Syria. I guess that’s something.

While I understand her sentiment here, she, imo, is allowing her frustration with the Gaza violence to cloud her judgement about a genocide. Hamas is a creation of Israel.

Hamas is a creation of right-wing Israeli people.

I think Hamas are unreasonable and violent, and Netanyahu and his right-wing cohorts are unreasonable and violent.

Hamas broke the ceasefire in the first place, although I'm sure they were manipulated into it by Netanyahu.

Until people can see how they are being manipulated by narcissists, they are going to keep responding like Pavlov's dogs.

I just don't see it as a simple "Biden just has to do this" solution. I think he's in a situation where he's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. I don't see why anyone who understands the job at all would WANT to be president.
