Subject: RE: BS: Hamas attacks Israel
That's the second time he's come out with the excited-fans-of-war smear. He won't answer you, Dave. The points about slanted newsfeeds and propaganda are unsubstantiated. He won't address that either. As for Biden and his "unequivocal" support for Israel, I think better of him than that. We don't know what he said to Netanyahu behind the scenes but I'm pretty confident that he warned him against further wanton bloodshed in Gaza, as western leaders are going to find it more and more difficult to keep their nations onside in support of Israel. That support is already becoming eroded in the Democrat party in the US, and it's a reflection of the worry among the pro-Israel lobby that they are using strongarm tactics to silence pro-Palestinian voices. The Labour Party in the UK is seriously split over Starmer's recent blindfolded announcements about the crisis. For Israeli people (and they've recognised it), one of their main problems is Netanyahu. A corrupt man who is trying to sideline democracy by fiddling with the judiciary and who was so consumed with his own hubris that he simply didn't see this coming.
