How Biden Can Get Tough on Netanyahu

Biden has not yet proved willing to challenge Israel in a meaningful way, but there are signs that he is becoming increasingly frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. In February, the president’s close associates told NBC News that Netanyahu is “giving him hell.” On March 10, Biden said Netanyahu’s military strategy was “hurting Israel more than helping Israel.” Netanyahu has chafed at Biden’s increasingly public calls for restraint, refusing the president’s repeated requests for an open flow of humanitarian aid, and has flatly rejected calls to support even a vague pathway toward an eventual two-state solution.

For fuck’s sake, there’s nothing new or interesting about the suggestions in this article. These are things that people have been saying for years. But since it’s usually leftists citing morality, no one takes us seriously, but when “Foreign Affairs” says it, it’s worth considering?

It should never have been controversial to condition our aid on a country’s ability to not indiscriminately kill everyone.

First he will take Bibi’s balls in his hands, and then he gobbles the shaft.

DancingBear,

Yea, but first Biden will talk dirty to him. “Please Daddy Bibi, can I give you another $10 billion in offensive weapons. No? Please daddy, ok, I’ll make it 14 billion.”

“For you I’d give all the AR-15s of the world to Ben Gvir so he can distribute them to setlers!”
