    The deplorable and their fearless leader really only understand international relations as a giant game of quid pro quo. It's insane.

    Dictator Biden hasn't factored in the likelihood of losing the Jewish vote if this persists. So, the answer is he did it for political reasons but underestimated the reaction of Jewish voters. All Biden cares about is winning the state of Michigan while not giving thought to other close states he could lose.

    Lost in this are the hostages, among them Americans. Dictator Biden by his actions has strengthened Hamas resolve. Biden likely has issued the hostages death warrants.

    Do you just regurgitate talking points bereft of any logic? The hostages' lives are the only thing stopping Hamas from being wiped out.

    Think this current war is any different than any past wars or infidatas between Israel and Palestinian terrorists? It's the same wash, rinse, repeat. Hamas hides among civilians because they don't care about dead Palestinians civilians. Dead Palestinian civilians can be used as propaganda to gain sympathy world-wide, and to help recruit the next round of Hamas from the Palestinians that survive.

    Honestly think Israel can actually wipe every Hamas member off the globe? The only way to be sure is to kill every last Palestinian--or as it's called, genocide. Otherwise, the terrorist group is like a cancer cell. Don't get it all, and it will start growing again. Which again, it's what's been happening over and over over and over again the region. In short, there is no military victory for Israel.

    There is also no military victory for the Palestinians either. If they ever do start to threaten Israel and their goal of from land to sea is in site, Israel will wipe the Palestinians off the map. But it's likely never to ever come close to this, given Israel's huge advantage in military technology and personnel.

    Maybe, one day, hopefully, the Palestinians will understand victory and from land to sea is impossible. And they have only two paths to follow. Keep doing what they are doing and keep getting what they are getting, which are wars every few years which kill thousands of civilians. Or peace. What the Palestinians need is a Ghandi or MLK Jr. type to rise up from within and say enough is enough.

    Until that happens, there is no chance for peace. And no chance for military victory either. At what point in the current war does Israel say enough dead Palestinians? If you or any Israeli truly think they can actually kill every Hamas member, good luck. It's not going to happen. If Israel could target just the terrorists and actually accomplish killing all of them, they would have done that years ago.

    besides issuing hostages death warrents, more idf will be killed and more civilians too. israel has in practice alerted civilians to leave before destroying hamas controlled buildings and their network of tunnels.

    speaking of not fit for office.......

    "Donald Trump is the first president in my lifetime who does not try to unite the American people — does not even pretend to try. Instead, he tries to divide us. We are witnessing the consequences of three years of this deliberate effort. We are witnessing the consequences of three years without mature leadership," Mr Mattis wrote. (served in marines for 4 decades)

    I know I know, everyone else is a liar beside Dear Leader who has a proven history of lying and gleefully cheating on his various wives.

    Trump’s defense secretary called him ‘a madman in a circular room screaming’, new book reveals (msn.com)

    I'm sure Mattis is a RINO, radical leftist communist who hates America now.

    As someone else mentioned, civilians fled to where Israel told them to and now that they are trapped, they want to blow that area up too.

    You're just happy to see anyone die in the Middle East that doesn't look like a TV evangelist.

    So a link to voter registration is going to be encouraged on all government websites. So visitors to the SBA are primarily small business owners. Not sure how this is helpful to Biden

    I don't think you understand. One of the clearest characteristics of tyrant and a dictator is encouraging people to register to vote.

    especially the illegal ones who have to be directed by the owners of the plantation.

    Yes. There's a huge problem with illegal voters corrupting our elections. Just ask the CyberNinjas, or consult one the 75-100 election cases Trump lost.

    It's become crazy, the baseless things that supporters of a criminal loser will (continue to) put forth.

    And certainly the best way to reach illegal residents is thru the Small Business Administration’s website.

    Civilians are now fleeing Rafah. The issue is, they have nowhere safe to go. Israel has attacked the rest of the area, and there hasn't been time to rebuild and recover. As the article states:

    Streams of Palestinians made their way to Al-Mawasi earlier this week, following an Israeli relocation order. The head of the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), Jan Egeland, warned that dire conditions there, including a lack of stable security, adequate accommodation or space, “qualifies Israel’s relocation directives as forcible transfer, amounting to a serious violation of international law.”
    And of course Hamas is also hiding in Rafah. Using civilian, human shields is their MO. But what good will Israel do by killing more civilians in an attempt to wipe out Hamas?

    At this point, none. It's impossible to wipe out a terrorist organization completely when it hides among the civilian population. And like a cancer, leave some behind, and the terrorist numbers will start to grow again. Especially among the young survivors, who Hamas will recruit and tell them one day, they will get revenge for the damage and 35,000+ dead Palestinians today.

    As a point of information Joe Biden is not the first president to temporarily cutoff aid to Israel.
    Biden Is Not the First U.S. President to Cut Off Weapons to Israel
    The president was livid. He had just been shown pictures of civilians killed by Israeli shelling, including a small baby with an arm blown off. He ordered aides to get the Israeli prime minister on the phone and then dressed him down sharply.

    The president was Ronald Reagan, the year was 1982, and the battlefield was Lebanon, where Israelis were attacking Palestinian fighters. The conversation Mr. Reagan had with Prime Minister Menachem Begin that day, Aug. 12, would be one of the few times aides ever heard the usually mild-mannered president so exercised. It is a holocaust,” Mr. Reagan told Mr. Begin angrily.

    Mr. Begin, whose parents and brother were killed by the Nazis, snapped back, “Mr. President, I know all about a holocaust.” Nonetheless, Mr. Reagan retorted, it had to stop. Mr. Begin heeded the demand. Twenty minutes later, he called back and told the president that he had ordered a halt to the shelling. “I didn’t know I had that kind of power,” Mr. Reagan marveled to aides afterward.

    The “dictator” label must be pinned on the one choice that isn’t since the other proclaimed it and got bad numbers.

    Do it every time, in CAPS!!

    Singing to the choir is in fact an at least a greater than zero effective strat.

    Don't you know illegals are starting small businesses in the US all the time? I mean, all that identifying paperwork poses no risk to their deportation. :rolleyes:

    Civilian casualties?
    I unblocked some people, see the disconnect from reality and get reminded why I blocked them to begin with
