Biden says Netanyahu must change, Israel losing global support

I love how a country is allowed to just get away with killing children and UN workers and doctors and journalists but we condemn countries that do the same thing like Russia. It makes no sense that Israel should get a free pass, all it does is expose a huge double standard

False equivalence.
Russia bombed Kiev for the hell of it, not even pretending there was a military objective. Russia also is conscripting Ukrainians to fight against their fellow countrymen as cannon-fodder on the front line. It is kidnapping children into Russia.
- We could go an have a piss-fight between the warcrimes of Russia and the warcrimes of Israel.
  The US can be the bad guy in one conflict while be on the good side on another. Imperialism is bad, whether it's Russia or the US doing it.
  Also, Hamas are war criminals as well. No good guys fighting there ATM.
If Ukraine had initially launched an attack on Russia and killed 1,200 mainlycivilians, taken 200+ hostages and thrown in a bit of organised gang rape, I doubt Ukraine would be receiving its current level of support, and there may even have been some support for retaliatory action by Russia.
That’s not to say that Israel’s current appalling treatment of Palestinian civilians is justified
- Except it wasn't Palestine that attacked, it was a group disassociated with the Palestinian Authority, that Israel itself funds so it can justify the "war" to favor the arms dealers and distract the constituents of the terrible administration they're receiving.
  The two conflicts are not even remotely comparable.
- It’s crazy. On reddit, it’s 90%
  Let’s ignore how many people israel has killed, they need to kill more, and let’s also go ahead an label everyone who says "too much" a hamas supporter
  Then you go here and it’s again 90%
  Let’s not even call hamas terrorist, more like freedom-fighters with some friendly rape and friendly fire thrown in.
all it does is expose a huge double standard
No, a simple unistandard. I'll illustrate with a meme.
Isreal's main exports are cutting-edge technology found nowhere else in the world. Russia's main export is oil. Western and European Union countries were fine getting their oil elsewhere, but they absolutely do not want to give up advanced tech. Especially since there will always be other countries that don't care and will continue trading anyway.
- Israel ain't Taiwan. What tech do you think is indispensable there?
Russia has the right to self defense.
Do you condemn NATO?

No. Israel must change, Netanyahu must resign.

Action: skirt congress rules to give Israel shells to continue bombing indiscriminately

Words: You need to change, you’re losing support.

Which is it? And can you guess which speaks louder.

propoganda. israel doesn't shell indiscriminately, they targets terrorists.
otherwise gaza would b erased from map in a single day.
- "Terrorists" as in "every male person over 18 + 40% women and children as collateral damage".
- So you view all Gazans as terrorists, got it.
- You made a typo. Let me fix it.
  propoganda: israel doesn’t shell indiscriminately, they targets terrorists.

Strong words from the anti ceasefire country. A real moral stand here.

Biden to Bibi: "don't make the same mistakes we made in 9/11. There's no reason why we had to be in a war in Afghanistan."

There's really no reason why we had to be in a war in Iraq. Afghanistan... yeah, probably not there, either, especially given how intimately we understood how well they had been trained at guerilla warfare against foreign invaders.
Although, that's not guite accurate; there were reasons, they were just serving different, less publically recognized, purposes. Much like Netanyahu's war.
- make no mistake - Netanyahu has his faults, many even, but no country should and would accept the terror act hamas did and do nothing
- Yupp.
- Well Iraq, the first time, yes. They invaded Kuwait which in my opinion did legitimise the first gulf war (though opinions may vary). Though IMO it should have happened under UN flag but of course the security council is forever locked into a stalemate.
  The second war, no. Whatever it was.. Made-up WMD's, funding of military industrial complex, Dubya's desire to finish daddy's pet project, whatever. A real reason there was not.

Sounds like a lot of hot air coming from the guy who bypassed congress to float an extra $106,000,000 so the IDF can use more guns and bombs on civilians.

I used to be a vote blue no matter who, afraid of Trump fascism, but a statement must be made that this is not okay.

He's already walked it back again anyway. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/israel-gaza-war-live-white-house-walks-back-biden-remarks-that-israel-was-losing-international-support-over-gaza-bombing/ar-AA1lqsz4
It was probably just a gesture to appease his moderate backers consdering he's doing pretty badly in the polls.

Didn't he just go all "I'm a Zionist?" And claim that he will never stop supporting Israel? Somehow I think he is being a bit disingenuous here.

Clearly speaking out of both sides of his mouth and it's glaringly obvious.
You expect Biden to remember what he said from one moment to the next?

One fascist to another "dude, can you chill for a sec? you're making me look bad"

Joe Biden is a fascist? Lol

Biden's remarks, made to donors to his 2024 re-election campaign, were his most critical to date of Netanyahu's handling of Israel's war in Gaza.

They are a stark contrast to his literal and political embrace of the Israeli leader days after Hamas militants' Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel.

Biden, who often speaks off the cuff at his fundraising events, spoke at a Washington hotel to a crowd of about a hundred that included a number of Jewish attendees.

The sharp comments came as Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, prepares to travel to Israel for talks with the Israeli war cabinet.

Netanyahu said in a statement on Tuesday that Israel had received "full backing" from the U.S. for its ground incursion into Gaza and that Washington had blocked "international pressure to stop the war".
