Critics have panned it as his “Charlottesville moment”


Eh.

No he hasn't.

He has been consistent:
-stand by Israel and it's right to exist/self-defense.
-Provide aid for the Palestinians
-Try for a two-state solution.

Netanyhu totally screwed Biden to cause what we have on the ground today and Putin couldn't be happier.


So, in your world, both Israeli and Palestinian supporters are thrilled with Biden?

Sad, devastating even. Women and minorities in this country, especially, deserve better than what's coming.

oh that's rich.

Rs have just set women's right to control their bodies back 50 years, and let's not forget how much Rs despise any DEI.


Most people despise DEI now, in case you haven’t noticed. This is what DEi has wrought.

November can’t come soon enough


Most people are supportive of DEI. November is just going to result in status quo. The only real question is whether Trump will be in prison before November but looks like SCOTUS kicked the issue back down to the lower courts so he won his delay. I guess we'll see him in prison in 2025.

DP. The above summary is largely accurate.

Palestinian supporters want Israel cut off, which isn’t going to happen.

The number of Israeli and Palestinian supporters are a very very small fraction of the general public. Sure, initially Israel had a lot of support. And then Palestine had a lot of support. Then most people moved on (as Congress stalled and stalled...).

Now universities are losing their minds. Outside of the ivory tower, though? We've moved on.

Why did they prevent the valedictorian from speaking? Completely ridiculous.


Protester assaulted police there yesterday (deliberately knocked the officer to the ground) plus an ADW arrest.

The reason there’s no graduation: violence and threats of violence from the protesters.


And why are they protesting? Because school administrators denied the valedictorian the right to speak on the “threats” grounds.

They did this wholly to themselves and they should be ashamed.


Please.

Students are protesting across the country. They’d be protesting at USC regardless of what the admin did.

Protests have gotten heated. Makes sense not to try to manage security for 60,000 people at a graduation.

So, thank the protesters for no graduation.


They weren’t protesting there before the university went after their own valedictorian. USC could have had a normal and peaceful graduation if their administrators didn’t assume no one would notice they had only targeted a Muslim women.

Self defense is not killing 35,000 innocent civilians. Self defense is stopping armed groups crossing your fully fortified border but Israel failed at that. Do Palestinians have a right of self defense? How about Iran? How about Russia? Does Russia have a right to self defense against the Ukraine terrorists?

Biden has provide nothing to the Palestinian but bombs for Israel to use on them. Biden made jokes while Israel were bombing Palestinian’s hospitals.

Biden has never been behind a two state solution. That is why he is a Zionist. He, Netanyahu and the Israel people will never allow a state for Palestinians.

No “most people” are not. In fact “most people” have been screwed over at some point by idiotic DEI policies and practices.

LOL

Yeah I’m sure it all would have been “mostly peaceful.”

Only ones that support DEI are the overpaid DEI officials. Everyone else realizes it does only harm.
