Biden, who has faced heavy criticism in recent years for a series of gaffes and apparent mental lapses, mistakenly said that Hezbollah was responsible for the attack while making the ceasefire announcement on Wednesday.
“Good afternoon, it’s a very good afternoon,” Biden said while flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris and Secretary of State Antony Blinken while announcing the deal at a press conference. “Because at long last, I can announce a ceasefire and a hostage deal has been reached between Israel and Hamas.”
“[After] more than 15 months of conflict that began with Hezbollah’s [sic] brutal massacre on October the 7th,” he continued. “More than 15 months of terror for the hostages, their families, the Israeli people. More than 15 months of suffering by the innocent people of Gaza. Fighting in Gaza will stop and soon the hostages will return home and to their families.”
There were 36 Israeli children killed on October 7.
At least 18,000 Palestinian children have been killed since October 7.
This ratio results in a perfectly round number of Israel killing at least 500x more children than Hamas.
Ah yes, the classic “eye for an eye” retaliation that Isreal loves so much /s
“500 eyes for an eye” doesn’t really have the same ring to it
their rhetoric and behaivor has been one of . “take care of this problem once and for all”
