President Joe Biden was asked by a reporter in Israel on Wednesday what made him confident that the Israelis weren’t behind the explosion that killed hundreds at a Gaza hospital on Tuesday.

Biden responded that it was “the data I was shown by my Defense Department.”

Two U.S. officials told ABC News the Pentagon independently concluded the Gaza hospital blast was likely caused by an errant Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket that fell short of its target.

    Which seven years are you referring to?

      For now, words out of the presidents literal mouth are as much of an official statement that I need.

      The most recent seven…

      I didn’t think I needed to specify that

        Admittedly Biden is old and boring and sometimes confusing. Trump was a gaslighter whose words also represented the office, but that I couldn’t trust.

        I don’t have to wake up worrying about some dangerous shit that Biden tweeted though. I’ll take this any day of the week.

          Well, yeah.

          The world isn’t black or white. But if you’ve been accepting anything a US president says as enough…

          Saying it’s been an issue for 7 years is an understatement. Which is why you asking g me to clarify was so weird.

          Obama was only decent because of the drastically low bar we’ve had for decades.

            I’m accepting it as “enough” in the very narrow definition that words from the president qualify as a statement from the office.
