WASHINGTON—Saying civilian casualties were the “price of waging a war” and that so far the price had not been high enough, President Biden spoke to reporters Thursday about the conflict in Gaza and expressed doubts that enough Palestinians had died. “I have no confidence that the death toll provided by the Hamas-run…
Is how I read this statement. I am pretty certain he hasn’t taken this stance on Ukrainian innocents being killed…
Ukraine isn’t the one who wagered for war. Biden is saying this is the price of instigating the fight, ignoring the very complicated and nuanced history. I don’t agree with him at all but he’ssaying Palestinians punched first and that’s what they get, which yeah doesn’t apply to Ukraine at all.
Palestine wasn’t the one who wagered for war. It was Hamas. Unless Hamas is now Palestine, and nobody told me?
So…Yea. Awkward.
Do I look like Biden lol, go argue with him. He’s the one who says Hamas and Palestine are the same. I also am not aware if he told you or not.
I’m not arguing my dude. It’s called responding ;)
I see what I see from his comments, which is ; Innocent Muslim/brown people being killed is the price of war meanwhile innocent Ukrainian/white people being killed is a tragedy and international war crime that must be answered for.
I really don’t expect anything else from a US president on this issue. This is coming from a white westerner, as well. I just hate the hypocrisy of it all.
Youre still mixing apples and oranges. Ukraine is a war everybody can understand at a glance and get behind. Biden aside, the history behind what is going on is very complicated, and people have different opinions. Bidens opinion shouldn’t shock you, he’s saying what US generals want him to say.
It doesn’t mean it’s hypocritical to support Ukraine. They are very very different conflicts despite both of them being unfair and unbalanced.
