In his presidential exit interview with the broadcaster MSNBC on Thursday, US President Joe Biden revealed that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu not to “carpet bomb” Palestinians as he retaliated for the 7 October 2023 Hamas-led attacks.
That messaging came just 10 days into Israel’s war on Gaza, when Biden, a longtime self-described Zionist, personally visited Israel.
Biden says Netanyahu told him that the US carpet-bombed Germany and dropped a nuclear bomb on Japan during the Second World War, suggesting that Americans cannot lecture Israelis on military tactics.
No big, not like Benny had been trying to create an excuse to level Palestine for years
“So anyway, here take a billion dollars worth of bombs”
“Just don’t drop them all at once, save some for later “
Wow, I’m sure that every Palestinian is very grateful for your selfless sacrifice. Thanks Joe.
I think we ought to give this man a round of applause for his bravery and courage.
So Bibi is saying the US can’t criticize Israel because they bombed the Nazis (which freed the Jews from the death camps).
How does that make sense?It doesn’t. Jews observe Passover. An event marked by the death of Egyptian children for the freeing of Jewish slaves. The religion has written into it that even the death of children is acceptable. When this kind of thing is written into your thought process, w/o question, then anything goes.
I know this isn’t exactly what you were talking about, country vs religion, politics and war, but I feel more and more that it explains people’s lack of empathy. How you can see a thing, and not see a thing.
