In reply to the discussion: No longer defending Israel [View all]creeksneakers2
(7,497 posts)Joe is doing everything he can. He's worked hard for a cease fire and has drawn a red line for the Israelis at Rafah. After the October 7 slaughter Joe should not have been expected to tell the Israelis they couldn't defend themselves. He tried to get Netanyahu to be reasonable but Netanyahu is stubborn and won't listen. Some say Joe should cut off aid but I doubt he could get away with that. Israel is very powerful here. They recently got 72 votes in our Senate against just studying this situation. And if we did cut off Israel where would it all end? Were it not for us the Arabs would have overrun the entire nation years ago and turned the whole country into one big October 7. That might happen in the future if we don't protect. Please be patient. Joe is trying and the alternative to Joe is the dictator Donald Trump, who says to let Israel "finish the job."
