Rep. Ilhan Omar slams President Joe Biden

[Polybius]

I hate Newsweek, but the video is real. Biden is doing a great job with all that's going on right now, she needs to focus her anger elsewhere.

[elleng]

1. Sad there's such an apparent misunderstanding

between 2 leaders I admire. Potus doing what he can, but for netanyahu and hamas.

[tritsofme]

3. I think she understands exactly what she is saying.

She is baselessly attacking an incredible Democratic president, it is pathetic, and no one should make excuses for her.

[Cha]

12. TY.. I agree.. No Excuses.

[ChazII]

80. I also agree with you. No excuses.

[calimary]

127. Yep. Count me in, too.

[agingdem]

20. WithIn months of taking her seat in Congress it was apparent Omar was anti-Israel/antisemitic..

She apologized only because Nancy Pelosi came down hard on her…so it’s not much of a stretch for Omar to trash Biden for his support of Israel and the Jewish people…I’m aware Omar spend her formative years in a Somali labor camp but not because of Jews or Israel…

[madaboutharry]

61. Not a labor camp.

Her family was displaced during the civil war there and they lived in a refugee camp. Not that a refugee camp isn’t difficult, but a labor camp is something else entirely.

[agingdem]

117. I stand corrected...but

she was not displaced because of Jews and Israel...

[madaboutharry]

124. I long ago figured her out.

Omar hates Israel and she hates Jews. She has told us that several times.

[agingdem]

125. oh yes...my parents were Holocaust survivors...

anticipating an American Hitler, we had a packed suitcase under our beds, ready to make our escape...

Maya Angelou was a very wise woman..

[TheBlackAdder]

78. Gaza's leaders said betweeen 200-300 died at the hospital. She used Hamas' 500 number.

[fulllib]

21. Baselessly?

No one should make excuses for genocide

[tritsofme]

22. Do you think President Biden is supporting genocide?

Own this nonsense.

[tritsofme]

25. If you think President Biden supports genocide, you probably won't have a very good time here.

[fulllib]

26. Been here since Bush years

Not going to watch this again. Unless he takes action for peace then he supports it. It’s quite simple

[Cha]

33. No you're Wrong about Pres Biden and so is Omar.

Did Omar Slam HAMAS?

[stopdiggin]

104. President Biden has spoken clearly about restraint

and being cognizant of the innocent.
The problem is with people who will only define that as no action at all. (and that isn't on the table)

[EndlessWire]

110. No, it's not quite simple.

And, what does "taking action for peace" look like? He flew over there at great personal risk to pow wow with the ME leaders, only to be shown the cold shoulder. He then bargained for humanitarian aid, and opening the Rafah Gate for refugees. He has asked for $100 million in American dollars to aid Gazans. The only thing that will prevent that from happening is a republican refusal to approve the package.

What does taking action for peace look like? He cautioned Israel to be very careful. He stated to the world that it was highly unlikely that Israel had bombed the hospital; we'll never know how many Palestinians have been killed by Hamas et al from errant shells and mined roads. After all, they told their own citizens not to leave.

What does the world want from this man? We've got our embassies in several countries threatened with violence (and he is responsible for all those people), we have American hostages to rescue if possible, and we have trouble at home. I see nothing simple about that.

We are so terribly lucky to have Biden and Harris in office right now. He is not in favor of any war anywhere, but if he is pressed, he can and will step up.

[Cha]

34. I'll ask again.. Did Omar Slam HAMAS/! Speaking of

GD "genocide".

[Oopsie Daisy]

122. First: You didn't deserve that. And second: your simple question still remains unaddressed.

That tells me a lot.

[Cha]

45. Yeah, "baselessly".. Pres Biden does NOT "support

genocide".. Omar is WRONG".. and Anyone Paying Attention would know that.

[Oopsie Daisy]

121. I believe that our elected representative should exercise better judgement.

I do not think that any elected representative should be impulsive and act/speak without considering the consequences.

[PatSeg]

35. Yes, I also believe she understands what she is saying

It is easy for her to get in front of a camera and criticize the president, but he has to walk a very careful path, as he tries to avoid more death and destruction in the Middle East. Biden sees the pain and loss on both sides and expressed his concern for all the innocent victims. What on earth did she expect him to do?

We are lucky to have such an experienced, thoughtful leader at this time in history.

[edisdead]

36. Sorry, living in MN I have had enough of her BS.

[womanofthehills]

56. She's not alone - she has the younger generation with her

Huge Rallies in LA, NY and Chicago yesterday chanting

“Biden, Biden you can’t hide …”

If we lose the youth, we have a big problem. This is worrisome for the next election. All these people keep seeing horrific images of injured & dead kids on social media - day after day. It seems like Netanyahu will never stop the bombing -there also are Hugh rallies in Israel calling for his resignation.

[paleotn]

70. She is entitled to her opinion. Wrong as it might be.

[tritsofme]

72. Of course, but she has no entitlement to my support or respect.

[paleotn]

79. Granted. On some things we may agree. But on this one I think she's giving comfort to the enemy.

Not intentionally. I think her heart is in the right place, it's lack of rational thought in my mind.

[PortTack]

82. The way she disrespected speaker Pelosi, HRC and has made other baseless claims. No thx...period

[Oopsie Daisy]

119. It's unclear to me what positive thing she think she's accomplishing.

No matter what her objective might be, the outcome is very clear. She needs to stop.

[Cha]

2. Did Omar SLAM HAMAS for the Butchering

of Jewish people?

[SickOfTheOnePct]

7. Great question n/t

[dalton99a]

28. The Palestinian caucus has never condemned Hamas.

[Cha]

31. Didn't think so.. It would have been

big news and all over DU.

TY

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

42. Yes, "how do you look at 1 atrocity" is her Slamming Hamas

It was part of her first sentence in the linked video.

[FlyingPiggy]

63. That's a DAMN GOOD question!

[Oopsie Daisy]

123. I do not believe so.

Interesting, no?

[BidenRocks]

4. Look at the room

You are not as popular as you think!
We are America
Don't expect us to cure the worlds ills

You are pissing us off, not gaining support.

[tritsofme]

5. If these sort of attacks on President Biden continue, there should be serious discussions about stripping

her committee assignments. Real Democrats don’t attack and lie about President Biden.

[PlutosHeart]

8. She has several challengers in MN.

and some are conservative but feign they are not.
She needs to think and speak to not do herself or the Party harm. She has had plenty of death threats.

[lostnfound]

11. Yeah, we don't need a Somalian-American point of view in congress

An educated Sunni woman who spent four formative years in a refugee camp..she’s a dime a dozen, and her background has no bearing on her unacceptable points of view… just replace her with somebody more to our liking, because we Americans have nothing to learn from those who make us uncomfortable.

[tritsofme]

16. I don't particularly care where she's from.

If a “Democrat” spreads attacks and lies about President Biden, I want absolutely nothing to do with that person.

I hope a real Democrat disposes of her in the primary.

[Ocelot II]

48. She's been primaried before; maybe this time it will be successful.

She's my rep and I've been unhappy with her for a long time on various issues. I'll vote for her over any GOPer, of course; but I hope next election cycle we get a better choice.

[TrueBlueBlackQueen]

64. She's a representative not a philosopher.

She's not there to teach anyone anything, She's there to represent her constituents. She's really pissing me off with her Biden comments as he's balancing a very tricky situation. He's doing a good job of it also

Are you giving here a pass because of her life story?

[The Unmitigated Gall]

6. Nation teetering on the precipice

Of an authoritarian takeover…

Way to go, Ilhan.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

9. Could these lame "journos"

use a thesaurus or a brain to come up with a different verb than "slams"? Everyone SLAMS everyone, like life is one big over the top melodramatic fake "reality" show, and/or Jerry Springer.

If Omar has a problem with Prez Biden, maybe discuss it like an adult, not grandstand with stupid hysteria that seems to have become the norm of American discourse.

Does she really think Prez Biden doesn't care about, or want to rescue Americans in Gaza? WTF does she think he's supposed to do? OUTRAGE seems more her forte. I prefer a mature thoughtful president, over whatever the hell she is. JFC

[usonian]

10. Consider the alternative ...

https://www.npr.org/2022/03/04/1084565893/five-years-after-trumps-muslim-ban

Just one week into his presidency, Donald Trump announced an executive order banning people from several Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S., the so-called "Muslim Ban".

This ban shut out travelers who were already on their way to the U.S. Visas were canceled, people were detained and sent back home, and protests ensued. Lawsuits were filed, but the Supreme Court upheld the policy.

On his first day in office, President Biden reversed the ban.

https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/after-9-11-trump-weaponized-anti-muslim-hate-yet-praises-n1278969

The worst of the bunch by far has been former President Donald Trump. As a presidential candidate — and as president — Trump weaponized anti-Muslim hate to levels not even seen in the immediate aftermath of 9/11.

In 2015, Trump called for “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States” — a proposal supported by nearly two-thirds of GOP voters at the time. Some of his most dangerous comments included his lie that on Sept. 11, 2001, the “Arab population” in New Jersey was “cheering as the buildings came down.” He claimed that Muslims were protecting terrorists in their communities. Trump called for surveillance of American mosques because he baselessly claimed people were leaving them with “hatred and death in their eyes.”

Trump and Muslims: A Critical Discourse Analysis of Islamophobic Rhetoric in Donald Trump’s Selected Tweets. (PDF)

Abstract
The emergence of Donald Trump as an anti-Muslim-Islam presidential candidate and victory over Hillary Clinton is an issue of debate and division in the United States’ political sphere. Many commentators and political pundits criticize Trump for his disparaging rhetoric on Twitter and present him as an example of how Twitter can be an effective tool for the construction and extension of political polarization. The current study analyzes the selected tweets by Donald Trump posted on Twitter to unmask how he uses language to construct Islamophobic discourse structures and attempts to form his ideological structures along with. The researchers hypothesize that Islamophobia is a marked feature of Trump’s political career realized by specific rhetorical and discursive devices. Therefore, the study purposively takes 40 most controversial tweets of Donald Trump against Islam and Muslims and carried out a critical discourse analysis with the help of macro-strategies of the discourse given by Wodak and Meyer and van Dijk’s referential strategies of political discourse. The findings reveal that Trump uses language rhetorically to exclude people of different ethnic identities, especially Muslims, through demagogic language to create a difference of “us” vs. “them” and making in this way “America Great Again”.

Elections offer no middle ground. It's one or the other, at this time, and there is no time but now.

That's not going to change soon, as independent parties have tended to be spoilers.

Advocacy from the left has benefitted the Democratic party, while the far right has demolished the Republican party into a crazed cult.

You must choose wisely.

13. I am on the Justice Democrats email feed

I have been following the Justice Democrats and its predecessor for a while including the "brand new congress group" and other groups created by Cenk, Kyle Kulinksi and their ilk. I am on the Justice Democrat email list and I have even listened once or twice to the Justice Democrat podcast which is amusingly called "Just Us" democrats. The Justice Democrats emails are fun to laugh at and I love the hatred this group shows to the Democratic Party, establishment Democrats and best of all corporate democrats.

The Justice Democrat group want to take over the Democratic party and remake into their image. I also do not want the Democratic Party to be taken over by the Justice Democrat group.


I am not the only person who has issues with the concept that the Justice Democrats want to take over the Democratic Party

Link to tweet

Lately there has been a ton of Justice Democrats emails begging for funds to defend Omar, Tlaib and other Justice Democrats from the nasty Jews and AIPAC who are attacking the members of the Justice democrats. This is from one of the Justice Democrats emails that I have received three or four times over the last couple of days

You may have noticed we’ve been in touch more often this week asking you to financially support Justice Democrats and our incumbents in Congress, as the violence in Israel and Palestine worsens. This is a longer email, but I want to take a moment to explain why.

We are collectively witnessing the state of Israel commit public ethnic cleansing of Palestinians in Gaza after a long history of violent occupation and nearly two decades of blockading. What we — our elected officials, our media, and ourselves as individuals — do in this moment will undoubtedly have life-changing impacts for generations to come.....

You wouldn’t think standing up for human rights and pleading for peace would generate condemnation and hate — but that is what we’ve received from Republicans as well as many members of our own party.

The Democratic Party has historically protected incumbents at all costs — we know this first-hand after being black-listed by the DCCC for supporting progressive primary challengers and facing multi-million dollars of AIPAC-fueled attack ads. But this week, they are attacking their own incumbent members with vitriol for criticizing human rights abuses and calling for an end to bloodshed.

[AkFemDem]

30. Great. Our very own MAGA fringe.

[boston bean]

55. Leftist tea parties, to soon become like a left magat movement.

Steer clear of them. Smack them away. Do not give them power.

[betsuni]

65. Justice Democrats-types believe the Tea Party was grassroots, proof of a left and right-wing

populist grassroots alliance movement (also a Steve Bannon hope). But the very bad mean Democrats will stop at nothing to prevent this because blah blah blah. Luckily, fewer and fewer people are falling for the fantasy revolution.

[paleotn]

71. Exactly!

[paleotn]

76. Good luck trying to take over what amounts to a herd of cats.

The current Dem caucus in the house sticking together like they have is somewhat of an anomily. More due to the fact that the GQP is so fucking bad as anything else. Dems don't do lock step and sometimes fight among themselves as much as fight Republicans.

[betsuni]

99. Justice Democrats always get really worked up and paranoid about AIPAC being out to get them.

So many imaginary boogeymen hiding under their beds... They need a nightlight and a kittycat.

[betsuni]

14. Belief there are simple easy solutions for everything but Biden/Dems won't do them

because (fill in the conspiracy-insult du jour here).

[marybourg]

32. Wow, does that sound familiar.

Reading that a lot on DU lately.

[Kingofalldems]

15. Ahhh--bad things about Democrats.

[Polybius]

18. Yes

She should have focused her anger elsewhere.

[PatSeg]

38. Or learned when to remain silent

Her angry words certainly are not helping the situation.

[AntivaxHunters]

95. We're not a cult

She has every right to say what she wants including her own opinion. We're not the party that kisses the ring. We're the party who allows different people who may not all think alike. That's diversity defined. And that's a good thing 👍🏼

[Think. Again.]

17. Just a reminder...

...of a recent post that we should keep in mind:

"It's what Authoritarians do - Threaten anyone who Dissents from the Party Line

https://democraticunderground.com/100218378581

[TomDaisy]

47. thank you

[Cha]

51. Oh NO.. she has a right to say what she wants BUT

We Also have the Right to DISAGREE Without Being Slurred with Fucking "Authoritarians".

[SickOfTheOnePct]

54. I know

WTF?

[Cha]

58. Resort to name calling bc we Disagree w/Omar.

[Red Mountain]

57. Agreed

She is welcome to criticize Biden and other Democrats should be welcome to criticize her criticism.

You can agree with her or her critics but either way, Joe Biden is still the leader of the Democratic party.

[Cha]

59. Thank YOU!!

[Ocelot II]

62. Omar is my rep, and I have the right to disagree with her

without being implicitly called an authoritarian. She spends more time dragging on Democrats who don't toe her line than she does going after GOPers, and this isn't new. She has been repeatedly criticized for anti-Semitic remarks; and whether or not she is literally anti-Semitic, she doesn't seem to understand how her remarks can be understood or interpreted. She also doesn't seem to realize that in this country, at least, Islamophobia and anti-Semitism come from the same bad place: white supremacy combined with Christian nationalism.

[Cha]

66. Thank You, Ocelot, for your perspective as a

constituent of Omar's

That's what I think about her from paying attention to her statements posted on DU all these years..



ETA to get the name right!!

[Ocelot II]

85. I'm a constituent of Omar, not Tlaib, but some of the same concerns apply to both.

MN CD #5 is fairly diverse, and while there is a sizeable Somali community here, there are also a lot of Jewish people, and Omar needs to remember that she's supposed to serve everyone. I can't imagine that her Jewish constituency has been very thrilled with some of her remarks over the years.

[Cha]

90. Oh I'm Sorry.. I knew better.. Minnesota!

Thank you for the corrections!

[Turbineguy]

19. She's going to get herself replaced by a republican.

[edisdead]

41. Not in her district

She is very safe.

Wish she would get primaried.

[Ocelot II]

49. She was last time; almost certainly will again after this.

[AntivaxHunters]

105. She was not "almost replaced by a Republican"

She won in a landslide.
She represents her constituents who are overwhelmingly Muslim immigrants.

[Ocelot II]

111. If she is successfully primaried by another Democrat, that Democrat would also win the seat.

MN CD-5 is overwhelmingly Democratic, but it is not true that "her constituents ... are overwhelmingly Muslim immigrants." In fact, most aren't (about 10% of the total population of the district). The majority are white; the majority of non-white people are Black and Native American. Among immigrants, there are more Hispanic people than Somalis, as well as a sizeable number of Vietnamese and Hmong immigrants and their descendants. There are also a significant number of Jewish people, who are becoming increasingly unhappy with Omar's positions, which they often perceive as anti-Semitic. Any congressperson is obligated to represent all citizens of their district (that's why they're called "representatives" ), not just those of their own ethnicity or background. Omar won her last primary by just a hair, and she might not pull off the next one.

[Ocelot II]

53. Not in this district. It's very heavily Dem.

She can be replaced, and I hope she will be - and it will be by a Democrat.

[Willto]

40. If...

,,,a person condemned killing by both Hamas and Israel I would still disagree with equivocating the actions of both sides, because I think the actions and stated goals of Hamas are far worse. BUT< I would at least acknowledge that as being equally anti war.

But when you issue "NO" condemnation of what Hamas did and only criticize Israel's response that is not being anti war. That is being anti Israel and a defender of terrorists. She is showing me her heart and it's ugly.

Maya Angelou said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time.” Omar is showing me who she is and I believe it.

[Cha]

27. I'll ask Again.. Did Omar Slam HAMAS?

[wryter2000]

37. Fabulous question

I’d also like to ask her who she plans to vote for. Anyone who won’t vote for Biden in the face of the alternative needs a serious attitude adjustment.

[DontBelieveEastisEas]

44. Yes, "how do you look at 1 atrocity" is her Slamming Hamas

It was part of her first sentence in the linked video.

[Duncan Grant]

43. I watched an extended clip. The context wasn't inappropriate in a democracy.

Her anger isn’t incomprehensible to anyone with empathy and compassion.

I’ll wager President Biden takes this less personally than you. Part of the political calculus is to give congresspeople the space they need with their constituents. I think I saw an article here at DU worrying about how much credibility the president has lost among Muslim voters. Why wouldn’t he allow a little push-back? It’s good politics.

So, I don’t overly criticize Rep. Omar, lest I seem racist or anti-Muslim.

[leftstreet]

103. +1

[TomDaisy]

46. once again ****NEWSWEEK IS RUN BY A RIGHT-WING GOON TRYING TO CAUSE TROUBLE****

[SickOfTheOnePct]

52. In this context

Not sure how it matters what Newsweek is. Take away all of the words, and the video still speaks for itself.

[Polybius]

93. Perhaps, but she still said it

The video is real, it's not AI.

[betsuni]

96. Cause trouble? By posting a video of someone speaking?

Do you mean it's fake? We should ignore it as if it didn't happen because Newsweek posted it? Shoot the Messenger? What happened to constructive criticism, holding feet to the fire, earning our votes?

[W_HAMILTON]

50. Has she shown humanity and outrage over the innocent Israelis killed and still being held hostage?

If so, good for her. That means both her and Biden and have shown humanity and outrage over both the situation in Gaza and the situation in Israel and her complaints are unwarranted. If not, well, look in the mirror.

[TexasDem69]

60. She was very passionate in that clip

Misguided, but passionate. I hate when someone who claims to be a Democrat attacks our President—we get enough of that from the Republicans and this just feeds it. And where’s her outrage about Hamas killing children in their beds? That’s the atrocity here, and those who ignore it implicitly condone it.

[usonian]

77. See my post #10 above. "Consider the alternative"

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100218388755#post10

The way the system works, it's binary. One or the other.

And better to work within the existing parties and exert some influence there.

Trump was ready to battle candidate Sanders, who had the early lead. The fact that the Democratic party chose Joe Biden, who is working with Bernie to make great progress was unexpected. Flexibility worked to advantage.

That said, I see support for violence on the far edges of both parties, and who knows, it might draw voters away from both edges, and to Biden.

[TexasDem69]

81. Yes, we have a binary system

But Democrats should not support Omar’s extremism any more than Republicans should support MTG’s extremism. And to be clear, I’m not equating a democrat with MTG, I’m simply saying that we should not excuse Omar implicitly condoning Hamas’ killing of children simply because she’s a democrat

[usonian]

89. Agree. I voted for Bernie in the CA primary, and wholeheartedly supported, and support Biden and Harris (see my sig!)

If you are business-oriented, read "The Five Dysfunctions of a Team".

Disagreement helps bring issues to the fore, but a team must find agreement before moving forward.

Sports analogies apply.

[TexasDem69]

91. I voted for Hillary when she ran against Obama

And Obama is the best president of my lifetime. And the most disappointing day in my life is when Trump beat Hillary.

[usonian]

98. That was stolen. Any accusation he makes is a confession

of his own crimes and sick mind.

[electric_blue68]

67. She mentions "hundreds, and thousands of Americans" stuck in Gaza...

that President Biden is "supposedly" "not rescuing" is that so?
I do not think I've heard that.

[EX500rider]

68. You mean the Rep. who called the bombing of the Al-Ahli hospital run by the Anglican Church...

..."The Baptist Hospital" She obviously does meticulous research before commenting, lol

I wonder her reaction if the bombing of the Mosque in the West Bank was called a "Buddhist Temple".

[SickOfTheOnePct]

69. I've seen some mentions online

That the hospital wasn’t even hit, but rather it was a parking lot next to the hospital.

Haven’t really dig into finding out whether or not that’s true.

[EX500rider]

74. Well it might have gotten some broken windows, but that's it

I assume you are being sarcastic but if not:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/21/middleeast/cnn-investigates-forensic-analysis-gaza-hospital-blast/index.html

[electric_blue68]

88. I think I get that you're mentioning the "Baptist" hospital thing as...

another error by her.

That's why I put her other words in quotemarks ("supposedly" "not rescuing" )...
because I am questioning what she is saying there.

[my post above was almost the same I just added the other quotemarked words in this one]

[MyNameIsJonas]

94. Her and Rep. Rashida Tlaib are turning into mouthpieces for Hamas.

[questionseverything]

83. I just googled and many sources agree it's between 400 & 600

I’m not sure why we are allowing bebi to bomb American citizens either

[SickOfTheOnePct]

97. Because Israel

is a sovereign state and not a wholly owned subsidiary of the U.S.? They don’t need our permission to protect themselves.

[questionseverything]

106. Since billions more in aid to Israel is being discussed

I think the least we could expect is that it won’t be used to attack/kill Americans

[SickOfTheOnePct]

128. Attacking Americans?

That’s ludicrous.

American hostages may well die, but if so, it will be because Hamas is cowering behind them.

[questionseverything]

129. You keep saying that with no proof

If Israel knows where Hamas is hiding, Israel should march in and capture them

Not carpet bomb city blocks

🧐

[SickOfTheOnePct]

130. They aren't carpet bombing anything

But believe what you like.

[questionseverything]

131. We can see the pictures of the rubble

[SickOfTheOnePct]

132. I recommend

That you look up the definition of carpet bombing.

[TexasDem69]

102. What sources?

I’d there are many I guess you
Can post 1 or 2

[Bucky]

108. CNBC

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/20/up-to-600-americans-are-trapped-in-gaza.html

[Dirty Socialist]

73. Does she have a solution to the Hamas attacks?

Asking for a friend

[brush]

75. There was once a time when Dem pols didn't blast Dem presidents. Sigh.

[AntivaxHunters]

109. When was this exactly?

Because I sure remember reading about Kennedy going after Carter a whole lot & how conservative blue dog Dems went after Obama...on & on

[brush]

116. Two presidents ago.

And do ya really believe this is helpful with a tough re-election battle coming up...especially with Pres. Biden doing a good job overall?

This crap can cost us votes.

[Omnipresent]

84. Maybe, we need to stop taking sides in the middle east.

It is fruitless to get caught up in forever wars, that will never end.

[BannonsLiver]

87. I think this can be helpful to Biden

She is less popular and less relatable than Biden is. At worst, it doesn’t matter.

[dembotoz]

92. ya know i got reported for slamming another dem.....just saying.....

she is a dem in a dem district.......

[JohnSJ]

101. and the Pope is Catholic. In other news......

[Bucky]

107. It's okay to disagree on some big issues. Dissent is good.

And I think Joe Biden can endure some criticism. But for that matter, some heat generated the name of protecting Palestinian rights and interests is probably necessary. They're getting hammered hard by our allies. A good foreign policy needs reminder that these are human beings too.

[TomDaisy]

112. She's allowed to be angry about the death of innocent civilians

[EX500rider]

114. Yes, she should be mad at Hamas, I agree

[TomDaisy]

113. She's allowed to be angry about the mass-killing of innocent civilians

[Cha]

115. Yeah, take her Anger Out on HAMAS.. Pres Joe Biden

is America's President who has Shown nothing but Humanity over and Over again.

[ecstatic]

118. I feel like this is counterproductive

President Joe Biden has expressed humanity the entire fucking time. The US has been behind the scenes trying to halt the invasion. Meanwhile, you have trump's ass out there talking about banning Muslims again.
