Buttigieg, Biden Blast Gaza Rocket Attacks: 'Israel Has a Right to Defend Itself
Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Vice President Joe Biden both condemned rocket attacks on Israel from Gaza over the last 48 hours - each saying that Israel has a right to defend itself.
I strongly condemn the rocket attacks on the citizens of southern and central Israel, tweeted Buttigieg on Wednesday. Israel has a right to defend itself against acts of terror that set back any progress towards peace and will only serve to inflame the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Israel has a right to defend itself against terrorist threats. It is intolerable that Israeli civilians live their lives under the constant fear of rocket attacks. That's why our administration was such a strong supporter of Israel's life-saving Iron Dome. Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) November 12, 2019

Good statements from both candidates, I would hope the other major candidates have weighed in or soon will.

A poster on a message board really cant pick on a white male career politician worth millions. Thats some leave Brittney alone stuff you are pushing. Sanders can just write another best seller or sell one of his numerous homes to get over George lls comment.
