56. I think there is general agreement on that among most people.

Netanyahu's administration has caused great harm. However, here we are. Hamas still has thousands of Israeli hostages - including children and old people - they won't return. Hamas has set up HQ in hospitals and civilian neighborhoods. Hamas states over and over that their goal is to destroy Israel and kill all Jews. Israel is going to respond. They're at war now.

I see nothing to cheer. And I certainly don't blame President Biden.
