(8,881 posts)Hostages in war is almost as old as war itself. This isnt a new idea. I definitely want every hostage found and released. That is right. However these hostages are currently in a war zone in a foreign country. Again, I repeat, Joe Biden isnt the PM of Israel and has no ability to usurp Israeli sovereignty.
I get that youre upset at Israel doing what it feels it can to get hostages, destroy Hamas, and fight this war. I will say its easy to be an armchair general but I stand by my previous comments: I doubt wed be much better than the Israelis in that situation, and American soldiers killing civilians in Gaza would destroy Biden's reelection chances and any hopes for a future 2state resolution.
Im looking at the bigger picture and I trust Bidens current course of action atm
