The Biden administration has skirted Congress to rush weapons to Israel and shielded its ally from international calls for a cease-fire in the four months since Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war. But the White House has also urged Israel to take greater measures to avoid harming civilians and to facilitate the delivery of more aid to besieged Gaza.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s national security minister, in an interview with The Wall Street Journal said Biden was hindering Israel’s war effort.

“Instead of giving us his full backing, Biden is busy with giving humanitarian aid and fuel (to Gaza), which goes to Hamas,” Ben-Gvir said. “If Trump was in power, the U.S. conduct would be completely different.”

        Who they gonna vote for? Trump?

        Possibly. That happened in 2016.

        They gonna sit out because of it?

        Possibly. Certainly people have been saying they will do that or vote third party rather than vote for “Genocide Joe.”

        Will trumps voters sit home because of it?

        Doubtful.

          I still think he will count on them not doing that.

          I don’t know too much about your elections, so it’s based on previous actions by Biden and the human trait of going down with the ship rather than admit you were wrong.

        Issue is a lot of the states do not realize that Trump winning would almost certainly lead to a dictatorship and think they CAN afford to not vote for Joe. So yes, there may be enough who sit out that Trump could eek out a win
