Inside Biden’s Israel Balancing Act

Posted on by CNN

As Israel moves troops into Gaza and continues to launch airstrikes as retaliation for the deadly Oct. 7 Hamas terror attack, thousands of civilians remain in the crosshairs. What does that mean for US support of Israel? In today’s episode, we explore how President Joe Biden is weighing humanitarian concerns with fears of a wider war in the region.

    A mix of biased information, selective distortions, and misrepresentations, are used to support Israel's occupation in Gaza to kill more children. It's a form of disgrace.

    The US should not be having these types of demonstrations in our country. Now we all know who all those migrants were coming over our southern border and where they went. Remember all those young guys coming every day into our southern border? Here they are and this is the reason theyre here. And the gals too with them. A good many of them were these demonstrators. Hamas was planning to attack Israel for a long time. They had to get their peeps in our country to make these demonstrations. This is them.

    "a heckler"? That was a member of Jewish Voice for Peace, a respected organization that interrupted Biden. Anti-semitism is bad but there is no comparison to what palestinians are experiencing. Even jewish people are getting arrested for expressing their support to Gaza and to a ceasefire. Also a palestinian-american child was killed by a Israel supporter, at the time where 10 000 inoccent civilians are killed in Gaza. Biden's is going to lose to Trump if the genocide continues (which is tragic in itself), though the harm for letting the genocide happen may already have destroyed his chances. If you can't tell Israel them what to do, then stop funding them, stop being allied with them, problem solved, true neutrality.

    All of the hate seems to be coming from the left. Why are the Democrats always accusing others of racism while they attend massive anti-Semitic protests?
    These current left wing anti-Israel protests look similar to the protests of 1930's Germany.

    It is real. We use to support all of them. We USED to support Israel. They have lost all credit, all support. We can see it everywhere. Everyone who learned the truth and sees the facts is doing 360 and never going back. Even reporters covering Gaza are changing and are starting to report the truth

    I wonder why CNN doesn't put some of their faces to these words. Are your journalists cowards to tell the truth, will they lose their jobs because of the Jewish influence at cnn? I've watched CNN since it was on the air the first day. Now I have to go scrounging through the internet to find the truth because CNN forgot how to tell it

    CNN misrepresents the whole thing right off the bat by saying Biden's balancing act, he came out with a full-throated response that we fully support israel, and didn't even mention the Palestinian people, how is that a balancing act, that's dropping a rock on the head of the Palestinians with the help of the Jews he hasn't balancing anything he's a religious bigot zealot and a Zionist

    It really breaks my heart. We genuinely believed in our president. We respected him, supported him and even defended him in conversations all the time. He was always about understanding the feelings of others. The sounds of children and women crying, the faces of desperate grandmothers, young men frozen on the street surrounded by destruction, the angel faces of little girls and boys peeking from under the crumbles AND THE RED STAINS of blood left on the ground from the bombs. It breaks me. I wake up crying and knowing that our taxes are making it happen, it makes it worse
