Sleepy Joe has a no shit Sherlock moment

" President Joe Biden said he told Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing” and that Netanyahu should change his government, which is dominated by hard-right parties." Guardian.

Pity +/- 12,000 Palestinian women and children had to be slaughtered before he realised that. If the US had genuinely supported and driven the two state solution, the 1,200 wouldn’t have been murdered on Oct. 7th either.

Its those who control “Joe” I think that are calling the shots, he can’t remember what day it is let alone make important decisions any more. More likely his military and defence people tell him what to say and do.

White House on defensive over Biden’s ‘indiscriminate bombing’ comments

The White House went on the defensive Wednesday afternoon over Joe Biden’s eye-raising comments to Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel was losing international support because of its “indiscriminate bombing”, and that Netanyahu should change his hard-right dominated government.

John Kirby, strategic communications coordinator for the National Security Council, attempted to downplay the remarks of the US president at a lunchtime press briefing from the White House.

Biden’s comments were the sharpest public disagreement yet between the allies over the conduct and future of the war against Hamas.

Kirby was evasive when asked if it was the official US government position that Israel was indiscriminately bombing civilians:

The president was expressing concerns about the civilian casualties that we’ve seen. It’s reflective of our constant efforts to urge the Israelis to be as precise and careful as possible.

We know they’ve stated their intent to reduce the casualties and they have acted on that. They are making efforts and they are taking steps, but we want to see, of course, more results in that regard. That’s what he’s referring to.

Similarly, Kirby avoided a question about what specific changes in the Israeli government Biden wanted to see:

It’s not for us to to dictate terms to a foreign sovereign government. Israel is a democracy. And the Israeli people get to decide what that government looks like and they did. And we respect that. That’s what democracy is all about. We’re not dictating terms to the Israelis one way or the other.
