Blame Biden for Israeli War: Not his Fault nor U.S. either — The Real Culprit is Hamas, et al

The facts are what many refuse to believe

GOP lives to blame President Biden for everything

(His words not their disinformation)

A very long and very detailed story of which I do not agree or disagree with in total. I see selective parts in an unbiased point of view – others are inflammatory as the headline indicates that is “Blame Biden.” 

Also, a short video from VOX with this headline:

“The world will see this as Biden’s war”

For the Biden haters: Chew on this article from AXIOS as a warmup to the main piece that follows.

Original VOX article: Even before Israel began its heavier ground incursion into Gaza on October 27, accompanied by accelerated bombings of the occupied territory, the situation on the ground was already severe. 

According to the Gaza-based Ministry of Health, as of Saturday midday, there are 7,703 fatalities, 1.4 million internally displaced people, and about 19,700 injuries. 

Twenty-nine journalists have died, along with at least 53 UN employees. 

The complete siege Israel declared on the already blockaded territory after Hamas’s October 7 attacks has resulted in three weeks rationing of food, water, medicine, and fuel for a population of 2.2 million people. 

A Mercy Corps staffer in Gaza said earlier this week: “We know that we are dying here; if we are not dead physically, we are dead on the inside.” 

The toll from what Israel Defense Minister Yoav Gallant called the war’s “new phase” is only starting to become clear. Israel appeared to have shut off communications in Gaza. 

International aid groups and press organizations lost contact with their staff, creating a vacuum.

Beyond the numbers of the dead and wounded, the extent of the bombardment and the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza is best expressed so far by a handful of first-hand accounts that were able to reach outside the territory.

Journalist Hind Khoury’s note from Gaza City shared with Vox via the nonprofit Institute for Middle East Understanding said: “The amount of explosions is massive. Endless explosions. We’re talking about an explosion every single minute. The sky is orange.”

Israel suffered tremendous atrocities at the hands of Hamas, with more than 1,400 people killed, while the militant group holds 229 hostages in Gaza. 

Rocket fire from the territory continues to target Israel. But the degree of Israel’s shelling of Gaza and the first indications of what may become a lengthy, intensive ground operation poses critical risks for the Middle East and the world.

And among those dangers is a political one for the White House: It’s becoming clear that while the Israeli military is carrying out this attack, much of the world views Israel’s assault on Gaza as enabled by the United States — as President Joe Biden’s war.

The full story follows, and again, it’s very long and biased in parts:

My 2 Cents: Israel did not start this war. They do however, intend to end it on their terms.

The blame is one sided: Hamas and whomever is supporting them either directly or indirectly as nasty characters for sure behind the Hamas brutal attack – they are to blame and NOT President Joe Biden or the U.S. – I want to make that perfectly clear.

Thanks for stopping by.
