Biden has to drop support for Bibi NOW

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Lithos (a host of the Israel/Palestine group).

for his political survival & Dem's chances of winning in Nov now depending on it. Blame Joe's self-inflicted wound. The added benefits are (re)capturing young voters and the right to finally claim the higher moral ground. He stayed with Netanyahu
out of loyalty and tradition, but Biden should now exercise the political skill he claims to possess (Infrastructure bill) and pivot, if only for crass, pragmatic reasons. Do it.

Right or wrong there are several moving parts.
Biden SHOULD pull out. Get out ahead of the backlash with why we have to leave; it’s the right thing to do.
Call out Netty and be blunt.
Sadly it’s almost too little too late for it now.
So many have died already that it’s almost a slap in the face.
