General Discussion

Not to mention Hamas attacked Israel with a brutal, murderous attack on civilians including children. That attack killed a higher percent of Israelis than the percent of Americans killed. They knew the price would be extremely high and put everyone in Gaza at risk.

Biden understood this very well when he implicitly compared the attack to 911 and expressed hope Israel would avoid our mistake. It was within weeks that Gaza was in ruins and tens of thousands of people were dead, more wounded, and food very low leading to starvation.

Even had we followed the Leahy act and cut aid, it likely would have not had a big effect on the election. Still more than 40000 Palestinians would have been killed. Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis are all terrorists. Biden sincerely did all he could to avoid a regional war and get a ceasefire.

It would be impossible to overstate the pain, anger and rage of Palestinians here. Many lost innocent family members. The myth that the US can do anything leads them to blame our in power leaders for not being able to prevent what happened.

Even had Biden used the Leahy Act and had the US vote against Israel in the UN, not enough would have happened to secure the votes of Muslim Americans and far left allies. Neither of these actions would have changed much in Gaza. Politically, Biden would have lost even more Evangelical vote.

There is no way Biden would NOT have led the coalition that twice helped Israel mostly avoid the 2 Iranian attacks.
