1. Biden sees Israel support as his ticket to re-election. If 50,000 need to die he is OK with it..

   1. He’d still be doing this f it was his second term.

      1. He always liked wars as long as he did not wear a uniform, he got rich wearing a suit.

         1. Trump avoided service due to bone spurs. Biden avoided service due to asthma.

            1. The two have much in common.
               I did not know people could be as evil as they are and I am a senior citizen.

         2. He got rich cheating workers,lawyers,Banks and poor people in housing.

   2. “Biden sees Israel support as his ticket to re-election.”

      That’s always been the bipartisan wisdom – except in my hopeful view “Israel support” – aka ‘directly enabling genocide, militarily, politically and diplomatically’ – is increasingly shaping up as his “ticket to” losing.

   3. I’m beginning to view this more as a proxy war rather than it being solely the maniacal nature of Israel. Although that is clearly a component.

      The US likes to use radicals to advance empire. Like stirring the neo-Nazi pot in Ukraine, and ISIS elsewhere. Since we have been reminded of the Wesley Clark pronouncement/Yinon plan, I think Biden wants to finish off the remainder of ME countries. It makes more sense in that context rather than trading off voters for money, although he is a willing prostitute of oligarchy, no doubt. He wants a world war for empire. It is all that he is focused on. And that is doing a good job for his real constituency: the MIC, plutocrats, big oil, etc. He views himself as a great statesman. He is as big of a narcissistic sociopath as Trump, maybe more.

      1. I voted for him in 2020. Not this time. Hamas’ breakout took off the mask of the Zionist leadership in Israel, exposing its reality. It also took off the mask of Biden, to show the real Biden; a cold blooded politician, with no real morals. A liar. Talk about a choice in November. Who between two men with zero morals or compassion will be the water carrier for the MIC, Big Banking, AIPAC. Again. Worse, a congress (both parties) that wants to kill off the New Deal, EPA, anything that is of real benefit for the citizens of the U.S. of Amnesia. Nina Turner was right.

         1. Me too,I voted for him because he was not Trump.But after 3 years there is not a great amount of difference between these two maniacal clowns or whatever words you wish to use in describing these two abortions.

            1. me too, I never regretted a vote like my Biden vote, mea culpa.
               I knew it was a bad vote when he called Putin a killer, just weeks after the inauguration, decades in politics, 8 years as VP and he lacked basic diplomatic manners.
               Heads of state don’t do public name-calling of other heads of state, but the journalists and pundits were silent, that was my eye opener.

2. I haven’t been this convinced since OJ Simpson vowed to find “the real killer.”

   1. Come on … OJ was MUCH more convincing …

      1. But Joe has a longer expiration date, I think.

3. At this point an arms embargo won’t do a thing to stop Zio genocide of Palestine.
   Nothing short of direct US intervention will turn back the murderous hoard. Whoever they don’t kill will succumb to starvation.
   We won’t do that, thus we are responsible… And there will be a response – mark my words.

   1. But what kind of response? Biden may not live long enough to experience the consequences of the Biden war crimes. Joe must go, the sooner the better. But there is no real competent person to lead the nation in sight.

      Dennis Kucinich would be a fit possibility, but he is not a candidate the party would like even if he were still a democrat.

      1. I don’t know what kind of response but it’ll probably come sooner rather than later.
         The Zios seems to think so too, the way they’re scurrying around like roaches in the kitchen after the light is turned on.

      2. Dennis Kucinich Is somebody I’d support but the DNC would rather take a dive than yield to the will of the people.
         The GOP is no better. They hate MAGA people more than they do Russians or Chinese.

      3. Col. Doug Macgregor (ret.) would be an ideal candidate for President, but he would get the same treatment that Ron Paul got.

      4. He is running for election to the Senate, after running away from the RFK, Jr. campaign, where he was the campaign manager. His high point was reading the Articles of Impeachment against President George W. Bush.

         1. He is running as Independent for congress in OH.

         2. No man or woman with ethics,morality or principles has any chance of getting elected to an important office. It just can’t happen in the U$.

4. “Biden Not Changing Israel Policy After Meticulous Slaughter of Aid Workers” “Meticulous” is one way to describe it but I’m not settled. I can see why an “outraged” Biden or Trump may sanction or bomb Syria for that atrocity. …What’s that? …You think I’m kidding?

   1. “Lavender” at work for Israel. The AI Israel has been utilizing from day one.

5. White House National Security Council spokesman was asked on Wednesday if there would be any change to US policy toward Israel and said, “We are still supporting their right to defend themselves, and we’re going to continue to do that. We’re also going to see what the result of the investigation is.”

   I can only imagine what the result of the investigation will reveal. Israel is innocent. Oct 7th made them do it. There were terrorists nearby. The US bombed aid workers in WW2. Never again. *Holocaust*. God said we could.

   1. Maybe we just can’t handle the truth.

      https://www.bing.com/videos/riverview/relatedvideo?q=sideshow+bob+you+can%27t+handle+the+truth&mid=BA19B1F40A133652BD4EBA19B1F40A133652BD4E&FORM=VIRE

   2. They already decided to continue.
      Why do they need an investigation which is never going to happen anyway.
      Can anyone remember any real investigation ending with credible results? I don’t going all the way back to the Kennedy assassination.

      1. There will be an investigation. But when the ones who did the crime get to investigate themselves, the outcome of that investigation becomes pretty predictable. It would be like the Pentagon doing an internal audit.

      2. Does anyone remember previous “operations”, Cast Lead, Protective Edge? What was done by the world community? Nothing.

      3. The JFK killing would never be properly investigated or things would have come out that would not have been healthy for the Government and the CIA.

   3. All I hear about the actions of Israel, the use of AI, the wonton killing, is revenge. How can there be revenge for an action that was anticipated, known, to the date, that was sure to be the trigger for what Israel is doing. There are precedents. History of like actions. The actions of the British leading up to the Boer War. Occupation, starvation, killing. Actions of the U.S. Army against Native Americans that refused to go to the reservations, with a resulting breakout. Starvation, indiscriminate killing. The British were also determined to starve the Irish (many dead, their teeth green from eating grass), also occupying Ireland. All involved an occupation. All involved vengeance when the occupied expressed their views on the situation, needing only that reaction by the occupied to be the trigger.

      1. I believe its called Blowback. Bin Laden did not want troops in Saudi. They came and 911 happened. a mosquito bite compared to what 2 Billion Muslims will do probably pretty soon.

6. “Unconditional US military support for the genocidal war will continue”
   That is what they get paid for.
   Biden and his Zionist crew get paid to approve delivery of more weapons, that is their job. War is profitable, it must go on.

   1. War is a Racket

7. The Joe Biden administration is clueless, lawless et completely devoid of any morality.

   1. Yes, but apart from that, what do you have against them …?

      “The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
      To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
      To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.”
      ― Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

      In other words, they are all psychopaths.

      1. Nope. A psychopath is assumed to not live in reality. They are in reality, and they revel in their positions of power, knowing full well what their actions and votes are doing. They are not stupid. Every action is calculated.

      2. I can not and will not argue with your theory.Everyone who runs for public office should be required to pas a stiff mental test.

         1. Yes, and it should be the Minnesota Multi Phasic Inventory test, (MMPI).

   2. When was the last time a US Presidential administration was not “completely devoid of any morality?”

      1. We can go back to the Polk administration. “Manifest Destiny”. Moving the boundary between Texas and Mexico from the Las Nueces to the Rio Grande, allowing U.S. troops to intrude, knowing there would be an encounter with Mexican villagers and soldiers.

   3. He is not clueless. He is a politician. He is placing a big bet on AIPAC getting him re-elected. He will finger wag, be oh so aghast at the carnage in Gaza (perhaps refusing to view pictures of the dead, or the picture of Palestinians digging to remove a body from rubble, seeing the arm of a man protruding from the dirt). All of our politicians are rallying around the murderous State of Israel. All.

      1. Your last sentence says something very significant about America and the people who live here.

8. “The American political system can’t or won’t draw a real line with them and that is regrettable”

   The republic is broken.

   1. Please tell me when America was a republic with equal rights for all.

      1. The USA has always been a republic.

         Equal rights for all is another matter.

9. The aid workers for the World Central Kitchen were traveling along a route that was pre-approved by the Israeli military. They were in three separate cars with the WCK logo clearly marked, and an Israeli drone fired at least three missiles at each one until they were all killed.

   so it was a deliberate ambush trap on the part of the Israelis.

   1. And before there is any investigation we already know the workers where Hamas agents, that is why they were ambushed and killed by the Israelis.
      Israelis never kill without a good reason. /s

      1. According to Glen Greenwald it sounds like Israel suspected there was just one Hamas “terrorist”. But he wasn’t among the dead. So, that’s where the “accident” comes into play. I’m sure if they could have scraped up a body that could be passed off as a member of Hamas, they wouldn’t have called it an accident at all. Just policy.

         1. I take Glen’s word for it. I was guessing based on the UNWAR incident. They keep repeating the same deception, Shifa the same too.

10. Is it possible that Biden and Bibi are playing a weasel “good cop/bad cop” routine on the American public?

11. Dead man walking.

12. Dave, why is my account banned from original.antiwar.com when I have never posted before?

    1. Dave doesn’t handle comment moderation. I do. And Disqus’s “list of banned commenters” keeps a good deal of information invisible even to moderators, so it’s hard to connect any particular banned account to e.g. your username. Do you by any chance share an IP address with someone else who might comment here, or have you used a different screen name for other Disqus profiles?

13. As Scott Ritter pointed out yesterdday, those 50 F-15 fighters are intended to enable Israel to conduct a war with Iran.

    Once again proving that the US and Israel do – yes, DO – intend a war with Iran. So let’s stop asking whether anyone wants a wider war.

    Scott Ritter made a big argument yesterday on the same show saying “no one wants a Mid-East war”. He’s wrong. Everyone does. Everyone sees that the final confrontation is happening over Palestine.

    As long as Palestine was on the back burner, everyone could just do tit-for-tat and kick the can down the road. Hamas and Israel blew that plan out of the water. Both decided now is the time to finish this. Hamas did so in coordination with the Axis of Resistance which wants to eliminate Israel and Israel did so in coordination with the US neocons who desperately need a diversion from the failure in Ukraine and also wish to finish their plan to destroy Iran.

    Ritter argues that Iran’s best plan is to let this conflict in Gaza play out because Israel’s economy won’t recover from it and the Zionists will start to leave Israel and then a two-state or on-state solution can be negotiated.

    Bullcrap. He forgets that Netanyahu is going to attack Lebanon – if not Iran directly. Once that happens, all bets are off. US involvement is then guaranteed and the escalation to Iran will be quick.

    Sometimes Scott gets a little ahead of himself with his speculations. He is correct that no one particularly wants to help the Palestinians get a state but he is wrong when he suggests that Iran and the Axis of Resistance are going to allow Israel to ethnically cleanse them permanently. That won’t happen when the entire Middle East sees a chance to eliminate the biggest thorn and US hegemonic platform there.

    I could, of course, be as wrong as Ritter. But every day provides evidence that I’m not and every day provides evidence that he is. The attack on the Iranian Consulate clearly shows that.

    Ritter argues that from Israel’s viewpoint that strike was a rational one. Yes, it was. As he says, it eliminated several of the Iranian Axis of Resistance regional coordinators. And that will cause Iran to have to re-adjust its leadership in the region. It will also likely delay Iran’s response until their command structure in the region is so adjusted.

    But that doesn’t mean Iran will back down. As Professor Marandi has said, Iran is compelled to respond because otherwise its leadership of the Axis of Resistance will be weakened and because this was a direct attack on Iranian sovereignty.

    That doesn’t mean Iran will respond instantly. As I said before, the Axis of Resistance strategy is to bleed Israel and the US just as Russia has bled Ukraine and NATO. Let the US and Israel run out of bombs and missiles. Hamas isn’t going anywhere and neither are the Palestinians. Despite the death toll in Gaza, there remain a million and a half Palestinians and Hamas has lost only ten percent of its force, if that. Even Israel can’t kill that many that fast.

    So the Axis has plenty of time to be patient and wait for the inevitable moment when Israel and the US escalate to the point where the Axis can attack and claim to be the defenders. Just like US Presidents, no one wants to be the one to start a new war – except the craxies in Israel. So everyone is tit-for-tatting slow-motion escalation. But when Netanyahu goes into Lebanon, the glvoes will come off.

14. What is needed is for Washington to tell Jerusalem that unless it settles the Palestinian question fairly and rapidly, all American aid will cease forthwith, and to hell with the Israeli lobby.

    It will, of course, take a president with you-know-what to do this, and this president ain’t Biden. Trump could easily do it, but will he? He’s never had the Jewish vote, and never will, so he’s got nothing to lose.

    – Taki –

    1. He got at least $125 million in Zionist money for his first campaign by reversing his position on Palestine and declaring himself “the most pro-Israel presidential candidate ever.”

       If those who support peace in Palestine want his help, I guess they need to come up with at least $126 million.

       1. Moving the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem was a stroke of genius. AIPAC money forever, baby.

          1. Even Hillary could not do that. Maybe that is why she lost the election.
             Politicians are corrupt and vile people.

       2. What position on Palestine did he reverse?

          1. His initial position early in his 2016 campaign was that Israel needed to negotiate “a deal” with the Palestinians.

             Then Sheldon Adelson waved a $125 check under his nose and he instantly went 100% “Israel should do, and get, anything Israel wants.” A policy he kept to throughout his presidency.

             Is it possible that someone might wave a bigger check under his nose this time around? Sure. But it’s important to understand that Trump will always make the decision that Trump thinks is best for Trump, with no consideration whatsoever for anyone or anything else (including “America”).

             1. I don’t see any contradiction between Israel needing to do a deal and maintaining it’s gravy train.
                In fact Trump did try to cobble a deal together that would have yielded a Two State Solution. Though it failed, he did hint at the possibility of a One State Solution that many prominent Palestinians also proposed and one I believe is destined to ultimately succeeds, the devil being in the details.

             2. That’s a $125 million typo 😉 Well, technically less $125!
                Re Trump… True, a sociopath, if ever there was one in politics, but really, Biden is behaving like one, political strategy or no.

       3. Wall Street where greed is good.

    2. Jared Kushner together with Trump would take care of Israel as they did last time around, it was profitable. Jared is ready for beach front real estate deals already.

       1. Happily, they are no longer together.

          1. Is Jared a has- been son -in-law?

             1. SOB – in – law is all he is but as Trump’s wingman on the ME, he’s fired.

15. Nothing is going to change the actions of War Criminals in D.C., or in Israel, until the ICC starts issuing arrest warrants. All we hear is we need to talk more, send more arms, like talking to War Criminals is going to change anything. STOP talking to the Genocidal Maniacs, arrest them, lock them up! I don’t think world leaders understand how their populations are disgusted with their NO action against Israel, allowing them to continue their slaughter and soon their people will turn on them for doing nothing.

    1. It’s not obvious that ICC arrest warrants do much to change behavior. For more information, see “Putin, Vladimir.”

16. Trump’s going to run as a peace candidate and beat the crap out of him. How craven do you have to be to let a fascist run to the left of you?

17. Genocide Joe calls for a ‘cease fire’ while continuing to send tons of weapons to Israel. Hypocrisy. It’s all for show. The Zionists control the the U.S. Congress so don’t expect any change in policy that inhibits Israel from their genocide. In the long run, the U.S. and Israel will pay the price, as they should. https://www.breitbart.com/middle-east/2024/04/04/biden-demands-immediate-ceasefire-from-netanyahu-in-phone-call/

18. Ehhhh…They WEREN’T ALL worthless towel heads or journalists or UN workers? Cue the outrage to hit ’em at the same time as the 2000 lb bomb aid!
