President Biden has no plans to alter his policy of “unequivocal” support for Israel’s slaughter in Gaza despite claiming in private conversations that he’s frustrated with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, NBC News reported on Monday.
Sources told NBC that Biden had disparaged Netanyahu in private conversations with other people, including some campaign donors. The sources claimed that Biden said he wanted a ceasefire, but Netanyahu was “giving him hell,” and in at least three instances, Biden referred to the Israeli leader as an “asshole.”
Biden has even said he believes Netanyahu wants the war to drag on so he can remain in power, as polling in Israel shows they want the Israeli leader to step down once the onslaught in Gaza comes to an end. Biden has also said publicly that he believes the Israeli conduct in Gaza has been “over the top,” but the apparent frustration has done nothing to alter the US policy of unconditional military aid and political support.
The NBC report reads: “Yet, even as Biden has escalated his rhetoric, he is not yet prepared to make significant policy changes, officials said. He and his aides continue to believe his approach of unequivocally supporting Israel is the right one.”
Israel has repeatedly rebuffed US comments and concerns about its operations in Gaza since October 7. On Sunday, Biden spoke with Netanyahu by phone and said Israel should only launch an attack on the southern Gaza city of Rafah if it has a plan to take into account the safety of the over one million Palestinian civilians packed into the city.
But on Sunday night, Israel unleashed a series of airstrikes on Rafah, killing around 100 people. Israeli bombs targeted two Mosques and 12 residential buildings in the city. There was a ground element as well as Israel said it rescued two Israeli hostages from the city.
Aid groups are warning that a full-scale Israeli assault on Rafah would be a “bloodbath” due to the number of civilians sheltering in tents on the streets of the city, which has a pre-war population of one million. But Netanyahu has repeatedly vowed that Israeli troops will soon be invading the city.
Which testifies once more to the power that Israel has over the US. The Europeans might be a bunch sickly, old and neutered lapdogs to the US, the US are Israel’s bitch to slap around. And so it goes.
Europe is faced with large,young,restive, Islamic immigrant populations, no energy, and is scared.
Well, yes. Like in the US they don’t feel and are not represented politically. They were taken for granted by the left mostly, because they feel minorities owe it to them, sort of. Somewhat similar like in the US. I guess. But this is changing, slowly still but surely, and that worries many people, older generations more than younger, that is true, causing many of them to seek solace in the political escapism of rightist populist parties.
There is nothing wrong with experiencing culture shock,but if you came here voluntarily,show respect for your hosts.Minnesotans gave Somali refugee apartments that are nicer than those that most Americans live in,food stocked cabinets, and debit cards. Most became respected citizens,some became terrorists.Religious extremism from any source is bad. US leftists worship at the feet of certain minorities, and despise others.
Yeah we know how truly culturally ingrained the respecting the host of their country thing is for Americans. They genocided them.
Some Israeli made this the point of their genocide apologetics. Yes, this is a thing now. Well and then maybe some other group might grow to a majority and take that example too. After all nothing lasts forever.
Everything Biden says is just CYA, to avoid being blamed for genocide in an election year.
With luck, the Israeli attack on Rafah will bring both Hezbollah and Egypt fully into the war and increase the Axis of Resistance escalation against Israel.
Everything that Biden says is Blinken pulling the string that operates his mouth, while throwing his voice, at this point. Not that Biden disagrees in fleeting moments of cognizance.
There is no genocide avoidance path and Biden’s not going to have an election year, thank you So. Africa:)
CYA won’t work.
Bibi far worse than just your run-of-the-mill asshole.
If Bibi were a mill, he would be powered by a river of Palestinian blood, and he only wants more.
I guess Bibi & Biden are bosom buddies no more.
But(t) Biden is like the coward who talks all manner of mess behind the bully’s back, but backs off quick, when the bully cracks the whip. Who told Joe he better shut the bleep up?
That last is the archetypal politician -“Kiss, up and kick, down.
They may have to jump off the bridge together, they are connected at the hips.
The election will be interesting, who knows who the candidates might be.
Palestinians are suffering because of Hamas.
Blow it out your ass, you lying Zionist scumbag.
Palestinians are suffering because of Israel’s genocidal attacks on civilians.
Zionists in the US will pay fir their support of genocide. We will not forget, Jake. This is our country, not Isreal’s
Agreed. Biden is playing the lawyer. Advising his client (himself) to establish a record (rhetorical) of opposing the policy of genocide knowing he’ll always get the benefit of the doubt (however infinitessimal).
I’m not looking for a wider war, but I certainly hope Israel has to pay a steeper price for their slaughter of Palestinians than they have thus far.
When yo see your citizens strung up on fences,and women’s breast cut off men and women’s faces and genitals blown out by multiple gunshot wounds delivered from two feet way, it is a steep price. Now the inevitable response ensues.
You keep repeating absurd allegations, get the evidence so we can settle the issue.
Watch on you tube the grayzone and Democracy now and other reliable sources, oh, Judge Napolitano and his guests, and dialogue works so you can judge for yourself.
You are in a big black hole, get out of it.
I was not there-but all you had to do was watch any TV channel to see what happened-Go to you tube-see the women who had to prepare the rape victims for burial. American leftists said that Stalin wasn’t so bad while he killed 30 million innocent citizens of the USSR.
How do you know it is true, your tales are getting more absurd by the day. It takes sick minds to make up the stories. You can’t believe a word coming from Israel or the Biden people. they are bags of S**t. No credible victims and no credible witnesses.
I have come to question much of what I used to believe, that includes most all numbers coming from Tel Aviv.
Let all freedom lovers who hate genocide and Fascism step forward.
Sorry I’m too busy kicking my
Genocide Joe effigy jn the balls!! The bastard is sending American two & five thousand bombs for Netanyahu to drop on the helpless in Gaza.
He is just the latest edition of Presidents who don’t care how many they kill or render as homeless or refugees for the benefit of capitalist financial interests
“White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre stated that Biden’s physician, Dr. Kevin O’Connor, does not believe a cognitive test is necessary. She said O’Connor believes Biden proves his cognitive ability “every day [in] how he operates and how he thinks.” Afraid they might ask Genocide Joe some tough questions like “How much is 2-2”?
A cognitive test is not necessary because it is painfully obvious that the man has no idea where he is or what he is doing.
One could ask then why doesn’t he prove it and clear the air, the election is in some 9 months, not much time, the guy is doing nothing but campaigning. Is O’Connor competent, it does not look like that. Anyone can hear and see Biden is senile.
Biden is unhappy but will do as he is told, regardless of what is best for the country.
Biden isn’t unhappy. He’s playing a role. He backs his “dear friend” just like he always has.
‘Biden isn’t unhappy. He’s playing a role. He backs his “dear friend” just like he always has.’
Yes. Biden’s prob’ is N. isn’t ‘playing his role’ properly – the openly, all but avowedly genocidal political entity that is ‘Israel now’ will no longer engage in the US’s liberal pretence of inflicting violence within a ‘rules based order,’ of ‘proportionate response,’ of ‘seeking to minimize ‘collateral damage.”
What? Not even a pretence by Israel? With Biden giving 200% military, political and diplomatic cover? – and with an election in the offing? The nerve of Netanyahu. How ungrateful. What an ‘asshole.’
Genocide Joe, he dont know about whoz da boss o mexicco and seems to think its next to the Gaza Show.
That “asshole” comment (allegedly) is just a scheme to get more votes for Biden among the “fence sitters”. What would Trump call Nutty Yahoo?
”That ‘asshole’ comment (allegedly) is just a scheme to get more votes for Biden.”
The genocide-enabling White House deliberately ‘leaking’ that politically empty comment…
…and a liberal, genocide-condoning press reporting the comment as though it signified an act of opposition to Israel’s ongoing, US-enabled genocide…
…is the ‘scheme.’
And those targeted liberal ‘fence sitters’? The third, genocide-complicit leg of the scheme: ‘Theatre is the temporary suspension of disbelief.’
The tribal race attack by Hamas started this mess.
Wrong, Biden’s reelection is at stake, the DNC did not see that coming. He was senile in 2020 but the pandemic covered him. They were not smart enough to pick a competent VP, her race and gender were more important than competence and Biden is disintegrating, maybe faster than expected. Kamala is not even making a good wax figure for a museum.
Joey Biden doesn’t know what planet he is on or what day of the week it is.
Get over saying that he is in charge!
Bibi and Biden – two a$$holes in a pod…
“ The US president, who has been under scrutiny recently over fumbling his words, has referred to Israel’s planned military operation in Rafah as “our military operation.”
An official White House transcript of the speech shows Biden apparently changing his wording mid-sentence:
“Our military operation in Rafah – their – the major
military operation in Rafah should not proceed without a credible plan for ensuring the safety and support of more than 1 million people sheltering there.”

Good catch.
Scarecrow Joe says he has a zionist heart. The tin man got the Zionist brain by mistake.
PRICELESS….!!!!!!!!
Zionism good -response to Joe Stalin’s Jew hatred.
Zionism is racism.
Israel was founded on lies, land theft and ethnic cleansing.
President POS.
If an announcement were to be broadcast that an asteroid will hit the Earth in 30 days, one large enough to take us out, the 6th extinction, I would rejoice. Just like the Frankenstein movie “Bride of Frankenstein” where Frankenstein (portrayed by Boris Karloff) says to the other creation (portrayed by Elsa Lanchester), “we deserve to die”, then pulls the lever to demolish the lab and themselves, we too deserve to die. We are not the best that G-d could have created. Quite the opposite. A botched experiment.
Actually there is such an announcement; rising CO2 levels in the air causing climate change and the extinction of much life predicted by some sometime in the next century. Too few are listening. Alas the planet will take care of the key spieces that is causing problem.
I am against GENOCIDE!!!!!!!!!! The nice Israeli Zionists seem to be against it. They say they only want to ERASE THE CHILDREN.. No bodies, no blood & pooph!!!… they are gone. Nothing to see, nothing to be upset about.
If Oct 7 had been a strike against Israeli military positions,then a more measured Israeli response would be indicated. However,when it comes to mutilating the living bodies of unarmed civilians, raping,and kidnapping,Hamas is reaping the whirlwind. Have you condemned Hamas for its actions?
You just keep repeating debunked claims.
Debunked by who?
Reputable journalists did research which Zionists refuse to do.
Regev and Elyon Levy the speakers for the Zionists, have no credibility at all. They are schooled in hasbara, how to tell lies. Biden repeated their lies and his people had to recall the lies he spread.
There were over 300 military and security personal killed on October 7th. So, those human shields were killed because the IDF refused to give the festival organizers a heads up about a Hamas attack that they had been warned about for months. And what happened to the “beheaded babies” you were clamoring about that turned out to be bullshit?
Sooooo-1200 minus 300 equals 900 civilians.It is bad enough to kill someone from 3 miles away,to chop them up into bits,repeatedly stab as you rape-that’s a crime of a whole different order.
Sooooo-1200 minus 300 equals 900 civilians.It is bad enough to kill someone from 3 miles away,to chop them up into bits,repeatedly stab as you rape-that’s a crime of a whole different order.
Less than 800 actually. But nice avoidance to commenting on what I was actually talking about. The deflections to the exaggerated propaganda are always a good go to.
You really have a rape obsession.
It is well known that occupiers and rape come together. Any soldier can tell you that. American and Israeli soldiers do it.
It appears that the IDF thugs killed more Israelis than Hamas. They even killed Israeli hostages.
Hamas is a resistance militia, they are retaliating almost a century of brutal Israeli occupation, and there is collateral damage.
Are you for real? Surely you know better than that if you do have a moral compass that is. But, IGNORANCE IS BLISS, is it?
Are YOU for real?
This won’t last long unless Biden thinks he is Byedon…!
I Believe Biden is sending Netanyahu two & five thousand pound gravity bombs to blow away the erasure dust that erasing the children leaves behind and make it harder to find for any official inquiry. It’s so clean and well thought out, why its genius…!!!!! Those Zionists sure are clever devils….!!!!!!!
What makes anyone think Netanyah is going to listen to Joe Biden. He doesn’t care. He is doing this to fulfull his own desires and pay DJT back for allowing them to move the capital and expaned the west bank. Your welcome Donny boy.
Biden’s job is to act as it is he is nothing but a hot air balloon. To cut funding the war does not need Netanyahu’s consent, he has to be told and funding cut. If Zionist Israelis want to commit the most sadistic war crimes they can think up, let the slimy Zionist fund their crimes and hold them accountable. Stop the BS telling us they asked them to cut the killings down, that is telling what lowlife creatures our elected officials really are. They make me p**e.
Children being amputated without anesthetics due to lack of medical aid which the Israeli monsters block out from Gaza.
How dare they show their ugly faces to us. We should spit in their faces and throw eggs and tomatoes at them.
Senile Biden knows it, there is no excuse for such people when they starve even babies. It is sickening, and yes, I am emotional about it.
Gee Whiz-correct me if I am mistaken,but where are your comments on Hamas use of mass rape,kidnapping,and mutilation as a weapon of war?
There is no known evidence, if they have evidence show it, what stops the IDF to put it on the table, other than allegations there is nothing. But the IDF bums have made videos to show, like Abu GU Rabe in Iraq, remember that?
99.9% of the civilized world disagrees with you-they all agree it was a terrible massacre;they may disagree how long the response should last.
You can’t deal with a reality you can’t face.
Oh well, we agree, he’s a greedy self serving lying plutocrat. But ask JFK who really runs this country. Oh, shoot, right, you can’t, he’s dead. Pun inteneded.
He’s concerned about himself, preserving his power and votes. He could care less about you, me or those that are suffering in Gaza.
Biden just is blowing a smoke screen thinking he’s fooling everyone. He is only fooling himself.
“ For anyone with even a shred of conscience, Israel’s war should elicit frustration and anger. But in Biden’s case, it has not yet forced him to issue an absolutely necessary call for a ceasefire that can spare Palestinian lives,” said Imad Harb, the director of research and analysis at the Arab Cente Washington DC.
“Unfortunately, and despite the fact that the United States has many tools of pressure that it can use to change Israel’s policies and behavior, it is Israel that is in the driver’s seat,” he told Al Jazeera in an email”

Our Presidents don’t need a functioning brain when it comes to genocide, it’s like muscle memory. This could be a perfect example.
Anyone ever think that it may be Biden who is the mastermind behind this carnage in Gaza. I mean like, he got the carnage going in the Ukraine, and has been working hard on people killing in Yemen as a side show to Gaza. He’s been trying to light off a few other places around the world too. Should be clear to all by now the dude is a sick pup. Him blowing smoke won’t change that.
Biden is old and senile,but has immense experience in politics. Knowing that the democrats may replace him, he will walk away with well stuffed campaign coffers in his private pockets.
Biden never grew in the offices he held, it is all about money, much of his wealth he made in Ukraine after the regime change, so did Hunter. Scum bags.
US complicity in Israel’s Genocide has put the entire world against us. The UNGA recently voted on a resolution giving the Palestinian people political self-determination, all countries voted yes except four: Israel, the US, Micronesia – a tiny country which under compact has to vote with the US and Nauru, a country of 12,000 people in the Pacific. “This is absolutely devastating for US foreign policy interests around the world.” -Jeffery Sachs
Tucker asked Putin with the potential of the world breaking into two hemispheres what and who he thought would make the resulting alliance blocs. Putin’s response:
“A human brain is divided into two hemispheres. One is responsible for one type of activities, the other one is more about creativity and so on. But it is still one and the same head. The world should be a single whole. Security should be shared rather than meant for the golden billion. That is the only scenario where the world could be stable, sustainable, and predictable. Until then, while the head is split in two parts, it is an illness, a serious adverse condition. It is a period of severe disease that the world is going through now.”
Hamas commited war crimes.
That pale in comparison to what Israel is doing.
So-you admit war crimes were committed by Hamas on Oct 7-tha’ts a start.So what would your response have been?
If the allegations prove to be true, most turned out to be war propaganda initiated by IDF people. And you do know what slimy thugs they are.
Call them what you will. What Israel has done in response makes what Hamas did look tame.
And once more with the “what else but genocide” question.
Other than allegations you have nothing. How about the Israeli war crimes, you can see it on TV. They block food and medical supplies from getting inside Gaza. That includes anesthetics needed to perform amputations on adults and children, including babies. You are not human, you support such sadistic and evil policies. Normal people oppose such evil, do you?
I can’t tell you how outraged I am and how I despise everyone in government, they are evil blood suckers, people without decency and you support them?
When i see a nude woman being put into the back of a truck with a man sitting on top of her,I understand what is going on.
Sure, what else?
You saw only a video, you saw nothing else.
That was an interesting analogy Putin mentioned. One thing you have to give him credit for, despite not being a charismatic, is that he is smart. In watching that 2 hour long ‘discussion’, I thought if Biden would have had the capacity to sustain a 5 minute discussion.
Biden is a liar, a man without conscience, he has the power and do what is right, he can’t blame Netanyahu for taking advantage of Biden, the killer, the war criminal. Biden is attempting to whitewash Biden at the expense of Netanyahu, two criminals trying to take advantage of the other. What low-life characters they and the people who surround them are.
There is not one person with character and integrity in the Biden administration, not a single one.
The good ones have already resigned.Some people have principles
Obviously Biden is a man with a mission. He represents the Great Power in the Zionist project, the power that enables the displacemnt of one population for another that wants to create a new country for its popluation scattered all over the globe.
Israel is the realization of the Zionist dream. It has its flaws,as does every other country. It is responding forcefully to a sadistic massacre of its citizens by a rejectionist enemy.
Unfortunately for Zionists the dream never left the dream stage since it is still at the implementation stage. Nor does it have anything to do with religion as many claim, since the problem is displacement: how is any population ever going to accept being displaced because some alien population comes along and tells them to leave? And among the aliens are fanatics of two types: those who yearn for the end times and those who yearn for a savior. They are on opposite sides yet both dream the same dream. And they both think “Big Brother” is on their side. Go figure.
