Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of Biden's response to the Israel-Hamas war, AP-NORC poll shows
apnews.com
Nearly half of Democrats disapprove of how President Joe Biden is handling the Israel-Hamas conflict.

The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    Nope, by definition isn’t.

    Still more dangerous for the IDF and less vengeance-effective than just raining death on thousands of civilians on the off-chance that you might also kill a handful of terrorists that Hamas can easily replace.

      Yes, and that touches on the core problem, unequal regard for human lives.

        Yeah, to quote Rashida Tlaib from right before they censured her for speaking truth to power:

        I can’t believe we have to say this, but Palestinian people are not disposable. We are human beings just like anyone else. Speaking up to save lives no matter faith, no matter ethnicity should not be controversial. The cries of the Palestinian and Israeli children sound no different to me. What I don’t understand is why the cries of Palestinian children sound different to you all.
