[@Verdictus22]

Just saying, I am a registered democrat from NY, and I have not been so disgusted by an administration ever. I honestly cannot fathom how anyone would vote for Harris and I think as a country we have to wake up. Listen to the words being spoken and see the actions and failures of those in power. Ask yourselves if you are truly aware and awake, come November I know who I am voting for.

Please stop saying just “Biden administration”, but say, “Biden/Harris administration”, stressing Kamala Harris, pro-Hamas/anti- Israel position.

You & others like you will not force us to believe evil & lying is a good thing to support. When you have to cover up what you are doing with constant lies & smearing people for not supporting intentions that are nefarious & lacking logic its you who have a problem. They ruined what support they had with broadcasting their crimes & their true intentions with their words.

*continued* - ‘….And instead he is at *a public relations and political campaign here in the United States* - that is what this is - it’s about public relations and politics - *not about trying to* get the hostages returned, and have a cease fire to stop all the deaths that are occurring there.

The ongoing wars now between the two, *is the worst* since the 1947 U.N. 💡 *How many US Presidents before Biden has stood with Israel* ? 🦸With Biden’s record for wanting world peace for all, *he seems to be the only President* in a long time who has actually put a *two-state solution back on the table* for Israelis and Palestinians to live between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River - a new state of Palestine for the Palestinians to live alongside the state of Israel.”

problem is the numbers are coming from humus themselves... 40,000 thats alot of bodis ... have you seen mass graves? i haven't. ..

That attack was heartbreaking that day to see all of those hurt in Israel. And also just watching the ongoing war in gaza with the Palestine people for 8 months now, all those innocent people walking around hurt and bloodied, and doctors being interviewed in the hospitals trying to save lives. Little children, its heartbreaking.

Before this theocracy there was the theocracy of the twelve tribes of Israel, there were city-states of Canaan. „Palestinian“ was a word used by Romans for the Jews 3.000 years ago. I never was or has been a real state. It’s basically an Iran Hamas proxy. They had billions of dollars but didn’t want to build schools and infrastructure, they spent it on old rockets fired at Israel.
