Netanyahu's killing of women and children in Gaza is also meant to defeat Biden

by dragging Biden along with the carnage and smearing it all over Biden's face before the election.

And Netanyahu is relishing every minute of all of it.

for this invasion knowing that Netanyahu's intention was to eliminate the Palestinian people, the atrocities that criminal has committed should have not been supported. We, as a country, failed to stop Netanyahu.

Netanyahu should go to jail for his crimes.

And when he had the Gaza perimeter disactivated (one of the world's most sophisticated - and yet it was down for hours that very night), the upcoming U.S. elections were definitely part of the calculus.

Who, really, doubts that anymore - besides some brainwashed church lady or Chumpkin.

cut off the money spigot ASAP. The ones who are orchestrating the genocidal destruction of Gaza are behaving like the Germans of the 1930s and 40s, which is, umm, I'm not sure if ironic is the exact word, but something like that. And before someone tries to pretend I'm saying "Jews = Nazis" ... just don't even fucking try. I'm obviously not. I was specific with my words. The government of Israel is not the same as "all Jews." Not at all.

I'm saying that protestors who shout "Genocide Joe" are Netanyahu accomplices because they are hurting Biden, thus assisting in Netanyahu's efforts to hurt Biden (per this OP, Netanyahu is killing civilians to hurt Biden). Which is kinda ironic considering these protesters purport to oppose Netanyahu.

Netanyahu's genocidal destruction of Gaza has turned up anti-Israeli sentiment to 11 around the world. Israelis are more isolated and in more danger than ever, thanks to their far-right fascist criminal leader, Bibi the Butcher.

One side: The Jewish sect who is not seeing the sadistic zionism from within.

The other side: The anti-zionists who saw through the facade, yet gets called antisemitic.

This is very weaponized to get the Jewish vote.

I don't know the full description of the aid being given to Israel, but a lot of it will be going to rebuilding their defensive systems, humanitarian aid, and to support our own military activities in the region.
I can accept that, but I don't know what offensive weaponry is included. I would prefer that any offensive weapons assistance be conditional on a permanent ceasefire, and eventual peace agreement.

Again, a compromise to help Ukraine was of such high importance and immediate need that it had to be done.
Without our help, Ukraine probably wouldn't have lasted until the end of the year.
Imagine what Putin would do if he took control of all of Ukraine. How many 10's of thousands of patriotic Ukrainians would be killed? Anyone who opposed him would be killed or shipped off to a gulag, and the nation would be repopulated with Russians.
The end result would be a new base for Russia to further advance into former parts of the USSR.

7:1 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you— 2 and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally.[a] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.

20:10 When you march up to attack a city, make its people an offer of peace. 11 If they accept and open their gates, all the people in it shall be subject to forced labor and shall work for you. 12 If they refuse to make peace and they engage you in battle, lay siege to that city. 13 When the Lord your God delivers it into your hand, put to the sword all the men in it. 14 As for the women, the children, the livestock and everything else in the city, you may take these as plunder for yourselves. And you may use the plunder the Lord your God gives you from your enemies. 15 This is how you are to treat all the cities that are at a distance from you and do not belong to the nations nearby.
16 However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. 17 Completely destroy[a] them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you.

...revolves around the desire for a Drumpf 2nd term.

It is a right wing wet dream...a pliant narcissistic clown in charge of the most powerful country on the planet.

MBS and Xi are "in the club" as well.

They all might eventually want different things, but they all want a weakened, disorganized,, ineffective US.

There really is a "vast rightwing conspiracy". It is global. It is organized. It has been very effective.

We would have a better understanding of the timing of this war. To me it seems the perfect way to hog tie Biden’s hands at the height of election season here. No doubt TSF and his buddy Bibi along with other bad actors are behind the timing of this devastating disaster. My heart goes out to all. It’s not a simple coincidence that this is happening now. History tells the story. It can not be written out. We must stop the killing on both sides and try to crawl back into our human skins. Enough! Across the crust of this planet hate seeds the destruction and innocents fall, a true and utter waste of life.

an excuse to kill women and children they are hiding behind, right?

Because the Iran-funded proxies have nothing to do with the carnage and defeating Biden.

Seriously, though, by portraying Netanyahu as a two-dimentional cartoon villain, this overly simplistic one-sided two-dimentional narrative deflects and detracts from the the complexity of the dangers the three-dimentional Netanyahu, as well as his adversaries in Gaza and elsewhere represent to the Palestinians, the Israelis and to Biden, among others, in the real three-dimentional world of the Gaza war.
