lol. Trump ran off at the mouth about terrorist threats to airliners which came from intel provided by Israel. He’s an idiot. Every time Biden screws the pooch you guys always have the same response. WHAT ABOUT TRUMP! WHAT ABOUT TRUMP! It’s incredibly predictable. How anyone can defend Biden’s record is absolutely amazing to me.

My only point was it makes just as much sense to blame Trump as it does to blame Biden. It doesn’t make much sense at all.

No. It’s just fascinating how quick you are to blame Biden when this attack was months in the planning and preparation. Your attempt to boil this down to (1) Biden gave $ to Iran (2) Iran supported Hamas attacks Israel is laughable and shows why exactly biased media and click bait fundraising politicians go after simple biased thinking.
This is the collision of millenia hatred, decades of failed policy (including US) and current global politics. There are failures to go around on all sides and both sides of the aisle. No one on this board has the answers, myself included, but you couldn’t wait 12 hours to jump on and blame Biden.
I don’t know if it’s simpleness or hatred or just cult mindedness that drives you.
But if you are looking for answers, google can also be used to find information. Not just the latest bigoted, misogynistic or vulgar meme.
What’s funny is that nobody even mentioned Trump until you started your whataboutism bs. You’re hilarious. Heck, if you don’t like the latest $6 billion gift just dig into how much Iran has profited from Biden’s feckless policies since he took office. Google is your friend.

You have the linear thought capability of a caveman. I said in response to your question that I don’t blame Trump. But I guess because of your inability to even contemplate how nuanced this issue is you couldn’t understand when I said “No” to your question if I blamed Trump. This is decades of failed policy on both sides of the aisle

This is only one of hundreds of examples from yesterday….this is infinitely worse than a couple dozen rednecks at some random overpass. City councilman openly calling for genocide…if you think their phrase “colonizer” only applies to Israelis you are incorrect. They believe the killing of innocents on Saturday is completely justified and think it would be justified here.

Paywall! And I don't think the fact that Iran was deeply involved was ever in question.

Listen to this and call me a liar…
Sorry about the paywall
I'm pretty sure that information is everywhere.
I don't think those people even know what they're saying. Internet tough guys. Pretty sad.

Sen. Cory Booker says he is shaken, angered, heartbroken after taking cover in bomb shelter in Israel
WASHINGTON−Sen. Cory Booker was jogging Saturday in Jerusalem when the attacks began.
As Hamas militants moved into Israel, as thousands of rockets were launched, the New Jersey Democrat was advised by his chief of staff to get back to his hotel, Booker said in a video Saturday evening on X, formerly Twitter.
He took cover in a hotel bomb shelter with others, including "many Americans."
"Frightened faces, there were children and elderly, families, many Americans," Booker said in the video. "There was a sense of fear and worry and a knowledge to many of us that there were horrific things going on around the country at that time."
House Democratic lawmaker sheltered from rocket fire in Israel hotel
Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) and his family were forced to shelter in a hotel in Israel over the weekend while visiting family amid a barrage of rocket attacks launched by Hamas.Goldman along with his wife and three kids were in Israel for a family Bar Mitzvah when Hamas launched an unexpected barrage of attacks from land, sea and air, Goldman’s spokesperson said in a statement Sunday.
Goldman’s family sheltered in a stairwell inside of a hotel until early Sunday morning, when they departed for New York, according to his office.
Noting Goldman is “grateful” for the assistance of the State Department and Israeli authorities, his office said the New York Democrat hopes “all Americans can come together to support Israel’s right to defend herself from terrorism and war crimes.”
Elon Musk told his 159 million followers to get Israel war updates from accounts that have peddled fake news
- Elon Musk recommended two accounts known for spreading misinformation to his X followers.
- The billionaire suggested the accounts for following the war in Israel in "real-time."
- He deleted the post after 3 hours, but not before it was viewed by 11 million users, per the Post.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, the billionaire suggested @WarMonitors and @sentdefender "for following the war in real-time." Both accounts spread a false claim that there had been an explosion near the White House in May.
Musk deleted the post after three hours, but not before it was viewed by 11 million users and several news outlets. Musk appeared to take issue with a post by the War Monitor account that referred to Gaza fighters as "martyrs."
Replying to the post, Musk said: "Martyrs" is not an objective or accurate word, nor is "murdered". The former implies dying for a cause in battle and the latter implies a deliberate attempt to kill those specific people. While reporting both sides is fair, please use maximally accurate words or I must withdraw my recommendation to follow your account."
The War Monitor account has used the word "jew" in a derogatory way, The Washington Post reported, citing a June X post that has since been deleted.
Musk has spent the last few weeks fighting allegations of antisemitism after a fallout with the Anti-Defamation League over the spread of antisemitic content on X.
Experts have expressed concerns that the platform could be leveraged to spread misinformation about the Israel conflict. X has already faced allegations that it has the highest proportion of Russian disinformation of any major social network.
Representatives for X did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment, made outside normal working hours.
Jewish Actor
The actor, who is Jewish, continued, “Instead of compassion & humanity, people are treating this as if it’s a FOOTBALL match with two teams when the points scored are dead human bodies,” Gad continued. “Waving flags around as if they are team jerseys. Have we lost our f–king minds? Somewhere in a basement right now, tied up and terrified are little CHILDREN who have never done anything to hurt a Palestinian. Somewhere on the streets of Gaza are innocent people who are being shelled, because terrorists decided it was best to destroy any opportunity for peace.
“And the response is to shame people like me for expressing grief and heartache, the same grief I share anytime an innocent Palestinian is displaced or killed? Is this where we are? I guess it is. One of the many vile messages I will share with you that I received yesterday is: ‘my only regret is that they didn’t kill more Israelis.’ Not soldiers… civilians. People. This isn’t a war. It’s a massacre. It’s a bloodbath. And instead of communal despair, so many are treating this as if it’s politics or a rugby match.”
Gad concluded, “There are no winners here. We are all losers. Most importantly, every Israeli and Palestinian is now on the losing end. I am truly at a loss. I guess I’m the naive one.”
The actor’s father lived in Israel, while his mother was born to a family of Holocaust survivors in Germany.
In his initial post Saturday, Gad wrote, “I have no words. I am praying for my many family members in Israel. What a cowardly act. What we are witnessing in real time right now is unprecedented since the Yom Kippur war. My heart breaks for the families of those who have lost loved ones, and for the hostages who have been taken. What a horrific day.”
