Watch Likud MK Danny Danon brag about how Israel completely ignored Biden's feeble requests. And then he explains why - Biden's requests were backed by zero pressure! "They didn't agree to a ground invasion - we invaded. They didn't agree to [bombing] Al-Shifa hospital - we…

It wasn't too long ago that people in DC were uncomfortable talking about AIPAC. Now, a major network has a 6-minute piece shining a spotlight on AIPAC's efforts to push the US to always side with Israel - and its efforts to unelect lawmakers who dare disagree with it.

Biden is about to drag America into war with Iran on behalf of Israel. The disastrous way he has handled matters since Israel bombed the Iranian consulate in Damascus shows that any shift in Biden's policy on Israel was all talk, no walk. Here's a short thread on Biden's latest…

So the aim of American diplomacy is not to end the war but to end the COVERAGE of the war. Is this what Biden meant when he said that American leadership is what holds the world together? Blinken asked Qatari PM to rein in Al Jazeera war coverage

@realDonaldTrump You said leaving the #IranDeal would halt Iran's nuclear program. It didn't. You said sanctions would force Iran to capitulate. It didn't. You said killing Soleimani would deter Iran. It didn't. You say you don't want war but everything you've done has made war more likely.

Biden, for the first time, mentions the number of Palestinians killed in Gaza. Says most of them are not Hamas. Says he has been fighting to get an immediate ceasefire. Does not mention that he has vetoed 3 UN resolutions calling for a ceasefire.

Just two months ago, Biden tweeted that Palestinians have a right to self-determination. Yesterday, he voted against a resolution at the UN that recognized the Palestinian people's right to that very self-determination. Only 3 other countries voted with the US.

The United States remains committed to the Palestinian people’s right to dignity and to self-determination. The actions of Hamas terrorists don’t take that right away.

Very strange... Iran fired missiles at ISIS in Syria. Killed several ISIS leaders - almost killed Al-Baghdadi. US complained (!!) saying Iran was reckless, cuz the strike was within 3 miles of US troops. But why was ISIS leader Baghdadi feeling so safe so close to US troops????
