Just now on NPR from Lakshme Singh.

Could be someone who is angry and leaked the plan to, if you will, preempt it. Or could be someone who is happy and leaked it to appease the growing Muslim wing of the Democrat Party.

Jake Sullivan asked about it, refused to comment.

So Biden may do something kind of good for a really stupid reason

Israel doesn't need the aid. They're kicking Hamas arse just fine without it.

We’ll see.

This could just be window dressing, a marketing campaign.

I think this is all theater. He is trying to placate the pro-Palestinian crowd, but he won't do anything to kneecap Bibi.

If Israel can't hold their own without us, then frick them just like Ukraine.

So tired of these 2 wars politicians from both sides want us to fund.

watching him trying to placate and appease voters on both sides of this issue is a microcosm of Left wing politics in 2024. when Hamas first attacked Israel and nearly the entire world was unified as "frick Hamas", he was all in on that and spoke many times to our unwavering support of Israel. now that the outrage has simmered to second page news, and the pro-Hamas crowd has gotten more vocal, he's trying to gradually slip over to that side.

I'd have more respect for him if he would have definitively picked a side early on and stuck with it, even if it was pro Palestine. he's such a slimy piece of shite who is obviously just going whatever direction polling tells him he should.

Does anyone ever mention the US hostages that are still there?

That no one in the Biden admin seem to have any desire to get back?

*Wouldn't be surprised if they are dead. Who knows at this point?

He’s just saying that because he knows the aid ship he’s sending off the Gaza coast will inevitably be attacked… when it does, he’ll be “compelled” to get further involved.

This is just preemptive cover so that he can say he was ready to get tough on Israel but that Hamas forced his hand

Why does Israel need our money, anyway?

No they're not. They are certainly kicking arse, but they are doing it with goo-gobs of our aid. Do they need it? Probably not. Anyway, they saw this coming (By "they" I mean Biden and the Israelis) and they stocked up on everything they need until after the election. And if they run short of anything they will get it on the down low.

Deep state handing Biden a freebie. As if Israel cares what Biden does.
