Biden Silent As Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Rages
President Joe Biden remains eerily silent as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated in the last few days. Yesterday, Hamas fired a barrage of rockets at the towns of Tel Aviv and Beersheba. This is an apparent retaliation to Israeli airstrikes made earlier at Gaza.
As a result, lawmakers from both aisles of the US Congress are calling out Biden for his silence. They want to know why America is apparently reluctant to issue any statements.
However, Republicans and Democrats are calling out Biden for different reasons. Consequently, this puts the president right in the middle of the latest Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This can mean that condemning one side implies support for the other.

Republicans Want Biden To Condemn Hamas
Meanwhile, Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) demanded that the Biden administration “strongly condemn” Hamas. The rocket attacks launched by the group occurred during Jerusalem day last Monday.
Haggerty tweeted that the Biden administration should strongly condemn Hamas. In particular, he said that the group “and other terrorists” are “exploiting tensions in Jerusalem” to carry out rocket attacks. The US should support “Israel’s right to defend its citizens,” he added.
‘Incredibly Unhelpful'
In addition, House Armed Services Committee member Representative Michael Waltz (RFL) criticized Biden as well. He told Fox News that the administration's actions are “incredibly unhelpful” right now.
“They’ve given away all leverage right up front, and we’re seeing this is a theme with the Biden administration in terms of handing out cash hoping it fixes the situation. So they’ve already agreed to give hundreds of millions of dollars without any conditions,” Waltz said.
Additionally, Waltz referred to the recent move by Biden to restore US aid to Palestinians. He said Biden should have asked the Palestinian Authority to denounce Hamas.
“And, importantly, without changing the governing situation on the ground. There’s just endemic corruption within the Palestinian government that is a real disservice to its people. Yet, American taxpayer dollars are going to flow back into that situation,” he added.
Democrats Want Biden to Sanction Israel
Then, there is Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib (MI). Tlaib is a supporter of the movement to boycott, divest and sanction (BDS) Israel. She accused Biden White of “enabling” the violence in the region by giving Israel foreign aid.
Also, she said that the US should admit that Israel uses aid to commit human rights violations. “US taxpayer dollars should not be used to commit human rights violations. That needs to be said,” Tlaib said on MSNBC. “I have yet to hear anybody from the Biden administration declare that,” she added.
Biden Has Serious Concerns Regarding Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
Meanwhile, White House press secretary Jen Psaki went to update the media Monday. She said that the Biden administration holds some “serious concerns” about the situation.
In particular, Psaki referred to a call report from national security adviser Jake Sullivan. Recently, Sullivan held a conference call with Israeli national security adviser Meir Ben-Shabbat.
“Mr. Sullivan highlighted recent engagements by senior US officials with senior Israeli and Palestinian officials and key regional stakeholders to press for steps to ensure calm, deescalate tensions, and denounce violence,” it read.
“Mr. Sullivan also reiterated the United States’ serious concerns about the potential evictions of Palestinian families from their homes in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood.
They agreed that the launching of rocket attacks and incendiary balloons from Gaza towards Israel is unacceptable and must be condemned.”

Help Israel at their request and pray for Israel and pray that the God of Israel guides the U.S. to do the right thing.
Biden Is Nothing More Than a 150 lb. Turd … He’ll get Jet Jock Kerry to do it!Honest
Why do you think Biden is eerily silent about this Country? In his first 4 months he has shown the world that he is a President worse than President Carter ever was. The Palestinians, China, Russia, and Iran are all testing him for a response. And they are getting just what they hoped for, No comments or action, just Biden in the Basement. As the Palestinian(initated)-Israeli Conflict Rages he will remain silent, because if not, he will get into trouble. Next question to him should be “Who is/are your Handlers”. WAKE-UP-AMERICA! Unless you think you would like to live the rest of your lives under the Guidance of a Carl Marx Theory.
Biden isn’t running the country anyway! OBAMA and the SQUAD is running it and OBAMA,TALIB, AND OMAR ARE RADICAL MUSLIM TERRORISTS POSING AS “AMERICANS”!
Biden is taking instructions from the squad. He does not have a backbone. Why would anyone think he would do the right thing. Given the election was fair you have got what you asked for. A worm caring only to line the pockets of himself and his family as he is under others thumb because of fear they will expose the truth will come out about his family.
Biden is the classic typical waffling, spineless, gutless coward and even traitor that all socialists are.
Biden is a total idiot,he probably don”t evening know where Israel is at. A wolf in sheepskin!
Very Sad. Biden has no idea what to do. The people who voted for him, will not admit they were wrong. Now they, along with us are suffering the consequences of Biden’s decisions. Trump would have jumped right in, and did something. We have to protect Israel, and do what is necessary. WE need to get rid of Biden along with his side kick Harris!!! Wake-Up People
Amen Susan!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
This is nothing new. Obama and other democrats have always treated Israel like crap. Obummer openly supported hamas and the plo. I always find it funny whrn jewish people are democrats. They support a party that not omly is antisemitic, and racist but blatantly disrespects an ally of the USA. Typical dem stuff here. Ruin the country by floods of illegal aliens, bury the country in debt and ignore allies.
Bumbling Boob!!!
Biden is not fit to be a president in any way shape or form . The people that are with him are all unfit as well. We have the misfit toys running our country!
Thanks y’all…. you said it for me. Bring back Mr. Trump, the “election” was rigged, Pelosi and Schumer are Commy’s!!!MAGA MAGA MAGA!!!!!!
Biden will say ” Hamas ” who ?
Look Biden a Chicken shit President He got his whole hand stuck up his ass and rotates on it night and day, all his puppets pull his strings on what to do nexted. If he doesn’t,back Israel then USA will become weak in everyone’s eye’s . then God help us all. Biden should take a stand. But he will wait. for it. Israel has too, call the USA for backing. Before USA gets involves again.
Revelations “when all nations turn on Israel “ God will defend and woe unto those nations! This includes the good ol USA, how many Muslims are in DC licking their chops to destroy Israel! Send our fleets to help now! If Biden goes to his bunker, get ready for WW3!
Lets’ send Israel more weapons.
Biden and the Dems are crazy, look how he has unraveled what Trump had accomplished. If we don’t get those lunatics out of office soon we won’t have a Country or an ally in this world. It would be nice if they could build a ship large enough to carry them all on the mission to Mars it being a one way trip. They are all Communist’s. One day they will all stand before our maker who has ALL POWER and what will their excuse be then.
America has supported Israel for many years. If Dementia joe goes against Israel all our other true allies will go against the US. Or at least against puppet-joe &:or Hyena Harris.
Biden KNOWS Israel is the Holy Blessed Land … God’s first chosen!! He just doesn’t care.. He sold his soul to the devil. It’s all about the money…really sad! Biden isn’t running our country…someone else is running our country and they hate Israel and hate America..hmmm I wonder who that would be!?! Three guesses and the first one doesn’t count! Ugh
If we don’t protect Israel then God want protect us! It’s just that simple. Please help us Lord!
So in Genius 12:3 the Lord is talking to Israel and this is why America is a blessed Nation and our founding Fathers knew this..that is why they said “We are one Nation under God!!!” ect..)
The Lord our God says this in Genius 12:3
“I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
Amen!!! We are praying for Israel.
Biden and the Democrates are funding this war against Israel by giving money to Iran.
Tlaib needs to go. There should be no Muslims in are government.
