Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
His comments didn't "surface". They were made openly.
And nothing he said was opposed to Biden. He just said there's a lot more context than people realize and innocents who are being hurt. Biden himself has called for a more tactical approach than what they've done.
This is just the news trying to spice up Democratic politics because it's not as interesting as the Republican politics.
If you ignore rhetorical differences then the US, all European countries, Russia, India, and China have basically the same position about the situation - Hamas is a terrorist organization, Israel is right in wanting to get rid of them, but Israel doesn't have the right to murder everyone in Gaza to achieve that, and, even ignoring the moral aspect, trying to do so is even counterproductive for the long term security of not only Israel but the entire region.
But how things are said, and what things are said, influence the public perception of the events and exact positions of public officials, and when it comes to what someone as influential as the president of the US says, this can have a big impact on what happens next.
Love how Bernie said it, then Obama said it, but now the narrative is trying to make it look like Obama said it first and is leading the charge.
I think it's more that a former President carries more headline power than a Senator.
Why?
Why does Bernies career amount to him giving the correct answer, and then some deeper party goon gets the headlines, usually right before they use the moment to become a complete lobbyist dick sucking asshat?
This is why America is fucked.
Actually it's not wavering as much as a display of Obama's pragmatism. He doesn't have to play with geopolitics the way Biden does, and would admit it.
And when he had his chance, he continued a drone program that killed almost 4,000 civilians. His hands are pretty fucking dirty.
That's double the number of civilians third-party sources claim were killed by drone strikes... from 2004-2020.
