discussion NYT: "Gaza has become Biden's war... part of his legacy, an element of his obituary."

[Communion]

Quote

Gaza has become the albatross around Biden's neck. It is his war, not just Benjamin Netanyahu's. It will be part of his legacy, an element of his obituary, a blot on his campaign — and it could get worse if Gaza cascades into a full-blown famine or violent anarchy, or if a wider war breaks out involving Iran or Lebanon. An Israeli strike on a military base in central Iran early Friday underscored the danger of a bigger and more damaging conflict that could draw in the United States.

Consider just one example of America's fingerprints on this war under Biden's leadership. In January, the Israeli military dropped a bomb on a compound in Gaza used by the International Rescue Committee, a much-respected American aid organization that is supported in part by American tax dollars. The International Rescue Committee says that the near-fatal strike was caused by a 1,000-pound American-made bomb, dropped from an American-made F-16 fighter jet. And when an American-made aircraft drops an American-made bomb on an American aid group in an American-supported war, how can that not come back to Biden?

"Biden owns that," said Jeremy Konyndyk, a former Biden and Obama administration official who now runs Refugees International, another aid group. "They've provided the matériel that sustains the war. They provided political support that sustains the war. They provided the diplomatic cover at the U.N. that sustains the war."

It is perfectly in line with what he'd done up until his presidency though

The megalomania of the establishment to still back him this year despite his abysmal track record and popularity is insane. I'm naive for still feeling shocked.

[Blue Monday]

He keeps handing critics talking points on this issue and he has nobody to blame but himself/his administration. All of these politicians keep rolling over for Israel despite the obvious facts, it's so frustrating

This is just an "Opinion" unfortunately. The NYT has lost all credibility in the last six months because of their coverage on the conflict. All the disturbing things that have been leaked when it comes to what language they allow their journalists to use and their article and defense of the "mass rape" even after it was debunked is forever unforgivable.
