US President Joe Biden has suggested that Israel’s military response in Gaza has been “over the top” and said he is seeking a “sustained pause in the fighting” to help ailing Palestinian civilians.
“I’m of the view, as you know, that the conduct of the response in the Gaza Strip has been over the top,” Biden told reporters at the White House.
He added that he had been pushing for a deal to normalise Saudi Arabia-Israel relations, increased humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians and a temporary pause in fighting to allow the release of hostages taken by Hamas.
“I’m pushing very hard now to deal with this hostage ceasefire,” Biden said. “There are a lot of innocent people who are starving, a lot of innocent people who are in trouble and dying, and it’s gotta stop.”
Lol if anyone here is saying that the US government in WW2 acted quicker than Biden is now, it’s important to note that the US waited 2 years to join WW2.
Probably not so good an approach in retrospect. I wonder how many Jews were killed in that time
Honestly wonder if we even would have entered Europe if Hitler didn’t declare war on us
In fighting, yes. But before that, we were also aiding the fuck out of the Allies with Lend-Lease and such. Here, we’re not even doing that. If anything, we’re arming the Nazis.
