WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden expressed support Friday for Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer after the senator called for new elections in Israel, the latest sign that the U.S. relationship with its closest Middle East ally is careening toward fracture over the war in Gaza.

Schumer, a Jewish Democrat from New York, sent tremors through both countries this week when he said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has “lost his way” and warned that “Israel cannot survive if it becomes a pariah” as Palestinian casualties continue to grow.

“He made a good speech,” Biden said in the Oval Office during a meeting with Ireland’s prime minister. “I think he expressed serious concerns shared not only by him but by many Americans.”

Oh look, criticizing biden and showing him we meant business in the primaries actually worked.

Like its supposed to, All you fucking mouth breathing fucktards that were out there crying "DONT BE MEAN TO BIDY IT MAKE TRUMPY STRONK"

Now if he follows up stopping weapon deliveries to Israel, it'd be perfect.

The crazy part to me is how there's all this focus on the obligations of progressives and leftists to compromise while ignoring the supposed reason why. If Biden would lose support for cutting off weapon shipments that means there are people who voted for Biden in 2020 but refuse to do so in 2024 because they want to support genocide.

Those are the people who deserve the lectures, shame and endless repetition of the "vote blue no matter who" mantra. Those people are not holding up their end of the bargain. They demand compromise yet yield nothing in return. While whining when Republicans do the exact same shit.

We all know what generation and ethnicity I'm talking about.

My write in vote for "Palestinian Genocide Victims" for the democratic presidential nominee worked. You're welcome everyone.
