The Wall Street Journal has a long article about the Biden administration’s efforts to stop Israel from winning a decisive victory over Gaza:
The looming Israeli military plans to invade Rafah have exacerbated tensions between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government and the Biden administration, which has grown increasingly frustrated with its attempts to rein in Israel’s military campaign.
The consequences of the distrust between President Biden and Netanyahu, who have spoken 18 times since Hamas’s Oct. 7 assault, have grown only starker in recent days. Biden now appears to be trying to draw a line

Israel did not start this war. Hamas did. They tortured and murdered innocent babies. Why is this lost on the supporters of Hamas. They just underestimated Israel. Bet they won't do that again.

Biden should rein in his own mess on our Southern border (and now the Northern border), before he puts his nose in the affairs of Israel.
Israel has every right to defend its borders and to take out Hamas wherever they are, even if it is in a populated area. The people of Gaza were dancing in the streets over what Hamas did...so now they will suffer the consequences of their actions.
Pray for Israel and for Prime Minister Netanyahu.

I do pray for Israel. I try to forgive Joey for what he is doing to the world.

Between now and the November everything that Biden says or does will be tied to him buying enough votes to win that election. With Israel it is buying enough Arab or Muslim votes to win Michigan, yesterday Biden finally traveled to Palestine, Ohio a year late after a big train derailment where he blames the involved railroad in an effort to secure votes in Ohio and nearby Pennsylvania, now Biden’s crew has come out with another student loan cancellation scheme in an effort to buy the votes of young people who own student loan debt. We could go on and on when it comes to Biden attempting to buy votes. Just watch.

It is not surprising that Biden would sacrifice an entire people who are fighting for their mere exisitance, fighting barbarians who slaughtered innocent people including babies just because they are Jews, sacrificing these people for his political future is just who Biden is. This selfish fool has sold us out as well, for money and power, he is a traitor, he is a fool, always has been, and now he is a senile traitorist fool. I am glad the Israelis are not listening to him, they should do what they deem is right for their people and their country and Joe Biden can go to hell! ASAP.

No one and I mean literally no one respects or fears a tired and broken senile old man, not even if he's President.
They've likely got their hands on his complete medical records. They know as well as his own wife and doctors how far gone he is.

Ruh Roh. Joey Baby can't stop Netanyahu from completely destroying Hamas. What can JB do? Absolutely nothing. JB is definitely riding the wrong horse, Hamas, this time. Hamas will be completely destroyed, justifiably so.

Benjamin: "Joe, don't worry about me destroying Hamas. You have your hands full destroying your own country."

The US hasn't decisively won a war since WWII. Additionally, Biden cut and ran in Afghanistan. No country takes military advice from Biden and "Where's" Austin.

Go and wipe them out, IDF. Erase all traces of Hamas. Kill 100% of them.

During his three decades in the Senate, the HairSniffer was known to be wrong about every foreign policy decision with which he was involved.
Every. Single. One.

Israel said at the start that this was not an incursion, but war against Hamas. I guess no one heard.

FTA: "STEVE adds: I have my doubts that the Biden Administration wants Ukraine to defeat Russia, too."
One thing all the government apparatchiks learned during the COVID fiasco was the wonderous use of "emergency powers." Bring on the Russian space weapons and Cold War 2!

Has anyone considered that Israel will be disinclined to supply Gaza with water and electricity after this? And that Gaza will be basically uninhabitable at that point?

Biden's problem with Netanyahu is the same one that he has with Trump. Both men are principled patriots who put their countries first, a notion completely foreign to a self-seeking paper mâché figure like Biden.

Simple choice: The civilized people of Israel or the uncivilized savages of Hamas. Biden's problem is all the uncivilized savages voting for him. He wants their money, their voter fraud, and their votes. Biden knows what he did. He sided with them.
Netanyahu stated it simply. If Israel laid down their weapons, they would be wiped out. If Hamas laid down their weapons, there would be peace. Hamas chose war, and this is all on them.
