        If that’s the extent of your hot take, then the same logic would mean Russian missles to Ukraine should all be shot down.

          Ah but you see, if Ukraine wins too favorably, then there is less power to wield over the profits of the oil and gas fields

      Racism. Biden is an avowed Zionist and has no problems with Arabs being slaughtered. So is Trump, just to be clear.

      Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.
