Reminds me of this (potentially politically incorrect) scene from the life of Brian.
House passes resolution condemning ‘From the river to the sea’ as antisemitic
The measure passed the GOP-controlled chamber 377 to 44 on Tuesday — with 43 Democrats and just one Republican voting against it.nypost.com
imagine if America put as much effort into stopping genocide as it did policing the language of genocide.
Israel's retaliation is underway, some reports of multiple sites in Iran, Iraq, and Syria being hit but still waiting on more firm reporting.
More than ever do I wish I could trust the decision-making skills of anyone running Israel.

Republican senators called for President Biden to deploy the national guard to suppress pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University.

Send in the National Guard against college students protesting American violence overseas; that ALWAYS works out great...
I'd like to hear more about moral courage from... *checks notes* ...Hamas? Was it when they wiped out entire kibbutzim full of civilians? Blew up pizzerias and buses? Fired thousands of indiscriminate rockets into Israel?
They did this kind of jive with the Taliban, too. The world is watching, history will judge them, etc. Boggles the mind unless it's just for domestic consumption.
The US also knows that you literally cannot stamp out an insurgency militarily. They're watching israel make 20 years worth of mistakes in a speedrun. Netanyahu also doesn't care, he wants to flatten gaza. Hamas doesn't care, because if they start agreeing to deals and returning all the hostages: it's the end of their power because they will get replaced with an actual palentinian state. Both of those parties want the status quo: whereing israel has an easy to access and manage enemy to demonize in their politics, and hamas has an excuse to threaten genocide and harvest the poor, and desperate to die for them.
There will be no peace until at least one of these elements are changed: and you can't stamp out an entrenched insurgency militarily.

Not to mention their current enemies, Israel, who have committed what some would say is (arguably) incidental genocide.
Wasn't that the point of the message; to ask both sides to be good for once?

Is there a way to interpret this other than that Biden knew where the hostages are, and by extension knew where NOT to bomb, and never told Israel and still hasn't?
That the US doesn't know these things, but has the means to acquire that information faster and easier than israel does.
What do you want to bet that ol' nutty will skip the information just to punish the people of gaza?

I don't know why I should even get out of bed in the morning.
BBC covered this too.
