It would be amusing if he was prosecuted for that tweet.
He's throwing a bone to the MAGA base who have so far largely rejected him in favor of Trump.

My guess would be that this a major consieration on his part, the Saudi's are trying to rehabilitate their image and transform the country in to a business and tourist hub, getting concessions from Israel would help that goal immenselyThe Palestinian issue was specifically cited by MBS in the interview I posted a few pages ago. That’s not to say the deal would’ve resulted in a two state solution of course, but it would obviously be a major consideration from the Saudi side to gain concessions from the Israelis so that MBS could improve his regional cachet as the guy who moved the needle on the issue.
Thats an interesting tweet. Israel gov wont be happy with that.
Won't work thoughHe's throwing a bone to the MAGA base who have so far largely rejected him in favor of Trump.
It's a bullshit statement
He has the power to force Israel to halt until operations can be conducted in a decent manner, and civilians of Gaza are protected.
Guess I'm missing something - why would he be prosecuted for that tweet?It would be amusing if he was prosecuted for that tweet.
Israel can dislike it as much as they want. What they gonna do? They need US more than a child needs a father.Thats an interesting tweet. Israel gov wont be happy with that. Hopefully it will help get humanitarian aid into gaza.

Okay, that makes more sense. It would be, yeah.I quoted the wrong post? It was about a german saying that he was ashamed about the fact that criticism of Israel was illegal in Germany or something to that effect.

The absolute shamelessness. Sorry if posted before.
I don’t understand why they would bring them in to Israel.
At a time when the Gaza population supports Hamas and the Israeli population supports it's government supporting either is tantamount to supporting the other. (And I don't support either 100%, only to widely varying %).
I don't think they realized how far it would have gone and how many civilians would suffer as a result of the inhumane treatment from the IDF. This is just damage control. Fake outrage now is just for show so that they're not implicated but the damage is already done. There's no rewind button and there's nothing they can say that can repair the damage.I don't get these things and it's the same with the very similar backtracking from Macron. Why are they backtracking? We know what they said, we know how they act and how they will act, so why do they think that they are fooling anyone? That also applies to the EU, who made a 180 on their initial response and are acting as if they were shocked by how things are moving.
They are really convinced that people are complete imbeciles, aren't they?
Fareed Zakaria explained that the Israeli-Saudi deal is likely to still go ahead in the future but that MBS must keep the religious fundamentalists off his back for now.

Shouldn't be much of an issue if he follows the Saudi mantra of separating head from body.
IDF spokesman Hagari: "Hezbollah is working under the direction of Iran to escalate the situation in the north and challenge Israel in the war in Gaza"
I'm suddenly intrigued by something-
do we have any lawyers on board?
I'm seeing so many Facebook posts/tweets by Israelis calling for Bibi's head,
calling him a son of a bitch, wishing death on him...
I don't have social media so I didn't join the party, but I can imagine myself writing something similar.
Can a politician sue me for calling them a son of a bitch (when they are clearly not it)? and actually win in court?
If it's on my Facebook then my name will be there, and my picture will likely be there...
won't that be slander? libel? something to that effect?

He actually doesn't, but even if he did, he wouldn't given that the American public are firmly behind supporting Israel here. Therefore, an attempt by Biden to stop the Israelis from reacting would be a disaster for him back home.

Anyone shed lights on the reports that Israel oversees all aid going into Gaza.
With food, They basically count the people, work out the calories and give it on that basis.
They calorie count?
They're backtracking because the nations of the BRICS block said the opposite.I don't get these things and it's the same with the very similar backtracking from Macron. Why are they backtracking?

How does the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces not have the power to halt military support to Israel, changing the calculus on the ground? Congress control the purse, yes.
On your second point, I don't think that's true that most Americans support Gaza being leveled in violation of international law. They support Hamas being eliminated, but unless you're conflating AIPAC with the American public I don't think Americans would have issues if the show of support was reined in and more conditional.
Hence the infamous comments about putting the Palestinians on a "diet".
I think that they knew how it would go but more importantly if you give your unconditional support, you have a duty to consider the worst outcome. So it's laughable that it took this lot 2 days to change their communication.
I'm sure you're pretty safe, they've been called much worse than that beforeI'm suddenly intrigued by something-
