    Noone is defending Israel’s invasion here. Your top level comment implied that Biden is violating his own call to a ceasefire by sending these troops in …when they are a defensive unit. No missile attacks, no need to use the defensive battery.

      What do you want me to say? With a view to the US election campaign, I’m glad to say: Vote for Harris/Walz! The apparent alternative Trump/Vance would be much worse even in this matter. I have no problem to say that because it’s true. That does not mean that you are fighting a just cause here - on the contrary. It just means that your political system is in shambles and that your moral compass if way off.

        What I would love is for people to read the article and then objectively think about it for a second, rather than just knee-jerk respond to the headline in a way that confirms what they already believe to be true, seemingly regardless of what is actually happening.

        All I did was correct the misinformation you were spreading. There are plenty of valid reason to criticize the Biden admin over, no need to make ones up.

          What misinformation? I said: Biden said he “criticizes” Israels attacks on UN peacekeepers and - still - he sends additional troops to Israel just a few day later. These are just facts.

              I did not frame this at all. I just quoted Biden and said that in the light of this quote from just a few days ago I couldn’t understand (“WTF”) why he is sending additional troops. Please don’t pin this on me. I get that you are trying to fight the good fight here (I agree that it would be awful for the whole world if Trump would win). I’m just saying that this is a bad move by Biden because deploying even more troops in support of Israel is not just morally wrong (that was my point as an observer from europe) it’s also very bad PR - that’s what I think at least, because I think the majority of sane Us-citizenens don’t want to have any part in the inhumane actions of the Israeli Government.
