How long can Netanyahu survive in power?

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

If you are aware of what he is saying and you are grousing on his grammar, then you are being dishonest.

If you are unaware and it has been clarified, but you refuse accept it, then you are being dishonest.

That's the problem with being a grammar Nazi. You are so convinced by your own interpretation of the "rules", that you forget they aren't actually rules.

Mountain Man wrote slovenly prose. It is a common fault on this board. You seem to suppose that any reader is magically going to know to which precise aid convoy[s] he is referring.

:) No. But, conversational context works rather well. Beyond that, after you were given clarification, "slovenly prose" no longer is relevant.

Beyond that, as I said, grammar rules are not actually rules that people are required to follow, and the qualification one you use is definitely not one that is set in stone. I would harbor a guess that it's not "slovenly prose" but instead "slovenly reception and comprehension" that is the bigger culprit.

Or, as is so frequently the case with you, bad faith posting and intellectual dishonesty.

[Mountain Man]

On the contrary, it is Mountain Man's slovenly prose.

I wrote a broad, general statement. You read it as narrow and specific and then falsely accused me of saying something untrue.

That's slovenly comprehension on your part.

[Cow Poke]

Pathetic answer.
So let's face it, you don't really care that 35,000 Palestinian civilians and children have died because of the Israeli leadership and IDF.

Well your country clearly does because it's holding up defence weaponry less it be used on civilians and children.

Not our country - just the puppet who the left allows to believe he is POTUS, but he's running away from that position....

Joe Biden Runs Like a Scared Dog From His Pro-Hamas Position, As His Political Fortunes Sour

Leave it to Joe Biden, the worst foreign policy mind in American history, to also manage to take the cake domestically.

In perhaps the dumbest political move in decades, the president recently pledged to cut off arms shipments to Israel while demanding they not enter Rafah to finish off Hamas. Biden did so in an ill-fated attempt to appease his far-left flank, which is populated by woke "pro-Palestinians" who've never met an Islamist they didn't like.

As I wrote recently, that worked about as well as expected. Namely, it didn't work at all and they still hate him.

The bigger problem for Biden was that in his attempt to suck up to the pro-Hamas faction, he managed to anger a far larger contingent of Americans, of which polling shows the overwhelming majority support Israel in its ongoing conflict. Thus, the desperate walk back has begun.

Like money, weapons are fungible. Israel already has vast stores of bombs and artillery shells. Any stipulation that they can't use these latest shipments in "civilian areas" of Rafah will have zero effect on their ability to win the war. The prior concern was ensuring stockpiles didn't get too low in case Hezbollah opened up a northern front. If the shipments resume, though, that won't be a problem. In other words, Biden is folding like a cheap suit while hoping to smear a little lipstick on the pig to make it seem like he didn't turn heel.

To further illustrate just how running scared he is, Biden then put out a statement proclaiming that a ceasefire could be had tomorrow if Hamas released all the hostages.

He simply can't figure out whose butts to kiss to keep his own in power.

Previously from CP:

With the hostages returned, even the strongest supporters of Israel (well, most of them) would have to admit it's time to end it.

CP, when Biden agrees with you and you cite pieces saying Biden holding those positions shows Biden is awful, you come across as a bit unhinged and unprincipled.

A) You pretty much ALWAYS look unhinged and unprincipled, Star, so there's that.
2) Biden is not "agreeing with me" - he's doing his best to appease the loony left pro-Palestinian anti-American fringe, and is constantly saying stupid things to alienate more and more people.

His birdbrained idea to float the "withholding weapons to Israel" nonsense angered more Democrats than he appeased by coming up with the nutty idea in the first place.

One of the primary tools in negotiation is never to let the enemy know what options are "off the table". All he did was embolden the enemy and anger his own base.
He has the principles of porcupine poop, and you're right there lapping it up.

[Cow Poke]

CP, when Biden agrees with you...

Hey, foreign policy genius....

More than two dozen House Democrats blast Biden holding back Israel military aid, say it ‘emboldens’ Hamas terrorists

This kind of reaction to myself, and to JimL, just shows you're completely out of touch with reality.

2) Biden is not "agreeing with me"

He's saying releasing the hostages should end the conflict, you said releasing the hostages should end the conflict.

He has the principles of porcupine poop

I think you're looking in the mirror.

The 'left'? That's nearly half of the United States of America.

[Hypatia_Alexandria]

I wrote a broad, general statement.

Which was incorrect as can often be the case with a "broad. general statement" .

And I'm praying for them.

Well, if you're on the same page as JimL, you have more problems than I understood.

He's saying releasing the hostages should end the conflict, you said releasing the hostages should end the conflict.

False. Never said that.

I think you're looking in the mirror.

Every morning to shave, yes.

[Mountain Man]

I apologize for your inability to readily comprehend simple words and phrases.

[Cow Poke]

Let's deal with your "big 'un"....

He's saying releasing the hostages should end the conflict, you said releasing the hostages should end the conflict.

Here is what I said....

If the world would put the same pressure on Hamas to return the hostages as it does to keep Israel from continuing to wage war....

With the hostages returned, even the strongest supporters of Israel (well, most of them) would have to admit it's time to end it.

Look at that last part ---- supporters would have to admit it's time to end it.

That is NOT the same as "should end the conflict".

[Sparko]

If the people support mass killing of civilians and their children then I guess that things won't change.

Do you think that killing civilians and little children is ok? Yes/No?

No mass killing of civilians and children is not OK. That is why Israel hit back when HAMAS did it on October 7. HAMAS started it. HAMAS is the one hiding behind women and children while lobbing attacks at Israel.
