The Israel-Hamas War after nine weeks is complicating American politics going into 2024!
Joe Biden has been very supportive of Israel, even with more than 17,000 plus deaths in the Gaza Strip caused by the Israeli offensive against the terrorist group, Hamas, which killed about 1,200 Israelis on October 7, the greatest loss of Jewish lives since the Nazi Holocaust in World War II.
There were righteous anger and desire on the part of Israel to destroy Hamas, but now it has become a massive Holocaust of the loss of so many Palestinians who are simply “stuck” in a war zone they cannot escape.
And the government of Benjamin Netanyahu is responsible for failing to insure Israeli citizens safety, with the shocking lapses in intelligence and security.
And Netanyahu refuses to plan for a “two state solution”, which ultimately needs to happen.
But right now, there is such hatred and division in the midst of massive deaths on both sides, and it has caused widespread antisemitism and Islamophobia in America, and complicates politics in America as we go into an election year!
Qatar has come under fire for sending of millions of dollars in aid to Gaza for years with Netanyahu’s backing.

Sounds like those payments backfired and made Hamas stronger rather than weaker.
A new U.S. intelligence assessment shows that nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions used by Israel in Gaza have been unguided so-called “dumb bombs”, which are not as precise and pose a greater risk, especially in a densely populated area like Gaza. That could be contributing to the soaring civilian death toll.
CNN has obtained some videos of Israeli soldiers in Gaza behaving in offensive and disrespectful ways toward the civilian population.

Those soldiers doing that don’t help matters any.
