“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.

  • I’m not talking about Israel’s motivations, I’m taking about Hamas. The US has sway over Israel, but not so much Hamas. If we’re to bring an end to the conflict, it’ll require talks between Hamas and Israel, so an external facilitator needs to be trusted by at least Hamas. I think Bernie Sanders has some fundamental issues there, and him being old isn’t helping matters (though he’s certainly a better option than Biden).

      The conflict is caused by Israel, though. Most Palestinians aren’t motivated to violence because of religion. They’re pushed to violence by violence.

      Remove the boot on their neck, and hamas would cease to exist.Through its going to take a few generations because Israel seems insistant on creating more and more violent extremists.
