This has now become a Major Political issue for biden, as well as him being genuinely horrified by what he has been seeing in the civilian casualties, its really a real political problem because it has actually split the Democratic Party in two, in terms of their attitude towards this. 33 of americans dont approve of this administration� handling americans don� t approve of this administration� handling of the middle east and it is causing, just at the moment when the republicans are lining up behind trump, forging unity, this is splitting his party.

They condemn hamas, that the attack on civilians, men, women, babies, was harharic on civilians, men, women, babies, was barbaric and heinous. Taking hostages was barbaric and heinous. Taking hostages and attempting to make the world believe that it is an Act Of War Is world believe that it is an Act Of War Is unjustified. It reminds me of when war is unjustified.
