A big problem is there are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world & only 16 million Jews in the world. Even if only a tiny % of Muslims are biased towards Hamas, there will still be a lot more Hamas sympathizers than Israeli sympathizers, even though Israel is in the right. That means more eligible voters sympathizing with Hamas and more TV viewers sympathizing with Hamas. Politicians who want votes are forced to choose between what's better for their political career and what is ethically correct. News and media companies also have to choose between what will increase their viewers and what is ethically correct. I wonder what could be the solution. Is there a way to even make this not about religion?

Unbelievable and sickening. Biden turning on Israel for purely domestic political purposes. Biden losing support among Arab supporters of Hamas in Michigan and elsewhere. So he implies Israel’s not protecting civilians and there must be a ceasefire, which would utterly undermine Israel’s military efforts. And at the same time telling the terrorist Nazis that the United State will reward them with a country carved out of Israel or Gaza itself.

It’s time for Republicans in Congress to dig into this. Biden has already funded and unleashed our enemies in the Middle East and now he’s going to blow it all up.

When did Biden imply Israel isn’t protecting civilians?

The reasons to argue this is about religion are a lot more than population or population disparity.
