Can someone explain toe a logical reason why Biden pays any attention to people like Sanders who constantly posts open lies like this that everyone knows is false, i.e., it's closed because Hamas is firing rockets at it?

Civilians, imirite? The worst aspect of this is that ambulances with true emergencies must be stopped to be checked because of these morons.

Watch: Border Police stop ambulance attempting to smuggle infiltrators
The ambulance driver, who attempted to dissuade the officers from opening the back of the ambulance, claiming he was tending to a medical emergency, was arrested.

Interesting coming from her
https://www.timesofisrael.com/hillary-clinton-anti-israel-protesters-dont-know-very-much-about-the-middle-east/
Her husband's legacy is too connected to peace in the middle east.  Arafat screwed it up.  She can't take that side now

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/05/11/us-israel-rafah-invasion-palestinians-evacuation/

“The Biden administration, working urgently to stave off a full-scale Israeli invasion of Rafah, is offering Israel valuable assistance if it holds back, including sensitive intelligence to help the Israeli military pinpoint the location of Hamas leaders

Say what ?
It seems that the US is desperate that they don't go in to Rafah. What are they trying to hide? Is there something Israel may uncover there that would be an embarrassment for them?

It’s an open secret that Rafah and Gaza’s border with Egypt is a major smuggling route. Not sure what kind of smoking gun you’re implying that Israel would find that would embarrass the US.

That the US was aware and maybe complicit in the smuggling? I'm not implying that, but it seems almost as obvious that they have something to hide as it does that Israel has by not publishing civilian casualty numbers...

What might they possibly be hiding in Rafah? US weapons? You’re implying there is (or “might be”) something, when i can’t possibly think of anything of that sort.

Maybe covering for Egypt to avoid a conflict there.

I’m not sure it’s in Israel’s best interests to upset things further with the Egyptians by embarrassing them. Most of the variables are unknown.

To me it seems more like the Biden admin wants the war to end for both geopolitical and domestic political reasons, that have nothing to to do with Rafah per se.

There are rumors that in a tunnel in Raffah there is video footage of Biden and Blinken themselves wearing kefiyes handing over rockets to Sinwaar and even getting the honor of firing the first ones from behind a line of Palestinian school children.

We worked with Moshiko's mother and Chabad of Katamon to make a BBQ for Caterpillar D9 soldiers in Zikkim Base.
She's amazing!!!

Regardless of what's in his heart of hearts, the public statement, and public inspiration, are great
