Biden is already walking back previous statements. The backlash is building.
Not surprised...his comments were extremely tone deaf.

This isn’t new. This sort of back and forth have been going on my entire life from PLO to Hamas.There are two issues at play here, the US response, which doesn't surprise me at all, and the conflict itself which is turning into potential genocide.
If you are speaking to the US response I understand. No one should watch genocide play out and shrug their shoulders, however. This will change the way a lot of people accept a geopolitical worldview. Whether it's enough to stop someone voting for the Dems vs the GOP, that's a conversation to have after the emotion dies down.
This is a land grabthey just need to accept their fate and not resist and then the world will have sympathy for them, instead of condemnation when they resist. what will the world's sympathy get them? nothing, but at least they'll have the world's sympathy.
Not to mention a large majority of his base supports PalestineNot surprised...his comments were extremely tone deaf.
