Netanyahu to Biden: Go crap in your pants again, Grandpa Funnyfingers.

In an interview with CNN's Erin Burnett on Wednesday, President Joe Biden finally made explicit what has long been implicit in his administration's Israel policy. Responding to reports that the United States had paused an arms shipment to Israel, the president said:

I've made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet that they're not going to get our support if in fact they go into these population centers. We're not walking away from Israel's security, we're walking away from Israel's ability to wage war in those areas.

To add insult to injury, Burnett asked Biden if he "heard the message" of campus protesters upset by reports from Gaza of "mass graves and summary executions, that there's been evidence of." Rather than point out that these reports are crude lies for which there is absolutely zero evidence, other than the say-so of the same Hamas sources that brought the world the fake IDF massacres at the Al-Ahli Arab Hospital and the aid convoy in February, the president merely said, "I hear the message." Shivving an ally and laundering a blood libel--two outrages for the price of one!
But in truth, no one should be surprised. That the White House would ultimately attempt to use its leverage to preserve Hamas in Gaza was baked into the American response to Oct. 7 from Day 1. Indeed, it was the entire purpose of the administration's messaging campaign to exonerate Iran and to forbid the Israelis from acting against Iran's prize proxy in the region, Hezbollah, in the immediate aftermath of the attack. By framing the war as the latest skirmish in the "Israeli-Palestinian conflict," and not as a hot front in the Iranian terror empire's cold war against the U.S.-led regional order, the White House effectively set a trap for Israel.
...
On Thursday, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said that "the IDF has armaments for the missions it is planning, including the missions in Rafah. We have what we need."
In his first official response to Biden's warning, meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Thursday that if "Israel has to stand alone, we'll stand alone." We'll see in the coming weeks and months if Bibi is willing to call Biden's bluff.

That guy makes a good point: Barack Obama tweeted that we should stand back and support Israel as it dismantles Hamas.

That may sound supportive, he says -- but Obama's real message was, "attack Hamas and not Hamas' patron and funder, Iran."

We must have investigations into the Democrats' secret deals with America-hating Iran.

Israeli politicians aren't happy with President Poopypants:

US President Joe Biden's threat to withhold arms in the event of a full-on Rafah incursion has sparked harsh domestic criticism of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with critics panning both his handling of relations with the United States and his far-right allies' "insulting" denunciations of Jerusalem's closest ally.
...
"I've made it clear to Bibi and the war cabinet: They're not going to get our support if they go [into] these population centers," Biden said, using Netanyahu's nickname.
The CNN interview marked Biden's toughest public comments yet on the matter, as concern has grown in the administration that Israel is not planning to heed US warnings against a major offensive that the White House feels wouldn't take into account the million-plus Palestinians sheltering in Gaza's southernmost city.
Responding to Biden's announcement, several members of Netanyahu's hard-right government slammed Biden, accusing him of weakness and alleging that his actions were good for Hamas.
Heritage Minister Amichay Eliyahu, from the hardline Otzma Yehudit party, accused Biden of following the path of former British prime minister Neville Chamberlain, who attempted to appease Nazi German dictator Adolf Hitler in 1938. Otzma Yehudit leader and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir simply tweeted "Hamas (loves) Biden."

The rest of the article is about the Israeli left opportunistically attacking Netanyahu for not being nice enough to Biden.

Eh, maybe we should let Biden cut them off. I'm kind of sick of the Israeli left.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. If you don't have the strength to stand up for yourself, why should the rest of us care?

Student sues Rutgers University for antisemtism, claiming the school allowed antisemitic thugs to intimidate her.

A Jewish student from Bergen County sued Rutgers University Thursday, alleging that she was harassed in her dorm after she attended a pro-Israel event.
Rebecca "Rivka" Schafer, 19, said she suffered other instances of antisemitism as well at Rutgers' New Brunswick campus, where students set up an encampment in recent weeks to protest the military campaign in Gaza and the university's ties to Israel.
The suit, filed in state Superior Court, seeks unspecified monetary damages from Rutgers, which Schafer accused of discrimination and allowing a hostile environment to fester against Jewish students.
"For years, Rutgers' Jewish students have reported incidents and concerns to Rutgers; yet Rutgers continues to tolerate faculty members, guest speakers, groups, student and student organizations that legitimize or endorse antisemitic expression and actions," the lawsuit says.

According to the suit, Rivka was targeted by fellow students after she went to an event intended to rally support for Israel this spring. That came amid a non-binding student referendum on whether Rutgers should divest its endowment from companies with ties to "the government of Israel's human rights violations."
Two days later, on March 28, Rivka found fliers with her photo posted throughout her dormitory, the lawsuit said. The picture was accompanied by the messages "Free Palestine" and "Free Gaza" and urged students to vote in favor of Rutgers Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) Student Referendum vote.
"The message to Rivka and her peers was clear," according to the suit."Don't support Israel, we know where you sleep."
The goal was to "harass, intimidate and bully Jewish students, to create a hostile school environment for Jewish students and to suppress the vote of Jewish students, including Schafer," the complaint said.
The suit faults Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway for allowing the divestment vote to go forward. Holloway was warned by Jewish students that it would stoke antisemitism, the lawsuit said. The suit cites another incident that allegedly occurred a week after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, in which 1,200 people were killed and another 250 taken hostage. At a meeting in the dorm, another student "expressed appreciation that there was a large death toll in Israel." The comment earned appreciative snaps from other participants, who were "extremely aggressive" in their commentary about Israel, according to lawsuit.
"As a result of this conduct by her fellow dorm residents, Schafer left the meeting scared and shaking," it said.

I mean, there's some snowflaking going on here, obviously, but I do approve of suing these people.

Trust the experts:

"...defendants aren't the only ones with speedy trial act rights, we the people have them too."

Yes, they are, and no, we don't. I get you have to say this stuff because you work for MSNBC but Jesus.
— Alfredo Caponeleoni 🇺🇲🇮🇹 (@acopo1024) May 7, 2024

You know, how the Constitution says that defendants and the government have the right to a speedy trial, right?

It's like David French explaining to us that the Constitution protects the government's right to free speech, too, and if that free speech takes the form of censorship, that's all constitutional!

I have to say, I tried this and got the correct information, but maybe they've fixed it since this was recorded:

“Hey Google, How Many Jews Were Killed by Nazis?” vs. “Hey Google, what was the Nakba?”

There is something ROTTEN at Google.

"Carry on putting them up and they'll carry on falling over."

Yet another of Sadiq Khan's ULEZ cameras falls victim to the Blade Runners in Hillingdon, West London—just 36 hours after it was installed.

This is now the sixth camera that has been "retired" in this location alone.

Within London's 'Ultra Low Emission Zone', drivers are charged a daily fee of £12.50 for driving vehicles that don't meet arbitrary "minimum emissions standards", essentially making driving an unaffordable luxury for people who can't afford to buy an expensive electric (or newer model ICE) vehicle, as they struggle to make ends meet already due to runaway inflation, extortionate energy bills and a cost of living crisis.

A group calling itself the "ULEZ Blade Runners" has vowed to remove or disable every last ULEZ camera in London.

Israel cannot afford to lose a war. It won't be an armistice, peace treaty, territorial concessions. It will be a debellation and mass expulsion, if not mass slaughter, of all Jewish inhabitants.

This is, indeed, desired by many Democratic constituencies (even the mass slaughter) but the remaining moderates shouldn't think Israel can treat a conflict like the US does.

The problem with that is Israel relies heavily already on reservists and to some degree that dictates how long military actions can be conducted before severe damage to the public fisc and the economy.

If they chose to be Sparta via totally internal defense acquisition and spending, they would have to end democracy as no nation can operate as a siege nation for decades.

Israel has been under mortal threat since it was created in 1948 and one of the reasons that they begged, borrowed, and frankly stole, nuclear weapon technology in the early 60's. They believed it was the only way to preserve Israel as a democracy because when it came down to it, they could trust no one. Munich was still in a lot of people's minds.

In light of the Biden declaration about withholding weapons from Israel, RFK has previously come out as fully supporting Israel by any means necessary.

So.

RFK, are you willing to put some distance between you and the Democrat Party here on this? If you continue your full support for Israel, you'll peel off plenty of D voters who are fed up with Biden Inc. playing fast and loose with this stuff.

Are you willing to do it? Are you, or is this whole thing you're doing just a sham?

89 David Axelrod hit President Biden over his economic messaging...Biden has framed struggles with the economy in the past tense, and treated the issue as already won. Most Americans disagree, with polls showing most trusting former President Trump on the economy more.

Axelrod said it’s “absolutely true” that the economy has significantly improved under Biden. “But that’s not the way people are experiencing the economy..they are experiencing it through the lens of the cost of living. He is a man who’s built his career on empathy, why not lead with the empathy?”

“I think he’s making a terrible mistake,” he continued. “If he doesn’t win this race, it may not be Donald Trump that beats him, it may be his own pride.”

Whose side is Axelrod on? Support the Dem candidate for God's sake. Seems he should be criticizing the repug candidate who's on trial for election interference and has three other indictments pending.

Frankly Alexrod seems to have a personal grudge against Biden. Anybody know the history?

Constructive criticism good. Chronic hate boners bad.

The shipment consisted of 1,800 2,000lb (907kg) bombs and 1,700 500lb bombs, the official told the BBC.

Israel has not “fully addressed” US concerns over humanitarian needs of civilians in Rafah, the official said.

142 My guess is RFK Jr. does not think he will win, but thinks he might help defeat Biden. He does have a point on the Covid and mRNA screw ups, but all his other points (jailing climate doubters, and more) are insane.

So maybe he takes 10% of the insane vote, which is mostly leftist?

If there was an election ripe for a third party candidate to have a real shot, this was it. Never a better chance since '92, and in that one, Perot stepped on his on dick, showing he was a sham too.

Nobody knows what's in anyone else's head, but I think RFK did have a legit shot. He doesn't now, he's not doing a damn thing to demonstrate any real backbone... other than sticking to his own pet issues.

146 "Eh, maybe we should let Biden cut them off. I'm kind of sick of the Israeli left."

There's barely any Israeli Left left: in the last elections, the Labor party just barely surpassed the 3.25% threshold for representation, while Meretz (American-style progressives) fell below it; polls indicate that in the next election Meretz will manage to return but Labor will drop out for the first time ever.

Benny Gantz (Blue and White party, now called National Unity) is a retired general who created a centrist party led by retired generals and high-ranking intelligence officials, while Yair Lapid (Yesh Atid party) had similarly created a centrist party before the 2013 elections to capitalize on quality of life issues and irritation at the Charedim.

Otherwise, the parties are right-wing (Likud, Israel Beitenu), national religious (who are also right-wing), or Charedi (Israeli term for Chassidim and similar groups).

You can literally never tell at that level who foreign leaders get along with personally and who they do not and it doesn't break down over ideological lines either.

One of the reasons that Foreign ministries exist is to routinize and bore everyone with placeholder vague statements to avoid friction when leaders don't get along personally. Plus it comes with the bonus of firing the minister (or secretary) dealing with foreign affairs if there is a screwup.

Even better is using Bing's CoPilot. It provides suitable summaries with its references attached.

It is still a LLM so it doesn't do well with "What is the meteorological name of the cloud formation over my area right now." Asking it to not only get the location of the query, but to get a weather forecast that includes cloud deck height (which METAR would do) so I got a "this time of year... Stratocumulus or Altocumulus (the real answer is: Altostratus but the judge would also accept Nimbostratus )
