President Biden is currently in Israel meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and on the flight to that country John Kirby explained what Biden would be doing when the two met face-to-face:
BREAKING: Biden will meet in Israel tomorrow with Prime Minister Netanyahu and with the Israeli war cabinet and “ask them tough questions as a friend of Israel” about their war plan and their strategy in Gaza going forward, White House John Kirby told reporters aboard Air Force 1

It seems that the "tough questions" from the Biden White House are focused on Israel:
No tough questions for Hamas, which killed 29 Americans and holds more hostage. No tough talk on Iran, which helped fund and plan the killing.

Hamas? Oh, Biden referred to the terrorist group that murdered 1,400 Israelis ten days ago as "the other team" when he talked to Prime Minister Netanyahu about the hospital explosion in Gaza. Biden's reading this from note cards:
BIDEN: "I was deeply saddened and outraged by the explosion at the hospital in Gaza yesterday and based on what I've seen, it appears as though it was done by the other team, not you, but there's a lot of people out there not sure, so we gotta overcome a lot of things" pic.twitter.com/rmSgPcCdAd

Was "there's a lot of people out there not sure" Team Biden's way of giving Rashida Tlaib and AOC a seat at the meeting table?
“The other team” is a weird way of describing Hamas terrorists https://t.co/NOdMIo0Q6l

Just a little weird, yes.
"... the other team"?!?! He makes it sound like Israel is playing foosball with Hamas.

So what next, Joe? We all shake hands and exchange high fives with "Good war...."? pic.twitter.com/HrvtUx6T9x
This is so embarrassing.

He talks to world leaders as if they're his buddies at a bar discussing a football game.
..."the other team"...

I somehow feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed, on behalf of a president that's not even my country's and half a globe away ...
“Other team”? Is that a fifteen yard penalty? Repeat 2nd down? This isn’t a game.

This kind of thing is as inspiring as it gets from a U.S. leader (cue massive eye roll):
BIDEN: "I asked the secretary of state when he and I were working in the Senate to write something for me and he said he wrote a line that I think is appropriate. He said, 'It's not we lead, it's not just...' Well, I won't go into it, I'll wait 'til later, taking too much time." pic.twitter.com/XxtspLBJs3

JFK: "Ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country."
Reagan: "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!"
Biden: "It's not we lead, it's not just... well, I won't go into it."

Biden's still meeting with Netanyahu and his Cabinet, but what exactly will be accomplished?
Capt Obvious just phoned.

Biden boarded AF1 for #Israel knowing:
~Meeting w. (3) leaders in Jordan cancelled
~America's ME embassies under dire threat
~He stiff-armed Bibi since December
~Israel does not need his "permiso"

His trip is likely to fan the flames of greater war. https://t.co/wqwb5364vU
It's quite possible this trip will culminate with Iran feeling more emboldened than ever. Oh, and speaking of that:
#BREAKING: UN Sanctions on Iran’s ballistic missile and drone program have just now expired (7pm ET, 12am GMT).
— Gabriel Noronha (@GLNoronha) October 18, 2023
Iran can now legally buy an ICBM from China or sell missiles/drones to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Russia. https://t.co/2jgQiluFBQ
What could possibly go wrong?
