Well, if "Biden and his administration" cut the funds (due to Israel not providing any reasonable plan for protection of civilians) than the munitions will probably last a couple of weeks.

P.S. And the way they (Israel) are doing it they will never finish off anything short of killing everybody in Gaza.

But Biden’s staunch support for Israel’s war against Hamas, which has now led to the deaths of more than 34,000 Palestinians, has caused deep fractures in the coalition that sent him to the White House in 2020
(Bold added)

So in the opinion of the writer, it was either Israel's fault or Biden's support for Israel that caused the deaths of 34,000 Palestinians. It seems that she would probably prefer that we all just forget about the October 7th attack on Israel by Hamas altogether.

While there may be some ambiguity as to what the pronoun "which" refers, it seems clear that the writer intended it to refer to the war itself, not Biden's support. To put it another way, the writer states that the war lead to the deaths of 34,000 people and not Biden's support lead to the death of 34,000 people.

It is purely speculation on my part, but I believe that Biden's pressure upon Netanyahu to show some restraint actually kept the death count lower than it would have been otherwise.

Israel is notifying civilians by leaflets, texts and phone calls to move. Does any other country do that? What about Russia bombing Ukraine or Ukraine bombing Russia? Do they give warnings?

Did Hamas GIVE ISRAEL WARNINGS FOR OCT 7th??????

It's acceptable because if Israel doesn't finish off Hamas NOW, Oct 7th will occur over and over again.

The problem for your 1.7M civilians is that they put Hamas in control and now Hamas hides behind, under and over them. If Hamas doesn't let them leave, per Israel's warnings, it's on them.I could care less if every one of them is bulldozed into the sea after what happened to innocent Jews, and others, who were killed, dismembered, raped and kidnapped by these animals on Oct 7th!

I can't with these headlines. And this one is 'tame'.


Hamas accepts Gaza cease-fire; Israel says it will continue talks but presses on with Rafah attacks


Quote:
Hamas said Monday it accepted an Egyptian-Qatari cease-fire proposal, but Israel said the deal did not meet its core demands and it was pushing ahead with an assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah. Still, Israel said it would continue negotiations.
They make it sound like they agreed to a mutual deal with Israel and mean ol'Israel backed out.
But Hamas agreed to something they discussed with Egypt.Quatar,...Without Israel.

Of course, Israel gonna be like,..what? No,..Try again.

Believed to be hostage, 61-year-old Lior Rudaeff confirmed dead, his body held in Gaza

Quote:
Hostage Lior Rudaeff was murdered by Hamas terrorists on October 7 and his body is currently being held in Gaza, the Hostages and Missing Families Forum announced on Tuesday evening.
This is two believed prisoners that were confirmed dead within the past two weeks. The real question now is not how many are alive, it's how many are dead?


These animals took corpses as well as hostages over the border into their rat holes!

Many of Israel's technological, medical and military developments are widely used by the US and our military.

Not true.
This is Hamas propaganda and has been debunked, repeatedly.

At least you realize it is disgusting spin.

Here is another fact: there haven't been 34,000 "palastinian" deaths.
Not even close.
That is a number Hamas provides for propaganda purposes, and CNN just pretends it is fact.
