An increasing number of Americans want Joe Biden to encourage Israel to stop military actions in Gaza; and Mr. Biden’s handling of the situation is now down to its lowest levels yet.

In the poll, conducted before Iran’s drone and missile attack on Israel, there wasn’t much clamor among the U.S. public for U.S. military action against Iran, were Iran to strike Israel. More would instead have the U.S. support Israel’s next actions.

      That’s simple; because I don’t.

      Opposing israel doesn’t actually require you to be a pathological liar. That’s only when people defend israel.

      You do it all the time. I don’t see why you suddenly have a problem with it.

      Quite an accusation. Have specific proof to make it credible? Because at first glance it seems like an incredibly childish response. As you’ve written it it’s functionally just “NO YOU!” With evidence it could be salvaged into a valid point poorly made. Although it should be noted you don’t even attempt to deal with the substance of their argument, opting instead to just insult them.

          My mod log? I’ve been here two months and never had a post removed by a mod period. You’re flat-out lying at this point and I dare you to prove otherwise. He said he accused the wrong person (me) and to me that’s completely fair because I certainly make mistakes.

              Fair enough, that’s an understandable mistake. Notice I still got downvoted though.

              Maybe consider backing up your accusations when you get aggressive before you get offended when you’re called out on a lack of proof. Burden of proof is on the accuser. Edit: Nice edit to delete half of the above comment and make it appear as if this isn’t responding to your specific insult.

                  No. For starters: the demand that I butt out because it’s not my business is coming from someone who involved themselves in an argument that wasn’t theirs to kick off the whole conversation. You can begin participation/speak up whenever you find fault but I can’t? 2nd - if you don’t want public scrutiny of bad arguments, don’t make bad arguments publicly. Your post as written was nothing more than unfounded bullying (didn’t deal with the argument, was just character assassination, and accusers must provide proof). I even said you could salvage it with evidence.

      As his history shows, Linkerbaan has one interest: talk shit about the US and its president. I know what I think of single/wedge-issue posters who queue flood dozens articles a week like it’s their job.
