Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

First of all, this if for his campaign. Not Whitehouse briefings. At least the Dems at least treat the two differently.
Secondly, this is for disruptions to the campaign events, which you would expect it's the campaign job to control the narrative if events. It's one thing to say he's not listening, it's another to suggest they are ignoring it.
You guys do know Biden officially sent his top aides to Michigan to meet the American Muslim community, only to rejected a meeting by them? Look, I am all for not killing innocent, but if some are going to behave "it's my way or no deal" without even considering any discussion, that's just extremism talking.
If you don't know, US support to Israel is ridiculous over weighted. Part post WW2 reimagined world order, part middle east power projection, and part protecting religious holy land. For the past 20 years, I was always surprised how taboo it was to dare criticize Israel in US politics and media. There is a lot of inertia and vague "obligation" to support the survivors of Holocaust, no questions asked. Because the Jewish people survived the Nazi, and we fight Nazi. Simple, morally simple.
Ironically, the Nazi of today are at the fronts of Ukraine and they are in the US, but we ignore acknowledging the world has changed, and instead focus on "antisemitism" debate which I think is a bit out of fashion. Dare I say, the Israel government is walking down the extreme right, nationalism path. Acting in ways their people's history were so vehemently against.
And that's the crux of it. Muslim community are ignoring or saying you don't get credit for something happened a century ago, so today, Israel acting the bully when they can do so much better. While US and the West have ingrained and championed the saving of Jewish (from Nazi) was the right thing, why wouldn't we keep saving. And we all know how hard it is to change a long held belief.
Full disclosure, what I see as acceptable end game is US finally start winding down military support to Israel, even if we're are still publicly supporting them. Neither side likes that.
tl;dr - op news is about maintaining order at campaign events, headline is click-baity
tl;dr2 - sidetracked, the issue is about Israeli and Palestinine, which have their own perspective not easily changed.
