I'm going to go ahead and take the daring stance that Joe Biden is not to blame for every Israeli-Palistinian conflict. There is in fact more than one axis to view the world and we don't have to blame either Democrats or Republicans for an attack in a longstanding conflict on the other side of the world.
TBF he is old enough to have started it. /s
Well he would have been six years old when Israel was carved out of its current neighborhood, but I like to believe it's possible.
carved out means arbitrarily stolen from the locals by foreign powers as a place to dump Jews they didn't want living in their own countries, right?
You solved the Middle East crisis! Who knew all we needed was to be racist enough to simplify the issue to its only conclusion.
Don't forget reductive!
I actually meant reductive. Thanks.
That's just how politically savvy and skilled he is.
This is the fault of [current Democrat President], says most predictable bunch of baboons ever.

Guess which button they press....
I'm fairly comfortable with Biden passing a Presidental test. What I do worry about is a dysfunctional c9ngress.
Well the house is functionally incapacitated at the moment, so it's ability to fuck things us across the globe is minimized.
So,at least for a little while, it's a non functional congress.
Good lord can the GOP pick better fights and not be stupid as fuck? Please stop doing the be stupid challenge...
They prefer sound bytes to policy.
GOP try not to take all attention is good attention literally Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
Biden: "I unreservedly give Israel my full support."
Republicans: "no! You're not supporting them hard enough!"
What a clown show Republicans are.
This will have implications for the speaker race, Ukraine Aid and the budget. Good luck Joe, looks like an even tougher road ahead
criticism from GOP presidential rivals that his administration's policies led to this moment.
They behave like a bunch of drunks.
"He's the most pathetic example of poor leadership in our current time" quoted the interim speaker of the house. sic
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON (AP) — The deadly Hamas militant attack on Israel and the massive retaliation it provoked from Jerusalem have thrust President Joe Biden into a Middle East crisis that risks expanding into a broader conflict and has left him fending off criticism from GOP presidential rivals that his administration’s policies led to this moment.
The potential for prolonged and expanding violence could test Biden’s leadership on both the world stage and at home as he tries to navigate between demonstrating unflinching support for Israel and fostering a broader peace in the combustible Mideast, where sympathetic militants were quick to loudly praise the action by Hamas.
Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry in a statement did not condemn the Hamas attack, but noted the kingdom’s “repeated warnings of the dangers … of the situation as a result of the continued occupation, the deprivation of the Palestinian people of their legitimate rights, and the repetition of systematic provocations against its sanctities.”
Jonathan Schanzer, an analyst at the Washington think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies, said Biden did “a good job” at keeping Israel’s critics, particularly his fellow Democrats, at bay while Netanyahu sought to achieve his military objectives against Hamas during their last major conflict, an 11-day war in 2021.
In a briefing with Senate Foreign Relations Committee staff on Saturday, administration officials said the U.S. had warned Iran “through interlocutors” that direct involvement in the Gaza situation would imperil any future initiatives the U.S. might consider with the Islamic Republic, according to a congressional aide familiar with the session.
Another point of criticism leveled at the administration by Republicans is that its decision shortly after taking office to reverse a Trump-era ban on assistance to the Palestinians, including civilians in Gaza, may have helped fund the operation.
