This is the best summary I could come up with:

A former aide to President Donald Trump and current co-host of ABC's The View is warning Democrats that protest votes could potentially lead to more catastrophic events in the Middle East.

Joe Biden is on pace to face presumptive Republican nominee Trump in a rematch of the 2020 election, but the president's handling of the ongoing conflict in Gaza between Israel and Hamas, which quickly escalated following the October 7 terrorist attacks, has drawn scrutiny from many within the Democratic Party.

Griffin went on to say she was "conflicted" because of the options for president but implored voters to think of the long-term ramifications of not voting for Biden based on this singular issue.

Co-host Sunny Hostin seemed to empathize with the protest voters in the Midwest swing states that are predicted to ultimately determine the results of the November 5 election.

When Joy Behar, another co-host, interjected and said the war could end quicker if Hamas released hostages, Hostin said anything short of a ceasefire could continue to galvanize such voters against Biden.

On Wednesday, Andrés told Reuters reporter Jeff Mason that his nonprofit "was deliberately targeted" and questioned how the U.S. could supply aid and military support to Israel.

The original article contains 520 words, the summary contains 201 words. Saved 61%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

All they want is the beach front property to build condos. They don't care about people.
Human life has no value to these people, never has.

Woah, what an offensive categorization of the Israeli people.

They also want a new canal to undercut Egypt's suez.

It's netanyahu and that corrupt government, not the actual citizens of Israel.

It’s actually drilling rights for all the oil under that beach (sound familiar?), but yeah, condos too I guess.

Trump no doubt made deals to acquire beachfront land in Gaza.... Just need to get those dead bodies cleared away

Like this is that difrent from biden

Has no one seen Gaza lately? Looks like Biden has done a pretty good job of leveling it, without a thought, and several million dollars richer for it.

[-] DancingBear@midwest.social -3 points 6 months ago

Unfortunately, Biden already is allowing this to happen, however

Trump probably would too, but Biden already is

[-] mlg@lemmy.world -4 points 6 months ago

You mean like what Biden is doing right now?

US says Israel has not violated international law during Gaza war

Biden administration set to greenlight $18 billion sale of F-15 fighter jets to Israel

U.S. signs off on more bombs, warplanes for Israel

These "but muh Trump would" statements are as tone deaf as Biden saying he cares about his Muslim constituents.

Both Biden and Trump are motivated by the aipac money. Period. Don’t fool yourself.

You can’t shame the younger voters into voting for Biden. They don’t care what Hillary Clinton thinks and they are tired of being lied too by corporate donors, I mean corporate politicians.

Joe Biden is almost done fully leveling Gaza already. Sends 1800 more bunker buster bombs to israel.

[-] ABCDE@lemmy.world -5 points 7 months ago

"If he thought it was politically advantageous, [Trump] would level Gaza without a second thought"

He didn't actually say that, just so we're clear here.

[-] Natanael@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 months ago

He just said Israel should finish the problem and that he'll ban Palestinians from USA, but surely that says nothing about his opinions on the matter? Right? Right?

Can you quote instead? I'm referring to this article, since that's what have I responded to. The headline is clickbait and we should be better than it.
