“We can’t lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas,” Biden said. “And they’re suffering as a result as well.”
Is it though? We also staunchly support Israel’s imminent invasion which is assuredly going to bloat this humanitarian crisis to grisly proportions.
The Strip has been without food, water, electricity. Hospitals are already overwhelmed and Hamas has hoarded resources and holed up in their rat nests. I highly doubt Israel’s demand of evacuating 1.1 million Gaza residents in under 24 hours has gone smoothly, especially in this situation where large amounts of civilians would be dependent on Hamas for basic survival necessities.
Maybe Biden meant the priority was addressing the crisis by exacerbating it? But in any case I see no other way this will go, the IDF will end up going in and [Netanyahu and his cronies probably get the strategic outcome they desired](https://twitter.com/haaretzcom/status/1711329340804186619?s=20).
But how. Any aid given, even food and water will likely be squirrelled away into Hamas’s tunnels ensuring the siege lasts even longer.

I don’t see how this statement aligns with Biden’s policy so far.
Genocide Joe and Apartheid Antony are all talk and no action. They support Israel’s war crimes.
world has really gone to shit since we voted this guy in.
edit: lol @ the downvotes with zero resplies. you guys know it’s objectively true.
Most of us recognize that Hamas must be annihilated, and that WILL cost civilian lives. There is no avoiding it, no matter the method Israel applies. I just hope that their rage isn’t blinding them to who the enemy is. It isn’t all Palestinians as Israel’s president said yesterday.
Glad to see the POTUS say something like this finally.
After Israel invades and takes over is when they will possibly get supplies into Gaza.
Many armies have done it that way, siege the area, then feed the civilians after you gain control over part of the area to try to establish order and good will.
Please don’t drop the ball on this situation Biden. The youth of today will determine your parties future, and if you think the old tow the line stuff will work, you’ll lose. Call out Israel for the Atrocities. Call out their policies of genocide. Call out the terrorists, but let the people know they are not the same as innocent civilians!
Imagine, Israel was set up in UK, the British instead of giving them Palestine, a land towards they share a theocratic relation, but not even an ethnic one. Then, today, London has a wall around it, all Britishers are second class citizens in their own homeland. Then some Britishers way down in the future, five generations later, or say, a week past. Finally have again had enough of the oppression, the injustice, the disposition, the murders, the racism, and everything that Palestinians suffer on a daily basis (FYI; while Gaza’s under the spotlight, the settlers in West Bank along with IDF, have killed over 50 Palestinians in this week alone, look it up, and there’s no HaMaS there), and decided to launch an attack on their occupier. I wonder if the Yanks would still give the oppressor, 10 million dollars a day, to carry on with whatever they’re doing to the Brits, while all the chins that the Yanks control, wag in favour of what the Brits are suffering through. Today, an ethnic cleansing.
Food for thought.
Then help them evacuate, away from Hamas tunnels that are under Gaza city.
That memo leaked and now he’s gotta feign concern.
A low one.
That’s actually good of him to recognise the problems Palestinians are facing, having previously talking about the effects of Hamas’ attacks on Israel.
While I support Israel to destroy the Hamas terrorists, this has to be done with minimal cost to human life. Denying food, water and electricity to two million Palestinians during all this chaos is going to turn this situation into a humanitarian crisis without precedent.
As a result, [Gaza has been turned into the world’s biggest prison](https://youtu.be/iWG7JB9saE4?si=jOxwua5Pa8e9u6xu). Now, after almost two decades of blockade, and countless warnings from the UN and human rights watch groups, Gaza is a hive of human misery and extremism. The last thing these people deserve is for what little they have to be taken from them
Helps by supporting the crisis and then is worried about it. Dementia is one hell of a disease.

The US is sending [white phosphorus rounds to Israel](https://citizenevidence.org/2023/10/13/israel-opt-identifying-the-israeli-armys-use-of-white-phosphorus-in-gaza/) as they use them on the Palestinians.
