NEW YORK (VINnews) — A Wall Street Journal editorial claims that Israel is intentionally endangering its soldiers more than previously in order to placate President Biden. Recently Biden has severely criticized the Israeli government, going as far as stating that the government “must change.” The WSJ says that Biden should be looking instead for change among the Palestinians in Judea and Samaria, 82% of whom believe Hamas’s murderous attack on Oct. 7th was legitimate, according to local pollsters. Hamas is now hugely popular in these regions, and the goal of eradicating Hamas must include the eradication of the national dreams…

With his praise, John Kirby seemingly walked back President Biden’s Tuesday comment that the IDF is “indiscriminately bombing” the Gaza Strip. U.S. National Security Council spokesman John Kirby praised Israel’s military Wednesday for protecting Gazan civilians more than almost any other army would, including America itself. Referring to a grid of the Gaza Strip that the IDF issued two weeks ago that divided the enclave into hundreds of mini-combat zones so that it could warn those who live in specific areas to flee before its forces enter to clear them of Hamas terrorists, Kirby told journalists, “They have published online…
