I am prepared to be disappointed. What I want him to say about Israel won't be said: conditions to aid, permanent humanitarian ceasefire, and an apology for the failure to act sooner to protect Palestinians from a murderous Netanyahu. Since he will rehash the old tropes about unwavering support for Israel and its right to defend itself, he is going to fall down on that fatal sword hard.
I believe the only way to begin pulling himself out of the hole he has dug would be to admit to his mistake in supporting Netanyahu’s government, apologize for the arms sent and announce that no more arms and financial support will be provided for the genocide. Even that will not be enough for many. Me included.
Some great advice here, sadly so many people (me included) won’t be watching. Besides, I’m not looking for some talking points or other rehearsed punchlines to change my mind, I’m looking for action and the actions of this self-proclaimed Zionist president are disastrous when I comes to the one issue I care the most, innocent Palestinians lives.
Is it just me or are we living in a moment of history that WTF, doesn’t come close to what we are witnessing. The republicans have departed all decency through their intoxication from power. They are running a candidate who in days gone by would be done and dusted. Joe should focus on majority issues that must be addressed. Women’s reproductive rights and safety from gun violence at home. Internationally a proper resolution of conflicts as in Israel and Ukraine, with a commitment to balance for the Palestinian’s plight.
9. Bring up the fact that we as a country were, in fact, NOT better four years ago with COVID and record unemployment
10. Take aim at the fools who blame him 100% for what's happening in another country just because it's easier for them to blame him than faceless Hamas
Joe Biden is just going to gaslight people that his rebranded 6-week humanitarian pause to let Netanyahu reload before starting the slaughter again is actually a meaningful ceasefire. He’s also going to gloss over the fact that he’s continuing to ship Israel weapons while they deliberately starve a civilian population, because his brain is frozen in 1977 and he refuses to process what the Israeli government has become. Why would I bother watching this charade?
I don’t find his would-be compassionate comments on the slaughter anything but performative while he routinely vetoes a ceasefire, ignores the work of the ICJ, and allows his spokespeople to malign those of us who protest—so many of us Jewish—as comparable to the Charlottesville Nazis. While coming up with idiotic solutions to real starvation such as dropping food from the sky and creating a new port (how long will it take with children dying daily and would Israel allow aid through anyway?) he aids Netanyahu in his longterm goal of destroying the one organization that knows how to help and has lost over a hundred staff members to that end, UNRWA. Yes, I will vote for him, but with nausea rising in my throat. The way he comports himself Thursday is irrelevant.
What the Republicans have done is portray Biden as a drooling idiot who can't string three words together, with competent performances like the one he gave tonight, Biden proves that's a lie.
And they always do this, the Republicans, they always overreach, they take what are legitimate concerns about Biden's age, something that could be a good issue for them, but they can't leave it there, they've got to turn it up to 11 to appease the craziest elements of their base, and they end up talking in language that makes no sense to normal people, doesn't align with the reality that normal people see. They can't help themselves.
Just remember - Republican actions are a threat to you and your families Freedom, Health, Wealth, and Safety. Power and control is what they want and the rest of America be damned. Take a look at Project 2025. Want to live under Republican rule (not government) like that? Not a pretty picture for the future of America. If there will even be one............
Mehdi needs to think carefully about his support to Biden. To give advice to Genocide Joe is to support the guy who is responsible for at least 30,000 dead Palestinians. This damages the credibility of Mehdi Hasan and may lead to the loss of many subscribers.

Here's hoping his prep team subscribes to Zeteo. Great advice.

8. Get into a time machine and step down to let someone else run
9. Figure out how to address his assistance to genocide and lying about beheaded babies in his memoirs after he loses
10. Advanced care planning

Sage advice. Outside the box.
I think Joe and his staff read this. He nailed it last night!
We need to send our hospital ship USS MERCY !!!
