One political advocacy group thinks Republicans should lay off criticizing President Joe Biden in the wake of Hamas’ attacks on Israel.
Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson sent a statement to media on Sunday that places Hamas’ attacks squarely on Hamas and criticizes Republican politicians for targeting Biden instead of the primary culprit. Several Republicans, including GOP presidential hopefuls, have ripped Biden since the Hamas incursion, attempting to link his relationship with Iran to the Saturday terror attacks in Israel.
“The world sees the Hamas slaughter of Israeli civilians and their kidnapping of innocent men, women and children as the terror it is,” Wilson said. “It appropriately blames Hamas for perpetrating this horrifying attack on Israel and its people, and for the murder and kidnapping of American and other nations’ citizens.”
He added: “The MAGA party instead views Hamas terrorism as a cheap opening to bash President Biden in a contemptible and dishonest attempt to score political points.”
Wilson also noted that Republicans do not want to support Ukraine as it wards off Russian forces, saying that “today’s MAGA party will always put politics over our allies.”
One example of critical Republicans is Florida U.S. Sen. Rick Scott. He has sharply criticized Biden since the Saturday Hamas attacks, appearing in front of the White House in a video on X, formerly known as Twitter, saying “the Biden administration has got to start standing up.”
The Lincoln Project was founded by former Republican politicos who abandoned the party when former President Donald Trump rose to power.
Hamas launched a surprise attack in Israel on Saturday. At least 600 people have reportedly been killed in Israel, according to The Associated Press. Israel formally declared war on Sunday and is retaliating against Hamas. The Associated Press is providing live updates on the conflict here.

Is there a single US person or organization of note that is well-informed about Israel-Palèstine and reports or explains or “opìnionates” without any spin or bias?

if they are christian, no. people that believe and live by 2000 year old superstitions, aren’t critical thinkers. so since christians dominate our culture so much, you are right. i’m biased against all religions so i see most conflicts religious, or in the case of putin, using religion to dominate. i hear putin revived the old russian orthodox group to use them as pawns. to be correct islam is younger than 200 years old by a few hundred years, and judaism is much older. anyway take religion away and things might get better. pot would be legal for sure. religious murder, wouldn’t

Fox posters have forgotten that their MAGA followers are the terrorist who screamed hateful antisemitic rants in Charlottesville and repeated deplorable attacks on Jewish places of worship. Trump opened the door to hate and welcomed these ugly nationalist who would sell America to Putin if given half the chance.
Impeach Biden

How many US Presidents said they were going to move the US Embassy to Jerusalem? Who was the President that finally did it? Stop with your nonsense. There is blood on Biden’s hands as it is out now that Iran had a hand in this operation. Biden is simply incompetent. Wake up!

Does someone need a reminder that Democrats were just as enthusiastic about supporting an invasion of Iraq?
“The primary policy is to keep sanctions in place to deny Saddam the billions of dollars that would allow him to really crank up his program, which neither you nor I believe he’s ever going to abandon as long as he’s in place.” Senator Biden in Sept 1998
His support in 2002/3 made opposition from other Democrats untenable.

Hamas is not reacting to Biden. They are pushing a struggle that began in the 1940’s, even Biden was young then.
Moving the embassy to Jerusalem was inflammatory.
The US should have used its’ leverage (aid and protection) to compel Israel to abandon settlements encroaching on the west back instead of standing by while Israel expands them.
Israel’s annexation of Golan is just, Syria started a war and got what was coming. Israel’s occupation of towns in the west bank such as Hebron, where 450,000 Palestinians are controlled to protect a thousand Israelis and the graves of holy figures is not. But it’s a reaction to terrorist attacks which are the only tool the Palestinians have. Painful concessions on both sides are necessary.
So now we have people, treated like animals, acting like animals, taking revenge on an Israeli society that ignores them. It’s all pretty horrible but Republican policies, the blank check, have nothing to bring about a lasting peace if that is even possible.
IB, I’m not sure how you can even blame Biden since you are convinced he’s senile anyway and wouldnt have a clue.

The admirable goal of the Lincoln Project is to totally destroy today’s Republican Party…. one candidate at a time….. so that the party may be rebuilt from the ground up!

Thanks Rick,
Well all Demoncrat voters are equally as guilty as the American Jews. So as you see I’m not just picking on the American Jewish voters, just pointing the sick irony in their case.
All American Demoncrat voters are equally guilty for voting for the party of weakness which emboldened our overseas enemeys to attack Isreal.
Thanks Rick,

someone please take this garbage to the dump. calling dems (the party that is not a cult ) weak is ridiculous. when the recent vote in congress was taken, the dems voted in a mature manner as a unified group, not as a gang of bickering fools. if anything emboldened israel’s enemies as you claim, it was the bickering maga cult fools in congress not having a leader. go suck on that fact you maga cultist fool.

Good mornting Rick,
Excellant wacky contrairian reply Rick.
I, Earl Pitts American had 2189 former Dook 4 Brains Lefty’s call into The Earl Pitts Ametican Fan Club to renounce their former Dook 4 Brains Leftist ways and sign up for our “Recovery Class” which eases them back into polite society thanks to your above wacky contrairian reply to my great wisdom-share.
You are the best Rick!!!!
Earl
*with the EPA Fan Club membership fees and the “Recovery Class” fees we cleared over $165, 000. in pure “D” profit in the last 2 & 1/2 hours of business “SO FAR” this morning and our call center is overwhelmed. Gotta go and oversee our call center operations until this tidal wave of dook 4 brains leftys who want to change their wicked ways and become Conservatives subsides*

War on civilians is beyond disgusting.
And should be beyond belief ìn this day and age.
Not that we haven’t been guilty of it. But not recently.

Good mornting Rick,
Just as a response to your email inquiry:
It’s OK for you to reply to other posrers who are not me, Earl Pitts American, it helps to mask our employer/employee relationship and adds percieved public legitamancy to your wacky contrarian replys to my postings of great wisdom knowledge-drops to our troubled nation
Thank you Rick and keep up the great work. Earl

It is the responsibility of every voting American to electorally destroy the Republican Party!
Today’s Republican Party must be totally destroyed before it can be rebuilt from the ground up! It is completely absurd to install an avowed MAGA conspiracy theorist, like Gym Jordan, into the Speaker of the House position.
Republicans are America’s worst enemy!
Vote all Republicans out of office!

“Siege” of Gaza. Does that mean ground invasion? Of so, then what?
