Finally, we get a really hopeful sign from the President. Until now, I've been sickened by his talk that seems to me to equate anti semitism with outrage over the slaughter of Palestinians.
If this latest pronouncement forces Netanyahu to stand down, it's a very good thing.
Yes, it's way late, but still a good thing.

Well, I"m deeply disappointed and dismayed that Biden has backed off this initial step forward.
It seems to me the world is falling into step in opposing the immoral, destructive actions of the Israeli govt.
While 81 yo Biden is stuck in the past and moving toward blowing up his own reelection.
Of course it's the rest of us that will suffer the most.
Opposing the Netanyahu govt. is not anti-semitism.
Does it strike anyone else that our nation is gripped in fear?
Where are the challengers to Biden nostalgia?
Where are the brash, young leaders beckoning to a new path?
The so-called leaders of both political parties are, apparently, afraid to speak; afraid to step out; fearful of losing.
Poll after poll screams at us that there should be a better choice.
@sloudermilk Also: Polls are screaming all sorts of things, but not better choices. Polls are done to manipulate opinion, not guage it.
@sloudermilk It's almost like, after 50 years of being fed shit, and watching the country go to hell, and with "victories" that feel like we got socks for Christmas, maybe there's nothing left but fear and confusion, and a sense that we're not really building tomorrow, we're fighting not to die today.
I feel like that might have been bad for morale.
