Behind the scenes: During the call with Biden on Monday, Netanyahu complained about Schumer’s speech and Biden’s endorsement of it. He also claimed the public political attacks against him in the U.S. are interference in Israeli politics, the sources said.

The sources said Biden pushed back and told Netanyahu he is not trying to undermine him and has no intention to intervene in Israeli domestic politics.

White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said in a briefing with reporters on Monday that Netanyahu “did raise his concerns about a variety of things that have come out in the American press.”

Sullivan added that from Biden’s perspective “this is not a question of politics. It’s not a question of public statements. It’s a question of policy and strategy.”

One source said the fact that Netanyahu aired his grievances with Biden helped to somewhat clear the atmosphere.

    Like so. I say Biden should stop supporting genocide, you immediately assume I’m advocating for voting against him.

      I was just answering the question why stuff gets down voted. I assume you are a single issue voter who votes with their heart instead of their brains and because of that are dangerous. Your rhetoric is helping Trump win and this next election when Trump wins we will all be in the fuck around find out faze of our life

        Why bother listening? You’ve already decided that anyone who thinks Biden should stop supporting genocide isn’t voting for him.

          Why promote what will cost us the country? It’s fine to criticize biden but when we are dealing with the death of democracy you shouldn’t push a narrative that helps trump

                I’m voting for Biden. I’m not advocating voting against him.

                I’m just saying that he should stop supporting genocide. But since you can’t justify genocide, you have to pretend that I want Trump to win.

                  By continuing the narrative of biden is a war hungry blood thirsty genocide Joe you are helping Trump. Its basic shit. People like you act like biden had a choice when you just discount the entirety of US and Isreal history. It’s not like biden can just say hey Isreal can you stop, please? You wanna Blame someone blame yourself for being only aware of issues when they get popular and not the 100 years prior. Or even the 1000 years before that… or the 1000 years before that

                    By continuing the narrative of biden is a war hungry blood thirsty genocide Joe you are helping Trump.

                    He should stop supporting genocide and so should you. Trump is a convenient excuse to silence opposition to the genocide you support.

                    People like you act like biden had a choice

                    Biden didn’t need to circumvent congress to sell Netanyahu weapons for genocide. He didn’t need to run interference for Netanyahu at the UN.

                    It’s not like biden can just say hey Isreal can you stop, please?

                    He can withhold or condition weapons sales and stop propping Netanyahu up at the UN.

                    You wanna Blame someone blame yourself for being only aware of issues when they get popular and not the 100 years prior. Or even the 1000 years before that… or the 1000 years before that

                    “That’s the way we’ve always done it” is a really shitty justification for supporting genocide.
