Nobody would damn Biden if he didn't attend. He's got a very effective SoS and DoD already there.

Important to remember, IMO, that propaganda is a tool of war...and employed by both sides.
Almost always includes the words babies, women, rape, unconfirmed, under investigation, etc.
In other words, both sides tend to skirt the truth. Noting these examples in every report can be very helpful. Just saying....

This whole situation does remind me a little bit of that time that a missile exploded in Poland near the Ukraine border and the world started screaming that it was a deliberate Russian attack... only for it to turn out to be a Ukrainian air defence missile that landed there completely by accident.
At least that moment didn't result in hundreds dead.

UPenn Donors Pile Pressure on School as David Magerman Pulls Support
First it was Apollo Global Management Inc.’s Marc Rowan blasting the University of Pennsylvania, then Dick Wolf of Law & Order followed by former US diplomat and businessman Jon Huntsman and billionaire Ronald Lauder.

Bloomberg) -- First it was Apollo Global Management Inc.’s Marc Rowan blasting the University of Pennsylvania, then Dick Wolf of Law & Order followed by former US diplomat and businessman Jon Huntsman and billionaire Ronald Lauder.
Now it’s David Magerman, who helped build the trading systems of Renaissance Technologies. He castigated Penn’s “misguided moral compass” in a letter to President Elizabeth Magill and board chair Scott Bok, citing the school’s hosting of the Palestine Writes Literature Festival last month and its response to the Hamas attack on Israel in October.
“People who care about morality and ethics should just leave institutions that show they don’t,” Magerman said in a phone interview Tuesday. He added that he was “deeply ashamed” of his association with the university and plans to cease all donations.

I think that since he has announced it, and especially since the hospital explosion, it is critical that Biden go to Israel.
In reference to the last video. Europe needs to prepare for the blowbacks for the Israel /Hamas war. These countries took in many muslim citizens to which some where radicalized and trained in Syria and Iraq.
All you need to do is read the Rampage and Terrorist Attacks section on WS to see the Islamic attacks in Europe over the years.MOO.

Israel has no need to issue propaganda. There are plenty of photos and video that prove the horrific terrorist attack on the very innocent human victims. Twice in the last two days, I have received an email from a online publication asking me to subscribe and making outrageous, propaganda claims. My response was to hit spam.

With all due respect, there is no such thing as ordinary Gazans. They dont even really exist.
Residents of the Gaza strip have passports that say "nationality unknown".
How humiliating can that be?
Israel has crossed all red lines - Abbas
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is now giving a speech.He begins by calling the blast at the Al Ahli hospital a "hideous war massacre".
Israel has "crossed all red lines", he adds.
Israel denied its military was involved and said the blast was caused by rockets fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
The militants have also denied blame.

A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said it might share intelligence or raw data with the world to prove that Israel is not responsible for the attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as Israel claims.
IDF spokesperson Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus said “maybe" when pushed about releasing more information.
"But after a very serious review, I can say that is the information that we have now we are confident and the information that we have says this was a failed launch by Islamic Jihad," he said.
In response to a question about if there were IDF missile strikes in the vicinity or blocks within the hospital in Gaza, Conricus said: “Not as far as I’m aware.”
While Israel says "IDF does not target hospitals,” the United Nations and Doctors Without Borders say during the past 10 days, Israeli airstrikes have struck medical facilities, including hospitals and ambulances.
Officials in Gaza blame Israel for the hospital attack, while IDF says it was Islamic Jihad's "failed rocket launch" and denies it was behind the hit.

IDF may share intelligence proving Israel not responsible for Gaza hospital bombing, spokesperson says
From CNN’s Sahar Akbarzai and Samira JafariA spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces said it might share intelligence or raw data with the world to prove that Israel is not responsible for the attack on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza as Israel claims.

I don't see my passport as holding that much importance over my identity nor my value as a human being.
Just my thoughts.

EU prime ministers have vowed to step up their efforts to mitigate a looming humanitarian crisis in Gaza in a bid to present a united diplomatic front after a week of dysfunction and mixed messages from leaders in Brussels.
After an emergency video conference to address the conflagration in the Middle East, the European Council leader, Charles Michel, stressed the need to present “a clear unified course of action that reflects the complexity of the unfolding situation”.
Tuesday’s talks were preceded by a statement by EU leaders on Sunday strongly condemning Hamas’s “terrorist attacks” while mentioning “the importance to ensure the protection of all civilians at all times” and the need for Israel to comply with international law.
Michel spoke of the need to use all the leverage the EU could muster to help the hostages held by Hamas and to persuade Egypt to approve a humanitarian corridor for aid and refugees.
After terrorist attacks in Belgium and France, a heightened concern about the return of hate crime and speech was also a priority, said Michel.
Michel made his remarks after a joint press conference with the European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen, who has been the subject of criticism over her failure to emphasis Israel’s obligation to comply with international law while defending itself.
