HE’S CONFUSED. THE CHINESE PAY HIM BUT HE NEEDS JEWS. White House under fire over Biden’s mixed messages on Israel.

HARSH, BUT FAIR:

I opposed @Harvard firing their president, Claudine Gay. Having a plagiarist at the helm of our most prestigious academic institution is the perfect symbol for an utterly corrupt system.

JUST HELP KEEP ISRAEL ARMED WELL ENOUGH TO KILL THEM ALL: Senators Call on UN to Open an ‘Independent Investigation’ Into Hamas Sexual Violence.

LIKE WHITE HOUSE INTERNS AND HARVARD STUDENTS, HOUSE STAFFERS ARE TOO BIG FOR THEIR BRITCHES: Jewish Congressman Max Miller Confronted By Anti-Semitic House Staffer. Missing from reports: The staffer’s name and employer.

WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE? White House cleans up Biden’s claim that Israel is losing support: John Kirby insists the U.S. and Netanyahu STILL have a close relationship and the president still believes in a two-state solution as he’s bombarded with questions.

Pressed repeatedly about the status of American-Israeli relations and if Biden was putting conditions on his support of the war against Hamas, Kirby said: ‘He expressed those concerns as a real friend of Israel, somebody who loves and respects Israel and has for his whole public life.’

He noted that Biden and Netanyahu remain friends.

‘They have a long standing relationship. They’re going to keep that relationship. They’re going to keep talking. I think you can expect that he will be talking to Prime Minister Netanyahu in the future about what we can do to continue to support Israel.’

The American reassurance came after Israel vowed its war against Hamas will continue no matter what and rejected one of Biden’s key requests regarding the Palestinian Authority.

‘Israel will continue the war against Hamas with or without international support,’ its Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said.

His double down came after Biden’s rebuke of the Israeli prime minister.

Previously: The White House keeps walking back Biden’s remarks.

NEITHER OUR ENEMIES NOR OUR ALLIES ARE AFRAID OF BIDEN ANYMORE: Netanyahu, Israeli FM to Biden: We’re Destroying Hamas Whether You Like It or Not.

To be fair, our enemies never were afraid, since they had him on their payrolls.

FROM MONALISA FOSTER:  Threading the Needle.

#CommissionEarned

Talia Merritt, a former military sniper once known as Death’s Handmaiden, is a woman haunted by her past. Her cybernetic arm and her phantom—the implant that allows her to control it—serve as a constant reminder of what she’s lost. But Talia is hoping to leave her past and her reputation behind and start anew on the colony world of Goruden, a hardscrabble planet of frontier-minded people seeking a better life. And she’s finally earned enough to start to make that dream come true.

In the bucolic town of Tsuri, she interviews for a job as a marksmanship instructor for local bigwig Signore Ferran Contesti. But Contesi is not what he seems. A recent arrival on Goruden, he hopes to mold the colony world in his own image—an image at odds with the unencumbered life free of government and corporate meddling that Talia has come to find.

Soon, Talia finds herself thrust into the start of another conflict. Talia desperately wants to stay out of it, but she may not have that luxury.

With the fate of a planet and her own peace of mind hanging in the balance, Talia must decide whether or not to once again take up the mantle of Death’s Handmaiden. . . .
