WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden will travel to Israel this week, putting himself in harm’s way to show that he stands squarely with the country as it reels from Hamas’ surprise attack and prepares a ground invasion meant to wipe out the militant group on its border.
Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced the trip — the president's second foray into an active war zone this year, having traveled to Ukraine in February under the tightest secrecy. Biden is expected to meet with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other Israeli leaders during the trip, which may also include a visit to neighboring Egypt. U.S. officials have been discussing with Egypt

Just f...ing wonderful... now taxpayers will have to spring for another AF1 when it goes wheels up AND then be saddled with heels-up Cackler in the bargain. (of course it's perfectly manageable/safe to fly a puppet pResident into a war zone!)
That Obama and his wrecking crew are working overtime!

In an effort to 'all get along' I'm fine with Joe flying over there - and Harris. But we all know accidents and missiles happen and sometimes go astray. Let's just all hope that doesn't happen to AF1. Now circle around and let's all sing kumbaya.

Everyone caught on to the fact that he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth whilst playing footsie under the table with the Iranians. So, the 5x draft dodger wants to show off. Is he going to demonstrate how he manages to fall up the stairs or fall down just one step?

My only question is why. What exactly is the puppet in chief going to say and do that can't said and done in D.C.? Maybe Biteme wants to get lost on stage in a new location.

Just what the Israelis need while engaged in a war with terrorists - a bumbling, incompetent American President to look after.
And yes, #2. broadcasting his travel plans is stupid.

If Joe Biden had any decency or regret for all of the damage he's done to our country, he needs to offer himself in trade for the 199 innocent hostages.

Biden is not helping the Israelis by him showing up in Israel, the only reason that Biden would fly to Israel is that he and his crew sense some domestic political advantage by doing so. Chances are there will not by an Israeli ground attack in Gaza while Biden is traveling to Israel, while Biden is there, and until after Biden flies away. As Biden has said that a ground attack targeting Hamas in Gaza is a bad idea, it’s interesting that is also Iran’s position.

This creates a logistical and defense nightmare...for Israel.
When a US President arrives into any foreign airspace they have to turn off air defense system, lower all tubes/missiles/rockets/guns, even on US Bases all personnel are disarmed, ammunition collected. Is his flotilla of civilian planes going to be surrounded by jets from the carrier group?
what IF hamas or any other group fires rockets while his plane is in the air, or even in the area?
What if they have...or have delivered overnight...shoulder fired anti aircraft weapons, maybe some from Ukraine, Afghanistan..or even from OUR stockpiles/armories in Iraq? There are Palestinian supporters in ALL of those places, many with access to such depots. Let alone Iran, Syria, Libya, Sudan, Yemen weapon stores.
Half of me almost hopes they do...which a verrrrry sad thing. For this country. Never in my lifetime have I ever imagined it would actually better for the World, if someone killed OUR President.

This is not a good idea. Biden will say or do something (or both) that embarrasses America and Israel, exhibiting weakness when strength is paramount. God help us, I am afraid this is going to be a "rhymes with bit low."

Trade him for the hostages that Hamas is using to force Israel to attack Gaza.

Biden’s trip to Israel will delay the ground invasion. Biden will try to talk Netanyahu out of attacking Gaza and Biden will emerge as the great statesman. Also, the longer they delay the invasion, the calls for a cease fire will increase. Anger will be tempered. This is the bump the moron needs to boost his poll numbers. It’s about politics, not the people of Israel or Gaza.

the bidenistas will be sure to bring plenty of that special "juice" to make sure diapers:
1.) stays awake
2.) remembers what he's supposed to say instead of what he says
3.) remembers, and not have to be reminded, to change his diaper after every use

A. Hamas rockets attacks will stop Tuesday night in order to pretend that Israel is the aggressor.
B. To goad Israel into attacking Hamas during Joe’s 2 hour visit, Hamaa will have its terrorists move weapons, men and positions in order to make Israel attack the build up of forces. Iran has taught Hamas how to play the PR war.
C. While Biden will publicly state that Israel has a right of self defense, he will privately give Netanyahu the same recommendation he gave Obama on not launching an attack on Osama.
D. While trip will accomplish nothing, Biden will use it in attempt to keep money flowing from wealthy Jewish donors

Political photo op. Don't be surprised if Joe arrives wearing his sunglasses and bomber jacket.
That being said, he is perfectly safe. He is the best thing that has happened to Hamas, the Iranians, and the rest of our enemies. I agree with all the posters pointing out that Israel has enough to worry about without this fool showing up.

Israel would be crazy not to refuse to allow Biden to enter. This PR stunt would interfere with the conduct of the war. It would also show to Iran and Hamas a weakness of resolve.

Biden moveing troops and the 6th fleet closer to Israel now makes sense. Not to warn Iran, but to protect his sorry Kinzinger when he’s in the area,

One would suspect he is going their to celebrate Hamas's great victory. And one can imagine the CIA will be involved when the president's plane is shot down. Dems will fill the streets in the US like crazies Iranians during Ramadan in celebration. And Newsome will have his wish as the Dem nominee to run against Trump.

The Biden administration is desperate to make Joe somehow look effective and courageous when he has demonstrated so often that he is not. This is his big opportunity to claim hero status. It could also be the democrats' solution to conveniently remove him from the running in 2024 to make room for Gruesome or the Mooch.

Israel should tell the Resident to stay out of Israel. He's never been supportive of them before October 7. I'm sure Prime Minister Netanyahu won't give him any sensitive information, lest he blab it out as he did about SEAL Team 6 after the UBL elimination. They were shot down soon after. You know what's most retarded about Diaper Dimwit? He thinks he can attract Trump supporters on Truth Social. They'd rather throw the comprehensively venal Biden headfirst down a Port-o-Let than consider voting for him.
