Arab Americans and Muslims have been largely loyal to President Biden at the voting booth.

      Maybe someday we could get a public apology instead of a private one.

      There’s a difference between saying it to the nation from a podium and behind closed doors to a couple politicians whose support you desperately need…

        Exactly.

        This is a clear attempt by the Democrats to win back the Muslim and Arab vote.

    It’s so odd to have a president who is secure enough and has the humility to admit fault.

    Even today, Trump is claiming he intentionally mixes up Obama and Biden in speeches.

      Admit fault … in a private meating with the parties offended by the faulty statement. Will he give a national speach walking back the statement he made in a national speach?

      This was not a mis speak. This was not a mistake. Biden made a political calculation for how to talk about the conflict. He is trying to appease both sides of the issue by changing his position depending on who he is talking to.

          I can’t. Happy?

          Biden is less terrible than Trump, yes. In the general election, he still has my vote. Do we need to carefully declaim this every single time we criticize him?

          He’s also holding onto power when he shouldn’t, and likely to hand the Whitehouse back to Trump as a result, just like Clinton handed it over last time. Democrats should be demanding he step down, en masse, and let somebody with more integrity run, before it’s too late. He is not helping.

    Honestly, seeing/hearing the words “I will do better” from a President is what real leadership actually looks like. It’s sad that it’s borderline inspiring, but in this climate, it’s at least an attempt at statesmanship.

      So what? His admin has helped facilitate at least a temporary ceasefire to get humanitarian aid in, allow civilians to escape, and to address hostage release since then. Sounds like he’s “doing better.”

        The article in the Washington post that it pulls all its information from is (Oct 25). So why dredge it back up?

          That’s a question for Jackson Walker who wrote the article. My guess, to repair his poll numbers.

    Not worth the photons to display it. This is just the Sinclair Propaganda Group’s spin on the Washington Post’s reporting. Read that instead.

      Using reader mode on iOS just gives an eBay page with some odd file. It’s junk website site even if you subscribe to their spin.

    They hand picked 5 people to attend a discussion about Palestinians and only one of them was actually Palestinian.

      Why would they send more, and why do you think those four people representing a different nation, as members of that nation, didn’t need to hear the discussion?

        I’m confused.

        Is your argument that Palestinian rights are a Muslim rights issue?

          My argument is that it’s pretty common to send organizational members to discussions, conventions, and meetings to learn things.

            This was a meeting with Joe Biden. I would argue he’d have a few things to learn on this matter.

            My argument about not including Palestinian voices is that you’re ignoring the people most impacted there.

    He’s trying to do damage control, too late for that. He’s allowed it to go on way too long.

    Paid Zionists are gonna do Zionists things though
