Oh boy.

If you thought President Biden was a kind and elderly president who occasionally nods off, think again.

It seems like all those Dark Brandon memes were onto something.

🤬 Biden Blasts Bibi

President Joe Biden is reportedly fed up with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as the Gaza war drags on and hurts his popularity among young voters.

• Curse: Sources say Biden privately called Netanyahu a “bad f–king guy” and accused him of trying to drag the US into a war with Iran-backed militants.

• Tension: Biden and Netanyahu have clashed over the need to limit civilian casualties and the future of the Palestinian territory. Biden has urged Israel to accept a ceasefire deal, but Netanyahu is resisting.

• Politics: The war in Gaza has eroded Biden’s support among young and progressive voters, who are critical of his unwavering backing of Israel.

IDF Admits to Fatal Mistake

🇮🇱 IDF Admits. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has publicly acknowledged that a Telegram channel named 72 Virgins - Uncensored (@betulot72) was indeed managed by personnel from a department within its Operations Directorate, although it was unauthorized. The department in question is in charge of psychological warfare.

❓ Is That Bad? According to an investigation by Haaretz published on Dec. 2023:

• The channel was created on October 9 - two days after Hamas invaded Israel.

• The channel often shares videos and images that depict the killing of Hamas terrorists, along with images of dead bodies accompanied by derogatory captions.

• It was unauthorized.

• Its primary target audience was Israelis.

Here’s an example of such a caption:

🙅‍♂️ Initial Denial. At first, the IDF refuted any association, but following an internal probe, they have now admitted involvement. The commander of the implicated unit is expected to be dismissed, though the commander’s identity remains undisclosed.
