The speech will be remembered for two things. What he did not say about Gaza and the fact he fired up his already supporters by not appearing infirm. Those praying that he does not make a big gaff. I suspect he did not win over the millions of Americans-Democrats and independents- disgusted by his handling of the genocidal situation in Gaza and the horrors of what's happening on the West bank. We Democrats are gloating here because Biden did not appear infirm this time. Pride comes before the fall.
There is truth to what you say except for the first sentence that it will be remembered for those things. Put your hand in a pail of water and pull it out. The speech will be remembered for as long as it takes the water to become still again.
So true...Yet it will be remembered by historians as a missed opportunity and the very few that take their eyes off of social media to read history...as a missed opportunity.
I don’t know what you think would have been the right thing to say about Gaza. Right now Hamas is saying they won’t release the hostages. They do nothing to reduce the harm to civilians. Iran is our enemy and is pulling the strings to make this a bigger conflict.
There are internal politics in Israel and here that make this a very difficult problem.
Do you suggest we give in to Hamas or do you suggest we go after them so Israel doesn’t? I think it is easy to say things are going very badly,but what will solve the problem and how will a speech make it happen? My sense is that when you push too hard publicly you are likely to stiffen people’s position.
Perhaps you should drink it too. Our glass is half full. Biden is a shrewd negotiator. This problem has been around since the inception of Israel. The solution takes time. Biden knows that but he has proved himself to be tenacious and wise.
The change in press coverage from negative to positive is important. I would have liked him to cut all aid to Israel until they stop the bombing of Gaza permanently, but I know, and I believe most people realize that Biden is far and away the better choice for Gaza and to work toward peace in the Middle East.
I heard a great deal about Gaza. His solution of building the port is brilliant. There are many moving parts in this problem. People keep saying to stop supporting Israel with funds, but that gives power to those who would destroy Israel. The immediate solution of the port is the perfect workaround while Biden addresses the more permanent solutions. It sends a message to Israel without making them vulnerable. "We can support Gaza if you won't." Beware we can do even more to solve this problem, so come to the table. Be patient America. This is an age-old problem. Biden has approached it with wisdom and tenacity. I feel that if anything can be done, Biden is our man to do it.

Did I miss something ?
Biden talked a lot about Gaza, Palestine and emphasized the need for a two state solution.

You have drunk Biden's cool-aide on this topic.

You demonstrate a complete ignorance of American complicity in the genocide happening in Gaza.

Yes there is no doubt about the fact Biden is a far better choice than fascist Trump
