Recent polls show former President Trump leading President Biden in key swing states that will likely decide the 2024 election, indicating Trump is not just the overwhelming favorite to secure the …
Hamas bad, Netanyahu bad. Hamas did October 7, Netanyahu is currently committing a genocide, racking up about 18.7k kills so far. Biden supports Netanyahu. The wrong thing to do is support a guy trying to eradicate a group of people simply for existing near them. Everyone who thinks Biden is being politically smart about this genocide is delusional.
What’re the odds that the IDF is using the ol’ “Any military-age male near a terrorist is a terrorist” accounting trick the US uses (used? I think we still use it) to drop our collateral damage rate from drone strikes from the 15% it actually is, to an incredibly improbable claimed 0.2%?
Point is even the most biased source in their favor still says majority of who israel is killing are civilians. That ratio only goes up from there with other sources.
Subsidizing their genocide, for one. But that, unfortunately, is a widely popular position both amongst US politicians and the general population, and is unlikely to change in the near-future regardless of who is in office.
First, when we speak of genocide, generally it is with reference to the victim of the genocide. Using the Holocaust as an example, do you refer to this as the Nazi genocide or the Jewish genocide?
Second, we are not funding a genocide against the Palestinians. Israel is fighting Hamas, not the Palestinians. The Palestinians are unfortunate pawns being used by Hamas to shield themselves from Israel. This is an over simplification of the situation, but I don’t think it is fair to say we are funding a genocide against the Palestinians via the Israelis.
The thing is, Israel didn’t appear to be trying at all to spare civilians. Maybe there is lip service offered but nothing else. IDF is killing any motherfuckers they feel like and horrific acts are being perpetuated without any repercussions - allegedly murdering every woman and child they could in a school. Murdering their own people. Maybe out of indifference or maybe out of hate, it makes no difference to the dead.
Hamas started this latest round but Israel has been treating Palestinians like garbage for decades. It was inevitable they would act. I don’t see Hamas as appreciably worse than the Israeli government. I have empathy for both Jews and Palestinians. The governments aren’t the same as the people, and the governments are both evil.
The difference is Israel is the group with all the power and military might, so they have the obligation to use that power responsibly. They aren’t. They are guaranteeing hatred persists for another couple of generations.
I’m sure Biden is working behind the scenes, but the public face he presents isn’t how I want my country to be seen. I’m voting for him because Trump is worse yet, but Biden has been disappointing on this crisis.
Did you think Democrats would support the terrorists? Strange take.

All those terrorist babies and terrorist hospital patients and terrorist foreign journalists
Why are you calling Palestinians terrorists? Hamas are the terrorists.
You seem to have missed their sarcasm.
The idea of ANY baby being a terrorist, for one thing.
Palestinians are who Israel is killing. https://www.timesofisrael.com/idf-officials-2-civilian-deaths-for-every-1-hamas-fighter-killed-in-gaza/

Both sides have been killing. Both sides wanted war.
I agree. What exactly is Biden doing wrong with Israel?
Subsidizing their genocide, for one. But that, unfortunately, is a widely popular position both amongst US politicians and the general population, and is unlikely to change in the near-future regardless of who is in office.
Can you explain how he is subsidizing the Israeli’s genocide? I don’t quite understand.
Do you…really not know about the billions we’ve been giving to Israel for decades?
Yes I’m well aware of that. I’m asking whose genocide we are subsidizing. It’s clearly not the Israeli’s since we are giving money to them.
We’re giving Israel the money and weapons to perpetrate a genocide on Palestinians.
Ok so a couple of things.

Hamas attacked Israel, murdered thousands of innocent people, they raped grandmother’s and children. That is what your supporting. That’s fucked up.
These bullshit “If you’re not for Israel, you have to be for Hamas” takes really have to stop
Where the fuck did I say I supported Hamas?
Nearly 1% of the population of Gaza is fucking dead, man. In the course of under three months.
