    Recognizing Jerusalem didn’t kill 25,000 Palestinians

    Didn’t it? It seems very plausible that Israel’s most powerful ally taking this huge step that no previous president was willing to take could have easily galvanized Hamas’s resolve and fanned the flames leading up to the recent attacks and resulting Israeli siege.

    This shit has been going on for decades. It’s foolish to treat the recent events as an isolated incident, or to compartmentalize the repercussions of US foreign policy to individual presidential administrations.

      No, people firing rockets and bullets killed 25,000 people. This is the real world where real things impact real lives, and Biden shipping billions of dollars worth of weapons enables them to continue killing, not names or lines on a map.

      Definitely agree with you there, I think it’s important for all of us to be educated about the history of American support for this cycle of abuse. I don’t plan to vote for any person who continues to support the killing of innocent people suffering under an apartheid regime.
