    Biden tells Netanyahu it’s time to end Gaza war

    This one is kinda funny to me because people interpret trump saying nearly the same words is evidence of his genocidal intent.

    But none of those ‘statements of disapproval’ conveys the severity of their literal fucking war crimes and genocide, which would be a minimum (I would think) to convince a skeptical zionist voter that maybe some intervention is justified. Not to mention that Harris repeatedly refused to commit to withholding lethal aid every time she was asked during her candidacy.

      There’s no reality in which the U.S. was going to seriously jeopardize its relationship with our closest ally in the middle east.

      Americans had two options:

      A side that expressed disapproval of Israel’s actions and floated stopping arms shipments, which Biden floated.

      Or

      A side with a guy who literally said Israel should finish the job and is now saying he wants to turn Gaza into a vacation destination.

      I’ll let you do the math.

        Maybe you just suffer from a lack of imagination - and anyway what good is having allies if they’re on the genocidal side of things? Seems like maybe we’re the baddies.
