    Republicans and Democrats both shovelled weapons to Israel. They are thus, as a whole, identical. Indistinguishable.

    This is disputable. They have had very different approaches. I’m convinced this talking point is conjured up by Russia to sow dissent.

      … Did they both involve sending weapons to Israel?

      This is exactly my point. You’ve made it better than I ever could have.

      The minute you buy into identity politics, you’ll reject what is front of your own eyes because you fail to seperate an issue from the whole. If “they” are wrong on the “issue”, then you’ll diminish the “issue” to protect the whole, thus protecting your identity.

      Biden and the world and the current Democrats are absolutely fucked the dog on Israel. That doesn’t mean the Democrat turd sandwich isn’t still better than the giant douche, but there is no godly reason that one can’t evaluate issues honestly.

        US foreign policy involves US companies sending weapons to Isreal and the US gov providing aid. Its been that way for over 50 years. Once the war broke out for the first 6 months there was no reason that should change, the democrat policy during this time was to use the aid as leverage to constain isreal and they did. The republican policy as been to use the US’s position on the world stage to empower isreal. These are two completely different approaches.

        The dems got multiple ceasefires and pushed for a reasonable end to the conflict while republicans broke ceasefires and changed the deal to be so one sided there is near 0 chance gaza accepts.
