    Biden did NOT approve weapons for use in the genocide.

    This is just a denial of reality. Israel used Biden’s bombs to bomb Palestinians. That is a fact.

    At no point did any US agency approve, authorize, or coordinate the genocide.

    The USA and Israel intelligence apparatus is linked at the hip. We share raw-intelligence data with them without vetting it first. Did you know that the USA had troops in Israel to operate the THAAD missile defense system? Did you know that Biden’s so called “Humanitarian Aid Pier” was actually a staging ground for use in the Nuseirat Hostage Raid?

    I think the link between the USA and Israeli intelligence community is kind of the nail in the coffin for any denial of coordination.

    AT BEST the USA has direct knowledge that Israel is performing a genocide in Gaza, and the response is… send them more weapons? If there is NO coordination (which I find impossible to believe), then essentially, the USA has (and had) full knowledge a genocide is taking place, while funding and arming it. I don’t see how that is any better than coordinating directly.

      Biden did not once, ever, tell Israel “Why, yes, please, use these weapons to kill as many Palestinians as you want.”

      The stated purpose for the weapons was the legitimate defense of Israel from hostile forces such as Iran.

      Israel then illegitimately used the weapons in Gaza, but that is not the reason they were provided.

      There is one country to blame for the genocide and that is Israel.
