    Yeah, I don’t understand hating Biden for something that Netanyahu is doing. And there’s only so much Biden could do other than try to play peacekeeper, which he’s been doing. Pretty much any other actions require congressional support. Biden isn’t a king, he can’t unilaterally declare that we’re ending all support for Israel.
    And yet an insane number of people act like he’s over there killing Palestinians with his bare hands.

      I know this sounds crazy, but he could not sell them weapons. He is directly supporting what is happening there by doing so.

      Call back carrier groups, stop selling weapons, and let them deal with their own fucking problems that they caused

          I mean how many genocides did he do?

          Fuck that stupid blowhard, but at least his genocides are only potential futures, Biden is locked in already at 1

            What a simply mornonic take. Trump literally tried to pull out of NATO, and he would kill support for Ukraine. There’s your genocide. Oh, and he wouldn’t handle the Palestine situation any differently, so make that 2.

      Not to mention Israel is absolutely the most important ally we have in the middle east. As lovely as it would be to openly shit on them and Saudi Arabia for being inhumane jerks, we just don’t have that option. The second we alienate Israel is the second WWIII becomes virtually inevitable. Biden’s choosing between shitty options and shittier options, and like it or not, we need foreign allies in strategic locations, especially since Pax Americana is rapidly collapsing.
