“That son of a removed, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

    The bloodthirsty supporter of genocide was secretly upset that it wasn’t bring carried out strategically enough. Then he sent billions of dollars in money, arms, logistics support, and surveillance.

      Alternatively, Biden genuinely believed what he was saying/being told until the facts flew in the face of that assessment, and is too politically hog-tied to back out of existing deals. This could still be a turning point, and while that’s little comfort to the dead, it may yet save those who might become so otherwise.

        is too politically hog-tied to back out of existing deals.

        He is ignoring US laws about supplying arms to countries plausibly accused of genocide. He’s suppressing career bureaucats’ assessments of israeli conduct. He’s the one doing the hogtying

        This could still be a turning point,

        It wasn’t. The quote is from back in May, when Biden lied about having a red line about Raffa

        lmao the guy that has been a rabid zionist his entire career? The guy that helped manufacture consent for the War on Iraq, bringing in bullshitters to give testimony in the Senate? The guy that brought on and oversees people like Blinken and Miller?

        Buddy there are no deals he just supports this genocide to the hilt. Stop making excuses for genociders. Start fighting them.

        Re: “turning point”, Biden is senile and Dems are already doing Weekend and Bernie’s with the white house, including trotting Kamala all around whereas before she was doing typical background VP things. The Kamals that has been lockstep with this genocidal administration, whose DNC was nakedly Zionist, whose own VP just embraced Zionist Lebensraum.

        If you want to see something different you must see these people and systems for what they are and become their true opponent.

    I do not believe for a moment that Biden is anything except 100% supportive of both Netanyahu and Israel.

    Tired empty words from a frail old man who came from a time long long ago.
