    Inside the US you can be beaten and robbed by the police for walking the street and doing nothing wrong, but in Israel if you murder a bunch of people for no reason, you get asked nicely to please consider stopping it, and let me show you how to load this cool new weapon I’m gifting you.

    Thanks Joe Biden.

      Not American, so I don’t have any skin in the right v. left fuckfest y’all got going on there, but this isn’t Joe’s or even any single party’s fault.

      Years of systemic problems put in the position where culturally everything is in the gutter. Fix social problems and a lot of the other ones (like police brutality) will improve massively.

      Regardless, fuck this appeasement of Israel. The US should be ashamed of how they’re allowing this to happen.

          Problem is that without political consequences, the politicians have no interest in addressing the problems.

          They fear losing AIPAC money. They dont fear people who say that they will vote them no matter what, because they think they are the lesser of the two evils or something like that.

          They dont care who you are or what you want. They dont care if you are doing well or getting fucked royally by their policies. They only care if you vote for them or not.

            They would care if a large enough group stopped paying taxes. But good luck getting +10 million Americans to actually take a stand for what they believe in.
