How dumb can you be? You think the right gives a FUCK about consistency? It makes Joe look bad that’s all they need.
Furthermore, Biden has been instrumental in cease fires and the like but what is he supposed to do when Hamas continues to break agreements? Yes giving Israel arms without conditions is fucked up but Biden has been very vocal about what the IDF is doing is unacceptable and pleads for them to hold back and avoid the same mistakes we made post 9/11.
It’s an extremely complex political issue, you dress it up like Biden is waving a goddamn Bibi flag and cheering him on.
By painting such a complicated issue black and white you do yourself and your perspective a disservice. You have good points but you just shit on them because of how reductive you choose to be.
Anyone calling this situation a genocide is ignorant.
West Bank is arguably a slow moving Genocide. Gaza was left alone for the most part until militants / terrorists attacked from Gaza.
This here is just your standard military operation. Yeah, it’s bloody and deadly. That’s not what a genocide is. Even a massive bombing campaign (ex: Tokyo firebombs or Hiroshima) are not genocides.
A genocide is an attack on the people in an attempt to make a culture extinct. Trail of Tears, Holocaust, etc. Etc. Are genocides. Intent matters, meaning matters.
Ie: Death to Israel is a literal genocidal chant. No one is calling for death to Palestine. This entire situation is so backwards is laughable.
Then why is Israel saying they intend to keep Gaza?
What else do you call cutting off people’s power, food, and water?
What else do you call telling people that an area is a safe zone and then bombing it anyway?
What do you call mass indiscriminate bombings?
But don’t worry, they will slow walk it enough that people like you can deny it until they are already gone and then people like you will tell us “Well, that’s all in the past, we should just forgive them now and move on.”
Israel controls food, water and electricity because Gaza is so poor they don’t have their own food, water or electricity. When a poor pseudo-State attacks literally the country providing them food / water and electricity, we call that ‘Gaza/Hamas being a dumbass’. Israel is under no circumstance should be forced into giving aid to the people who declared war upon them.
Maybe next time, before killing thousands of Israel’s, the leaders of Gaza can try I dunno, establishing a food/fuel/electricity deal with Egypt first?
Oh that’s right, Hamas doesn’t give a shit about the people so they’re actually stealing the food and fuel for themselves. Last time Israel was building pipes for water for Gaza, Hamas literally dug up the pipes and turned them into rockets. Israel literally cannot give these people any aid as long as Hamas is in power, because all aid becomes perverted into weapons by Hamas. So what the fuck is Israel supposed to do about that?
Mass indiscriminate bombings is mass indiscriminate bombings. Ya know, like Tokyo Firebombs or what we did in Vietnam. There’s nothing genocidal about that, it’s ‘just’ war.
Israel has genocidal tendencies in the West Bank so yes, we need to keep our eyes out. But what you see here isn’t genocide. It’s just war, the war that Hamas wanted and still wants to happen.
Genocide is when you try to kill off a culture or entire group of people. All these bombs won’t do that actually. Tokyo recovered for example and I promise you far more people and civilians died in the Tokyo Firebombing campaign.
Is Israel brutal? Yes. But this isn’t new news at all. But calling this a genocide is just counterproductive and only demonstrates your sides ignorance to world matters.
You can hide behind whatever words you want to try to make you feel better.
I may not be able to stop it, but to my dying day I will do my best to make sure never to support israel .
I will encourage everyone I know to do the same.
I will make sure that future generations see that israel is no longer deserving of our help, only our disdain for their killing of innocents.
For their mockery of innocent children dying in pain, pouring out water just to taunt people who are without, and calling them animals, and if the “nation” of israel falls, well I guess I’ll have a coke.
Because they don’t actually know what Genocide is, and they’re really bad at alliteration / word games.
In any case, it’s not Democrats who do this, but far left Gen Z tiktokers who are seemingly too young to understand foreign policy.
We support Israel because they are an ally on the world stage, and are one of Israel’s few allies. It is a bad idea to throw away our friendship to Israel especially after they were attacked.
But this friendship has costs. Israel always was rather militant. So if they get attacked, they disproportionally attack back. Furthermore, Hamas wants this to happen (Hamas still rejects ceasefires, calls to return hostages, and are raiding the aid packages to Palestinian civilians).
Not even to the technologically superior one who has given us a lot of military support and is key to our foreign policy goals in the Middle East?
Let’s say we abandon Israel. Who the fuck do we ally with in the Middle East? The anti-women Saudis who literally created the Wahhabi Islam that empowered Bin Laden? Iraq or Afghanistan? Iran hates us too.
Our alliance with Israel is out of larger scale necessity and long term friendship. For all of the faults of them (and yes, this war in Gaza is exceptionally brutal, though not genocidal), Israel has military power, military intelligence, and technology that we are borrowing.
Intel / Mobileye / etc.etc. are from Israel. Some of the most important technologies of our society are from Israel.
When both suck, but one is a good friend and has tech that we want, being friends with the powerful and technologically advanced is just a winning strategy.
One of those two parties has the power to end this conflict over night, and yet for decades they’ve done nothing but create more illegal settlements, and murder more Palestinian civilians.

Indeed. Egypt has proposed a peace plan and… Oh right. Hamas rejected it. Okay, well, if Hamas can’t even accept a peace plan crafted by a majority-Muslim country like Egypt what the hell do you expect Israel to do?
Now how about this, you start talking about which countries should try to step in and negotiate the peace deal between Hamas and Israel, and how this peace can actually be crafted. We just tried the Egyptian approach (with help from Qatar) and that’s floundering.
Or was there something in the Egyptian / Qatar peace plan that looked unfair for the Palestinians to you?
He’s not, and it’s not going to stick no matter how hard you try.
I know it’s a tall order for conservatives, but you guys really gotta start getting more creative with the names. Putting an adjective in front of a person’s first name is like bottom tier effort.
What do you expect him to do? Biden has already called for Netanyahu to resign. Do you want him to send the U.S. military in to fight the Israeli military in defense of people that want the United States to burn?
We don’t just sell weapons on the fly, there are specific agreements and contracts. It’s not just a simple “no more” situation.
The bottom line is Israel is a key part of the US defense machine, integration like that makes it extremely non-trivial to adjust in a reactionary manner.
But go off, tell us how easy the solution truly is
I get what you’re saying but Biden sure as hell isn’t saving Palestine anytime soon. He’s a self-proclaimed Zionist.
There’s a reason he’s called genocide Joe.
Is it because the rightwing machine has decided that’s the name they’re going with because their dumbfuck base loves alliteration?
No, it’s because he’s currently funding and supporting genocide. Also why would the right wing even support Palestine?

No it’s because of his support of genocide.
Hell I had never even heard of it when I started using it
Why would the Democrats themselves label him genocide Joe?
Because we are sick of him aiding the commission of genocide?

Conquest is not genocide. Conquest is conquest.

Welcome to the Middle East. This shit sucks.
When your friends are killing babies, maybe it’s time to quit being friends with them?
Radical idea, I know.
What do you call it when there are nine people are in table and a Nazi sit down and no one reacts?
10 Nazi’s
Never forget was supposed to mean stopping what happens not taking notes for your game plan.
Hamas is killing babies.
Israel is killing babies.
Now what?
Don’t provide weapons to either of them?
Not even to the technologically superior one who has given us a lot of military support and is key to our foreign policy goals in the Middle East?

The US should stop providing the US with military weapons based on their history of use in the middle east as well.
Do you hear yourself right now?
Let’s just let them play Wyatt Earp’s, wild revenge ride, because they have stuff we want.
We treat them both the same?
But seriously, let’s just treat them both the same. Let’s let Israel’s ass cash. The checks its mouth is writing.
I bet we can change their name to Hummingbird real quick
