I’m pretty sure a guy who enabled genocide said “I am officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel”.

No. No they aren’t. Not in any fucking world is Biden equally evil compared to Trump.

First, Netanyahu is the guy ordering the murdering of Palestinians. Not Biden. And the world isn’t Evil Black and Good White. There’s a reason Netanyahu is attacking Palestinians. It has everything to do with Hamas attacking, killing, and kidnapping Israelis. There are no good guys or bad guys in this war. Just a bunch of pretentious pricks using the other side’s bad behaviour as cover for their own, and innocents who can’t get out of the way quick enough. Netanyahu has a Casus Belli in this war, even, so don’t pretend like this is unprovoked.

Second, Trump has made it clear that among a whole bunch of other really bad shit, he’s going to give Netanyahu carte blanche to go run roughshod over ALL of Palestine with no conditions or strings. Biden has made it clear that we aren’t cool with Israel bombing Palestine back to the stone-ages, but we’re sure not going to stop supplying Israel with arms and money because we know that the instant we do that, all the Middle Eastern countries who have constantly and consistently said over the past half century that their sole goal is to erase Israel from the map will come running in to finish the job.

Third, even if we DID say that cutting off the flow of guns and bombs to Israel was on the table, they’d immediately turn to their good friend and fellow autocrat Russia and start buying up guns and bombs from them. And Israel has American F-35s. I can imagine the deal now. “Ship us one of those F-35s so we can tear them down and figure out how to detect them and counter them and duplicate them, and we’ll send you a constant supply of bombs and missiles at a discount, while propping up our handpicked dictator-candidate with accusations that the Dems are anti-Semitic and hostile to Israel.”

Fuck off with your both-sides bullshit.

When Israel ramped up the genocide to the next tier, Biden responded by sending them more weapons to kill Palestinians.

Joe Biden is a genocide enabler. Anything else is better.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
