No I don't think that's true. I dislike the whole "Palestine is a complex topic" when arguing about helping Palestinians.

But saying they're exactly the same is not true. The President doesn't run the show despite how it is pitched. They don't control the economy and don't control foreign powers. Kamala and Trump will absolutely handle this bullshit differently, will either one do what will make me happy? No. But saying they'll do the same is so not true.

How biden bypassed the congress to approve an emergency aid for israel then?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Because it is all a show.

If Congress wanted to stop sales they would. Selling weapons makes us money, we never not want to sell weapons.

The government as a whole wants to sell weapons the players and politicians will posture to look this way or that but they want to sell weapons.

Since you said that it's a show and it's the congress and not the president who can control foreign country doesn't that mean both trump and kamala are the same as they can't control israel?

Like I said to the other guy, if Republicans didn't support Israel wouldn't they be hammering Biden for this? They're not. Because both parties want to sell weapons.

If you really need an explanation on Kamala vs Trump in this area then I cannot help you. Trump literally will not look for peace at all, he's even already fucked his relationship with the Iranian government who is heavily in support of Palestine.

They do control foreign powers. We used to condemn Trump for doing dirty backroom arms sales to Saudi. Biden is now doing the same for israel.

No he isn't lol

Congress is who you should be upset with bud

[–] Linkerbaan -3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

He literally is. Biden is the one bypassing congress and violating Leahy law for israel.

I understand that but if Congress really wanted to they have solutions to that.

They don't

You don't think Republicans would love to hammer on Biden for anything? Why not this?

[–] Linkerbaan -4 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Because the majority of AIPAC funding is from Republicans. And Biden works for them.

Joe Biden is a Republican Zionist agent. That's not some crazy conspiracy it's literally a straight line from Bidens campaign donations to wealthy Republicans.

Wow you managed to view it entirely backwards.

People donate to both parties. A party isn't donating to another party dingbat lmfao

Brain rot is real holy shit.

Republicans are not giving money to Democrats. The same donor is giving money to both, the article literally says that the title is entirely misleading.

What it should say is something about religious right or conservative donors are attempting to get conservative Democrats on tickets instead of more liberal/left ones.

None of this is new to us. The oil industry has been doing this for years bud.

The donors are Republicans this is a Politico article. Take it up with them.

None of this is new to us. The oil industry has been doing this for years bud.

The oil industry isn't trying to lobby to get Armageddon to take place.

DONORS CONTRIBUTE TO A PARTY.
