After next week we're going to see what support of a genocide really looks like.
Israeli givernment just ratified the ceasefire.
Israeli's announced the deal on wednesday and then:
Also, there are still ongoing hostilities with Lebanon.
But hey, since the Ceasefire happened before Trump took office, does that mean we're going to give credit to Biden for ending the war in Gaza? Are you going to thank him?
I support charging and penalizing Biden in the severest extent possible for genocide. Where you spend post after post kissing his rear. I often wonder if you're being paid.
In the end I guess we'll both just have to be content with Biden going down as an epic failure and complete idiot who got away with a genocide, betrayed his party, and threw his country to the fascists.
People like you are the reason the USA got to this point in the first place.
yes clearly it wasnt the candidates or the fact that they chose the directions of their campaigns, funded far rightwing war crimes, ignored the lower and middle classes, and tried to steer hard right so they could take bribes and appeal to right wingers, or that the trump prosecution got slow walked. it was 'people like me'.
Inciteful contribution to making the US a better place. Good job infinitebanjo, as usual. If only everyone had gone along with whatever the eff Biden/Harris wanted, things would clearly be so much better! They were giving us all what we wanted, clearly. Best dems ever. Harris was a breath away from handing out glocks for everyone Oprah-style. You get a glock! you get a glock!
It does beg the question, would the Israeli warcrimes be continuing unabated if Harris/Biden/aipac side had won? What do you think, banjo?
Every time we have to pick between bad and worse for 30 years we've picked fucking worse, so yes its your goddamn fault.
Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different outcome each time is the definition of insanity. But you centrists keep trying to win this way.
The dems lost support across basically every demographic and minority group, and youve allienated a lot of the youth maybe for good. True? Maybe time to stop doing that then?
Dude. The genocide has been ongoing during Biden administration, stop finding excuses, and "orange man worse", we know that Trump sucks, that's not a defense of a genocide supporter
Joe Biden doesn't control israel.
Joe Biden didn't have to sell weapons to your single favorite person for your single favorite activity.
Again, I dont think he did perfectly, I have in the past even said the USA should intervene in Israeli politics and depose Netanyahu, but I also realise the strategic value of Israel, what is at stake in the middle east, and that Israel could disappear almost over night if they showed any weakness to their neighbors.
Cutting off all support simply wouldn't happen.
Excuses.
The genocide couldn't happen without the military, diplomatic and economic support of the USA (and its vassal European states) to Israel.
Vassal States lmao
For fuck's sake, the US threatened military invasion of Greenland and best EU ca do is say "oh, trump, stop it uwu".
