You Americans get mad obama stayed in the war didn't say anything about trump staying in it too, then get mad when biden pulls out of it. Funny country you are.

America is big. It's easy to make generalizations that don't apply.

A lot of us wear clothes that don't fit though. That one's true.

How is Biden pulling out when he just announced a new 8B dollar military package to Israel to continue murdering the Palestinian people?

Why did Biden say: "If Israel didn't exist, it would be necessary to create one to protect our interests in the Middle East."

They have not actually. There is no official release and many news articles are stating it to be false.

No, the press release announcing this action is a doctored version of an old release.

That's a proposed package, not yet in effect. Regardless, Israel is the US's biggest receiver of military aid. Do you dispute this?

[–] Dippy 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Please send links on proposed 8B package?

That’s not what I’m disputing, because it doesn’t matter. I’m disputing your claim that Biden just announced an 8 billion dollar aid package which has shown to be false.

There could be one in the works, but what you are referencing was a photoshopped version of an old aid package.

because it doesn’t matter.

The US funding genocide of Palestinians doesn't matter to you. Why would it?

[–] Dippy 0 points 1 year ago

It does not matter to your false statement of an 8B$ aid package. Reading comprehension is a good skill to have.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

"If Israel didn't exist, it would be necessary to create one to protect our interests in the Middle East."

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

Why won't lemmy show all comments it says there are? I can see only 1 comment instead of 12 😭

[–] Uncle_Iroh 1 points 1 year ago

Because this entire federation stuff is kinda shit, which is fine because it's done by a bunch of volunteers, and that brings all the upsides that every terminally Lemmy user breathes to tell you about, but it also makes it so there's always shit not working.
