    Right!

    Here’s what he could do, though:

    • Stop funding israel and pumping billions into its economy every year;
    • Stop selling arms to israel
    • Don’t threaten to invade or sanction the ICC prosecutors;
    • Don’t say “if israel didn’t exist, the United States would have to create one”;

    And much, much more…

    So Bibi is intentionally trying to hurt Biden and get Trump elected so Biden’s plan is to… Support them 110%, corroborate their lies at every turn, run cover for them at every opportunity, and give them a blank check? So either he’s Genocide Joe or he is single-handedly the most incompetent politician to ever exist and actively trying to lose the election. These people are fucking morons

      Listen, Biden can’t control the billions of dollars of weapons he literally bypasses congress to give to Israel while they are openly carrying out genocide

      Liberals really think we give a fuck about minute semantical differences like ‘he isn’t explicitly doing it by himself, he’s only giving them the money and guns while saying they’re not engaging in genocide’, while also believing that anyone who despises Biden for that is actually a Russian troll

      That’s been the complaint from day one. Actively stopping Netanyahu is probably a bridge too far for our AIPAC-addled political class. But maybe not helping him could be possible? Pretty please with sugar on top?

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he propagated Israeli lies in the aftermath of the Oct. 7th attack and in the aftermath of every publicized Israeli warcrime.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he has continually stated that Israel has a “right to defend itself” as a justification for said genocide.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he sent two carrier groups to the Mediterranean as a show of force in support of Israel in the region.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he continues to send weapons to Israel.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he initiated Operation Prosperity Guardian and bombed Yemen, one of the few regional actors actively attempting to stop the genocide.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he recently pushed Congress to fund Israel as a part of aid package to continue or provoke more wars around the world.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he ardently opposed every ceasefire proposal brought to the UNSC.

    Biden isn’t the one committing genocide, which is why he defended Netanyahu after the ICC put out an arrest warrant against him for committing war crimes.

    God it’s always so fucking infantalizing.

    We know isreal doesn’t give a shit what he thinks, hates him and makes decisions in spitenof him if anything.

    Which is why it’s even easier he’s committing public career suicide by quadrupling down on all their talking poi t while sending them the bombs they use to do the genocide.

    We understand he isn’t writing isreali foreign policy, will libs admit to the equally incredibly obvious conceit that by giving isreal free bo.bs and bombers we are facilitating their bombings?

    Or is this another one of those situations where we’re the only ones constrained by a materialistic analysis of reality.

    Then I guess it doesn’t matter if Biden gets re-elected because the president is actually powerless, a mere observer of world events, like the rest of us.

    Biden could cut ALL military aid to Israel, including defensive aid for things like the Iron Dome AMS that clears the sky of Hamas and Hezbollah rockets aimed at Israeli civilians and Bib would still have all the resources he needs to do whatever he wants in Gaza.

    big-honk Then why are we sending the goddamn aid. Either they need it and that’s leverage that someone with a single principled bone in their body can withdraw, or they don’t need it in which case Biden is just doing it as a hobby he picked because the crochet class was full? Why do these arguments work on people?

    Anyone who calls this a war is a poor excuse for a human being and is that exact species of person that allowed the Holocaust/ Armenian/ Congo/ Sudan/ Bosnian genocides to occur with no pushback.

    Edit: These same people also do the same when trans people say they’re being targeted and are being marked for a future genocide.

    I hate when libs try to pretend like Isreal is not just an extention of the US. Their view of geopolitics is the same as view of society. Its all just individual frictionless orbs floating in space
