I think that drawing back support for Israel is far more complicated than you folks realize.
But maybe you all have political science degrees and just don’t feel like explaining your reasoning? I just know enough to know that is a sticky situation and isn’t just as easy as canceling a Netflix subscription or something like many seem to think it is
If Ronald fucking Reagan was able to figure out how to withhold aid to Israel to get them to withdraw from Beirut and Lebanon, I’m sure Biden can. Reagan also allowed 21 UN resolutions against Israel. How utterly embarrassing it must be to be worse than Reagan on anything. I guess all they have to do is say “it’s a complicated issue” ad nauseam until you actually believe nothing can be done about actively arming a genocide.
There’s a difference in saying “it probably is more complicated than you realize” and “just shut up and accept genocide” but thanks for turning the conversation into this
Sorry I’m not going to “but he’s just a widdle guy and it’s complicated” when Biden sent over another $1 Billion in arms to Israel today. If trump was funding this genocide right now, you’d be acting differently.
Probably because trump would be wholeheartedly fueling the fucking fire. You know, like what’s going to end up happening if people fuck around leading up to this November
So brave, unlike the rest of us. Because yes my point was I’d love to choose genocide. Not that they both are horrific violations of human rights or anything like that.
It says a lot about your character and what you actually value that you think the way Trump would allow Israel to treat Palestinians is preferable to what Biden is doing.
Does it matter if it’s bombs or denying claims to dying cancer patients (among 100 other injustices)? I’d argue the bombs are more honest at least.
The difference is that the complicated mess of a healthcare system can’t be fixed unilaterally by bypassing congress like supplying arms to Israel.

Biden better stop fucking around and fueling fires then.
Yes Biden, noted Lemmy user.
When trump nukes Palestine at least you’ll feel great about “supporting” it with your absurd Russian roulette tactics
Yes, there is a difference. Even in this completely insane “death panels” hypothetical situation, I still would not stand with genocide.

I absolutely don’t think Trump is preferable. I would like Biden to stop using my tax dollars to fund this genocide. That has nothing to do with trump
Yes elections are just thought experiments
