“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”

Reads like a bloody Onion article.

    yeah it couldn’t possibly be that international relations in the highly contentious middle east make the problems so tied to religious fundamentalism on both sides that the players are ideologically driven maniacs who will never accept any form of compromise because without the unwavering support of their hardcore adherents they won’t remain in power.

    I’M SURE THAT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO FUCKING DO WITH IT.

    You know if these assholes - both sides - would stop listening to their imaginary friends and look at the reality on the ground, we might have a chance.

    As is, we’re fucked until one of these gaggles of idiots sets off a nuclear war.

    but mmm yeah blame both sides, you’re just looking at both sides on the wrong side of the fucking planet.

      If you think what’s happening in Gaza is purely religious in nature you have absolutely no clue what’s going on. The state of Israel has been illegally occupying Palestine land for decades. They have concentration camps filled with Palestinians where they commit rape and torture.

      Palestinians are fighting for freedom from oppression, they are not fighting for religious beliefs.

      Biden and the American government have been supplying a terrorist state with weapons as they actively commit a genocide. That’s why people are pissed. Biden is literally giving weapons to a fucking war criminal.

        I argue it couldn’t happen WITHOUT the influence of monotheistic madness.

        Pray tell, without the religious fervor on all sides, how long would any of it last? for fucks sake, be realistic

        edit: and your thesis, that Palestine is fighting a purely secular battle - is absolutely absurd. Explain the atrocities on oct 6 without theology, it doesn’t make you seem better, it’s damning.

        ffs people, stop with the silly fucking excuses

      the west has nothing to do with it they just simply set up the settler colonial apartheid state and gave it infinite weapons and constantly protect it from any retaliation.

          They also wear shoes maybe the shoes are to blame.

          As it always was and always has been, religion is used as a tool and an excuse but it’s not the root cause.

            if shoes caused people to hate and murder each other that argument would make sense.

            religion is the lever, put to the work of violence by amoral people, an easy task when they each assert theirs is the only way.

            pfft. shoes.

      You fall right into that “pick a side and get in line to accept whatever their consultants want or get bribed to do” fallacy. If every Dem had pressured the dem leadership by voting uncommitted, the dem leadership would have known they were going to lose and changed course. But people like yourself take whatever slop falls on the floor and call that dogs dinner enough of a democracy. Thats Pathetic.

        feel free to vote for Trump if you think that’s better. Or there’s always Jill Stein.

        Meanwhile, in reality, you assholes are gonna keep the fight going until one side makes the other side glow in the dark, that’ll improve things IMMENSELY.

        Glowingly pathetic.
