The US has been involved in one genocide or another since its founding. We Can do better, but likely will not.
And I’m also a student of history. Almost every country on the planet has been or is currently involved in some sort of genocide or ethnic cleansing. Because humans kind of suck. We can be better, but we almost never make that choice.

Biden and Harris have made some slight noises about being unhappy with Israel.
But they’re likely waiting for after the election to make any sort of move. But I’m not hopeful that it will be a large move.
