minus-square@jordanlundOPMlinkEnglish1•3 days agoI’m not denying the genocide, Israel is absolutely committing genocide. Biden’s support of Israel was NOT FOR THE GENOCIDE. Biden supported the legitimate defense of Israel. Netanyahu and Likud abused that support. There are two things going on here: #1) Iran and Iran affiliated groups are attacking Israel. #2) Israel is commiting genocide against the Palestinians. Biden was attempting to head off #1, while Israel re-directed that support to #2.
