    It’s like your trying to make this more complicated to somehow shift Bidens culpability away.

    Yes. I’m the individual who made government a series of bodies and functions more complex than the operations of an individual.

    That was me.

      What bodies are relevant here? Congress has famously not approved aid for Isreal, so it’s not them. Joseph R. Biden, commander in chief of the armed forces pursuant to Article 2, Section 2 of the US Constitution has unilateral authority to approve, disapprove, or condition arms sales to Isreal. I don’t know what you think is constraining him.

      Unless you are referring to AIPAC, in which I take your point.

          I assume you either just don’t know what your talking about or are desperate to make this not Joe Bidens fault. But it is. And even if Biden has his hands tied in certain ways, it’s not like he’s complaining about it. The day of the flour massacre the administration pointedly reaffirmed that they would continue providing aid despite the human rights abuses. But whatever, pretend Biden isn’t responsible for sending bombs to Isreal to drop on kids, whatever makes you feel better about yourself.

            You are sending taxes to the government to send bombs for Israel to kill kids with.

            So ultimately, this is all your fault.

              Oops! Looks like you you weren’t able to find a way to keep shifting blame from Biden. Nice dodge!

              I and you and we all do bear some responsibility for the genoicde in Gaza though. Your trying to make a dumb argument, but your actually right. While we, as individual tax payers, do not make decisions on where the money is going, why do have control over who we elect to represent us (to some extent in our two party system).

              Which is why I voted non committed in the primary. It’s also why I stopped paying federal taxes years ago!

                What? Transitive responsibility for everybody else but you, right?

                Childish response. It’s fair for you to put these rules of responsibility on everybody else until it’s your turn to face the music.

                  If you’re not moving against the system, you’re part of the system.

              Now you’re starting to get it. Americans are the bad guys!
