    $14 billion in funding for Israel and $100 million in humanitarian support for Palestinian civilians

    So he wants to give the people being killed 140 times less the the people doing the killing? Wow.

    I suppose bombs are more expensive than bread. Maybe one is easier to go without and maybe one is a humanitarian necessity while the other is a crime against humanity but we can’t say anything about that because something something Trump

      Somehow there are people who will look at this and think “he’s doing the best he can!”

    Biden is trying to speed run voter apathy, lmao. I’m still going to vote blue personally, but I am absolutely not surprised by his lack of support, as he’s been doing his work diligently to destroy his chances for reelection, and liberals will blame leftists before they blame Biden and his terrible policy.

    Just stop supporting Israel, and watch support skyrocket.

      Support will certainly skyrocket in Lemmy. I’m certain it’s an important indicator for him

        There are a lot of people outside of just Lemmy who are upset at how Biden is handling the genocide in Gaza. Maybe not that significant of a portion of the population as a whole, but when he’s trying to win states with slim margins, even a relatively small number of people can make all the difference.

          I doubt it matters. In fact, more people probably approve of what he’s doing or not doing.

            Honestly, Lemmy is an echo chamber. The average person on the street knows very little about what’s happening in Palestine and would support Israel over a Muslim state any day. It’s apathy, ignorance, and just being too damn tired to care. But Lemmy will have you believing that people are marching in the millions to stop Israel’s genocide.

              On Reddit it’s the opposite, but with the engagement numbers. Millions support Israel with little variance. Obviously they aren’t all Zionists; they just want Hamas to go away.

                I was banned from Reddit for going against the Israeli genocide (because I reported every comment literally calling for murder or genocide).

    Despite knowing the UNRWA “confessions” were procured by torture and not factual…

    Bidens really willing to let trump become president so he doesn’t have to stop funding a fucking genocide.

    Americans lose no matter who wins this election. It’s just a question of how bad.

    That depresses turnout and that’s how Republicans become presidents

      Congress hardly ever passes a President’s budget.

      He’s certainly letting us know where his priorities lie, though.

        So has your Senators and Representatives, who in the end have the most important say.
