Bullshit. Trump praises & enables authoritarians worldwide, refused to support the two state solution, emboldened Israeli supremacists by recognizing Jerusalem as their capitol & moved the US embassy there, and cut aid to Palestinian refugees by 80%..
it's not like biden restored that aid, moved the embassy back, and has been advocating a two state solution. he emboldened the israeli supremacists by saying he is a zionist
Yes he fucking has.
Yes he fucking has
your links indicate that the aid has not been restored and he hasn't said shit about a Palestinian state since 2022, but he did just say he is a zionist.
Yes it fucking has "President Joe Biden has restored hundreds of millions of dollars of UN funding that was cut under President Donald Trump."
Yes he fucking has. "Biden Says a ‘Real’ Palestinian State Must Come After War" - 11/16/23
JFC this shit is so easy to Google.
your link does not say it has been fully restored, because it hasn't. and coming in during a genocide to say"when you're done we should talk" is not championing the Palestinian people.
This was your original statement. I have demonstrated beyond a doubt that it is absolutely false.
>This was your original statement.
no, it wasnt
OK so? Biden is actively killing thousands of Palestinian children. Trump cut the Iran deal but he didn't star a war like israel wanted. Trump withdrew from Afghanistan too.
When you follow the money it looks like Genocide Joe is by far the favorite choice for israeli lobbies.
Pro-israel donor recipients.
1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244
2 Perdue, David (R-GA) Senate $1,053,098
3 Trump, Donald (R) President $894,032
Israel really loves Genocide Joe and we can see why. He will even bypass Congress to continue their genocide.
No. Biden is aiding and abetting Israel which is terrible, but there are zero US troops in Gaza, and Biden is not directing Israel's Gaza invasion.
Umm ok, if you're considering all the conflicts of the world, then the genocide of the Climate Crisis is the most devastating. You gonna fuckin tell me how much better Trump is than Biden on climate?
Good thing Biden sent more bombs to israel amirite
