Eighteen hundred 2000 pound bombs!
Genocide Joe wants every last Palestinian in refugee camps blown to bits!
He seems to want that more than a second term in office.
Even the libs have accepted at this point Biden can't even do worse than Trump when it comes to supporting this Genocide. As Biden is 100% all in on Genociding every last Palestinian.
Now they've given up and talk about the differences in domestic policies. You can have Genocide with abortion and trans rights!
Trans Rights are human rights!
Agreed.
I think the mask slipped for a moment, given the person you're replying to often echoes Russian propaganda and seemingly wants Trump to win the US election.
Poorly worded comment from you here, or at least I hope it's poorly worded.
Will adjust it for better wording. Intended to show the pinkwashing of the Genocide.
Ah.
No bro, he sanctioned 7 settlers, he is against genocide bro
He's now walked back those sanctions because Israel threatened to financially punish Palestinians in retaliation.
Threatening collective punishment to sway political action? That sounds an awful lot like a two-fer. An exquisite entree of genocide paired with a lovely glass of terrorism.
The America that Americans are taught that America is would've bombed the everloving fuck out of Israel right now. I truly cannot understand why the fuck we're still helping Israel right now. I must be a clueless dumb fuck because I see zero upside and a shitload of blowback for this, and I don't exactly have an Ivy League J.D.
I think there's a short-term upside (maintaining their hegemony foothold in the middle east, fuelling the arms dealing economy) with a long-term downside (accelerated erosion of US soft power, globally).
Unfortunately those in power have an "apres moi la deluge" approach.
Of course there's a French phrase for this lol.
This is definitely the case. When presidents and congresspeople are in their 70s and older, it's pretty foolish to believe that they're trying to leave a decent country to their adult grandchildren. Late stage capitalism will find the breaking point for this strategy in the private sector, hopefully before the public sector finds the line where nukes are flying everywhere.
