I believe the US should only be supplying Iron Dome defensive munitions to Israel, and should be insisting on more thorough and conclusive investigations into the horrors occurring in Gaza and Rafah, as well as those occurring in Israel’s prisons and hospitals. I don’t trust Blinken, and I believe that Biden’s long-standing rapport with him has created too much trust.

It took significant goading to get you here, and you still won't call it the genocide it is.

You’ve made it a point to criticize my defense of Israelis before, without recognizing that they are not a homogenous nation of Zionists

I'm careful to refer to the genocide as Netanyahu's genocide for this reason. Well, and I want to avoid bad faith accusations of antisemitism like yours.

When I believe you are wrong, like when you choose to label people without asking them of their own choice of label, I am exercising my right to disagree with you.

It's neat how this exercise doesn't also occur in the direction of people who accuse opponents of genocide of being bots, Russians, Trumpists, etc.

Your penchant for accusing people of loving and supporting genocide is both disgusting and juvenile

If someone reacts to "Biden should not support genocide" by calling me a trump supporter for saying so, as far as I'm concerned, that person doesn't want Biden to stop supporting genocide. That's genocide support.

I've lost track of how many times I've said I'm voting for Biden and that's been ignored. I'm still voting for him. I still hope he wins.

And I still think that calls for silence in the face of genocide are support for genocide, and that the idea that opposition to genocide is support for trump is an excuse made by people who just don't like criticism, not of Biden, but of genocide itself.
