You're right, I guess we need to do nothing while thousands of children slowly starve to death before our eyes. I suppose it's just a sacrifice we have to make.

It is literally our shells and bombs which our client state is using to kill children while we are the lone veto in the UN Security Council vote for a ceasefire. Obama and Reagan--yes, Ronald Reagan--withheld weapon shipments to Israel over far less. All Biden has to do is follow his own policy which prohibits providing arms that will likely be used to violate human rights. Instead, he has refused to even place conditions on the weapons he gives to Israel, conditions he has been happy to place on arms transfers to Ukraine.
Biden is not merely complicit. He's a willful participant. He's a war criminal.
The entire fucking ship is committing a genocide
You can't assume the 80% of people who voted for Biden would abandon him the minute he withdrew his support of genocide. They might as easily believe the fud I keep hearing here that an uncommitted vote is tantamount to a vote for Trump.
I'll assume you're arguing in good faith. When I said "wrong side of a genocide" I was clearly referring to Germany as a country, not OP. You do know that Germany has filed in the ICJ on the side of Israel, right?
As to your comment regarding conflation of Palestinians with Hamas, I couldn't agree more. But it's Israel who is treating the entire population of Gaza like Hamas by depriving them of food, water, and medicine in a total siege while they indiscriminately bomb them.
When a third of your population aren't citizens, and in fact most of their families have lived there since the Ottoman Empire, while your citizens have mostly immigrated from abroad in the mid-1900s, and have pushed the non-citizens who predated them into ghettos, you can call it whatever you want. But it's repugnant.
Then you're arguing against a straw man
Yeah, which ones? IndieWire, The Guardian, The Columbus Dispatch, Al Jazeera, Truthout? Those are the only sites I've posted from. Be specific. And when you say middle east, do you mean all of the Middle East or just the murderous ethno-colonial government in Israel?
Nope. Not as long as we can continue our comfortable lives over here. Not as long as it's people who don't look like us--who don't speak our language--doing the dying. Not as long as we can block "Gaza" from our feed when it starts to become a real downer.
