The Republican-led U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill on Thursday that would force President Joe Biden to send weapons to Israel, seeking to rebuke the Democrat for delaying bomb shipments as he urges Israel to do more to protect civilians during its war with Hamas.

The Israel Security Assistance Support Act was approved 224 to 187, largely along party lines. Sixteen Democrats joined most Republicans in voting yes, and three Republicans joined most Democrats in opposing the measure.

The act is not expected to become law, but its passage underscored the deep U.S. election-year divide over Israel policy as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government seeks to wipe out militants who attacked Israel on Oct. 7, killing around 1,200 people and seizing 253 hostages, according to Israeli tallies.

The serious debate is defeating trump. I think that’s the only, actual, debate.

Constantly shitting on Biden and discouraging participation is not helpful. And it is constant.

So at what point does Biden cross a line for you?

At what point is lessor of two evils evil enough to say “maybe we find someone else,”?

I would have thought genocide, but whatever. Guess we get to be the bad guys.

What point? When there’s more than six months between now and the collapse of democracy in America.

How - how? - do you expect to find and run somebody else? Alien invasion, okay. Time-skip-wormhole-dealy, I could see that. But in real life? Not bloody likely.

What a convenient excuse to support a genocide.
