The ideal situation is that the war ends and Israel completely fucks off.

That will never happen with Biden.

I don't know why you don't understand it, maybe you're just too used to his actions never following his words?

But he's been saying nothing will ever lessen his support for Israel for about 50 years now...

This is one of his few promises he's definitely keeping.

I know that'll never happen. That's why I said it's an ideal that won't happen. What I'm talking about is picking the candidate who'll kill fewer Palestinians and may listen to reason, over the one who'll crush any dissent over the war and urge Netanyahu to continue.

and may listen to reason

Biden has spent literally 50 years in office and has been saying nonstop nothing would ever erode his support of Israel...

Nothing

And his actions back up his words here.

You think it's a coincidence this is happening while he's US president and Netanyhu was about to be ousted from power?

You know the bulk of the killing in concentration camps was when the nazis knew they were going to lose?

Bibi and his extremists were going to lose power, somehow one the planets biggest intelligence agencies let an attack thru on the anniversary of an attack during a music festival blocks away from the border?

I'm not saying Israel orchestrated it, but they definitely turned a blind eye to a perfect recipe for an attack and used it as an excuse to commit a genocide while they still had the power to do so.

And Biden spending 50 years saying he will unilaterally support Israel over everything certaintly played into any discussions about how this would go. Along with trump being the opponent being pretty much the only way Dem voters would vote for a Dem who wants to fund a genocide and crack down on his own voters for protesting.

This shit isn't ok.

How do you propose we communicate that to DNC and Biden while shutting up and voting for Biden?
