Biden did not sell weapons to be used in genocide. Biden believes, legitimately believes, that the Israelis are good people and would use the weapons for the proper defense of Israel.
He's wrong, possibly deluded, but he did not support the genocide. Israel are the bad guys here, not Biden.
Yup. Kinda how it all works.
All of which is calling for death. It's literally the first word. They're trying to be precious about it by trying to couch it in uncertain terms, but this is a follow up post where they also called for death and violent action.
This is the equivalent of "I'm not touching you! I'm not touching you!"
Don't be stupid and look at what they're doing in context. They're calling for violent action, which is removable. Doing it repeatedly is bannable.
Because this group seems to love it. :)
Yeah, like the guy I literally just banned for pro-Israel propaganda:
https://lemmy.world/modlog?page=1&actionType=All&userId=89129
They never used it to justify they genocide, they DID use it to justify continuing to support Israel.
As long as Iran keeps rattling the saber about wanting to destroy Israel, we will keep funding and supplying Israel, regardless of the absolutely evil shit they keep doing.
Israel exists, largely, because of the United States and no US President will ever walk away from that.
Whether they think the rules are "stupid" or not is irrelevant. If they want to participate in the group they can abide by them or they can find a different community.
Here's someone I just banned for pushing pro-Israeli lies about the genocide, expect to see them posting here any minute now:

It's super simple... people break the rules, they catch comment removals and bans, they come here to bitch, you look at their modlogs and realize they're nutjobs.
Seriously... I mod 3 large lemmys. I banned LustyArgonian in ONE of them and they're going crazy here. Check their modlog:

Moddable behavior going back almost a year and not just in my community and not just from me.
You'd have to go state by state, but here you go to get you started:
California:
https://elections.sbcounty.gov/faqs/not-connected-to-internet/
"No. According to California Elections Code section 19205, “no part of a voting system shall be connected to the internet at any time, or electronically receive or transmit election data through any exterior communications network.”
Colorado:
https://coloradonewsline.com/2024/10/15/colorado-voting-machines-not-connected-to-the-internet/
"Most counties in Colorado have upgraded their voting systems equipment since 2020 to models that physically cannot connect to the internet, and those that rely on older machines are statutorily required to disable any wireless capability.
Election officials say that even the older models do not create a vulnerability in the voting system, as some conservative politicians and activists claim."
Texas:
https://www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/conducting/security-update.shtml
"No voting system is ever connected to the internet at any point - either when votes are being cast or when they are being counted. (Sec. 129.054, Texas Election Code)."
Washington D.C.
https://dcboe.org/getmedia/0af1fe48-d63c-4ec5-8bcf-ca61f2c2de5e/Cyber-Security-detail.pdf
"It is important to note that DC’s voting machines are never connected to the internet; voting machines have tamper- resistant seals; and our machines are audited regularly while we continually update our equipment with the latest technologies and protections."
You can do the other 47 states yourself, I'm not going to spoon feed you.
Any "source" that suggests voting machines are connected to the internet and are therfore hackable is suspect. That is a patently false allegation that you made REPEATEDLY.
No, they were repeatedly trolling other users and instigating slapfights that we had to deal with over and over again. Check the modlog. I made sure to remove every single trolling, sealioning, slapfighting comment.
They're a shitheel and it's good they're gone.
Pretty much, Biden's views on Israel were formed long before any of us were born and never updated for the current state of the world.
I'd love to ask him why we never took action when they tried to kill our ambassador to Lebanon for having the temerity to open negotiations with the PLO, but then, if HE couldn't get a straight answer, there's no way I would.
https://www.wrmea.org/2002-november/american-ambassador-recalls-israeli-assassination-attempt-with-u.s.-weapons.html
"Picked up by Lebanese security, the anti-tank canisters had made-in-America markings. After unanswered telegrams to the State Department and all but silent responses to his telephone inquiries, Dean eventually learned that the anti-tank weapons were sold and shipped to Israel in 1974. Dean apparently mused to himself on the irony of an American ambassador being subjected to an Israeli assassination attempt with American weapons supplied to Israel for defense."
