    I’m inclined to agree, but I also don’t know that a lack of munitions would definitely lead to less killing – Israel is a nuclear state, after all, and they seem very inclined to murder Palestinians. A worse-armed Israel might conceivably be even more indiscriminate (as hard to imagine as that is), and I’ve not sat in those JCS or whatever meetings to know what the rational is.

    Maybe Biden is just genuinely prescribing his pro-Israel political opinions on the entire foreign policy. That doesn’t seem too likely, given that he’s Mr. Compromise.
    Maybe the foreign policy really is just that entrenched in orthodoxy. That always seemed most probable to me, that the idea of in any way blinking in the support is just unimaginable to the top State and actual brass.
    Maybe the situation has more complex concerns than any of us know. That’s pretty much certain.

    As it is, I think Biden deserves heavy criticism for this foreign policy. It’s more than just a bad look. Aiding and abetting a genocide is not acceptable, full stop. But the idea that he’s not just failing to adequately stand up to it, but is indeed the cause of it is absurd, and either way one bad policy move shouldn’t completely wash away all the other progress – even though it does for so many people.

    Personally, I like that he’s being protested like this. I just wish the conversation would stop ink-washing his entire term, obviating everything good that has happened. He’s not JUST the alternative to Trump. The IRA alone gives plenty of reason to earn a vote.

      This whole thing has made me understand anti-abortion voters.

      Sometimes you see something that is so fucking horrific that you can not support anyone who is supporting it.

      I was against killing innocents when we did it and I still am.

      I keep hearing about how I am supposed to be more conservative as I age, but the older I get the more radical, I am becoming.

      At what point do we just burn the system down for supporting this kind of shit?

      The war is fucking coming either way, I’d rather it be now, so I can fight it instead of my kids.

        You’re a stupid motherfucker. Remember this comment when Trump wins because idiots like you. You will not get to say that what comes next isn’t on you.

        You think things are bad in Gaza now? Just wait. Voting for someone that just ensures a Trump win doesn’t absolve you.

          How many actual genocide did Trump pull off?

          0?

          Seems like only one of them has actually supported genocide.

          That said, I can’t wait until his grave is a public toilet
