Full statement:
The ICC prosecutor’s application for arrest warrants against Israeli leaders is outrageous. And let me be clear: whatever this prosecutor might imply, there is no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas. We will always stand with Israel against threats to its security.
The United States or Israel, which is it to be, Joe?
Fucking Biden, you literally need to do one thing correct to beat Trump. Stop giving Israel aid. For some reason people are under the assumption that Trump wouldn’t be doing worse things for the people of Palestine, but at this point Biden’s on the hot seat. Stop calling Netan-baboon Bibi, cut off his aid and let the courts bring him to justice for his crimes against Palestine. An Israeli version of Hitler isn’t a better version of Hitler, just a repackaging. Not to mention that prior to all his actions recently the dude is an absolute piece of shit who has skirted justice in his own country for years by maintaining his vice grip on the Premiership (which is exactly the playbook Trump hopes to follow if re-elected)
Is this true though? Don’t many liberals support Israel? Are there actual polls that show Biden would benefit from taking a stance against Israel? Genuinely asking.
Seems to me that the people who support Israel unconditionally fall into two groups: The people who’d never vote for him no matter what he does (Republicans), and people who have no choice but to vote for him no matter what he does (Democrats). He can’t gain any votes by giving aid to Israel.
USA: we have proof of genocide in Xinjiang, even if the local government does its best to hide it
Also USA: genocide in Gaza? What? Bibi is such a nice guy! There’s not enough proof, video evidence and direct witnesses don’t count
Difference is: Israel has money and is seen as part of the west.
It’s a democracy.
Nope. Millions of people aren’t allowed to vote based on ethnicity.
Wtf are you talking about?
Millions of Palestinians are forced to live under Israeli military rule but are not entitled to citizenship or suffrage. If they were of a different ethnicity (Jewish), they would be given those rights. It’s also not a geographical distinction, settlers in the West Bank are given full rights while Palestinians living nearby are not.
Canadians also do not have the right to vote in American elections.
Canadians also aren’t subject to American laws or occupation though.
Biden’s really willing to fuck around and let trump win…
All he has do is chill out for 6 fucking months and keep his hands clean, but this is how he’s always responded to people challenging him.
What sank his 88 run wasn’t the plagiarism, it was how he treated reporters that would ask him about.
The more people that protest for him to stop funding a genocide, the more he’s going to lash out like this, and the more voters will equate him to trump.
Which is incredibly dangerous when the most common reason for voting Biden is:
He’s not trump
Biden is betting he loses more supporters if he doesn’t defend Israel. I hope beyond hope that he’s right, but I’m not so sure.
The larger problem is that Biden doesn’t seem capable of nuance. This is a complex situation, and it would be cool to have a leader who can acknowledge that Israel has the right to exist, and has also gone too far in it’s war on the Palestinian people.
There are no heroes in this story. Nobody occupies the moral highground. Innocent blood is being spilled, and the people suffering have no agency in the conflict. It’s just politics and victims of political violence.
It’s not nuanced at all.
Israel is committing genocide. We should not be supporting genocide.
Nobody except maybe a terrorist organization is saying Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.
Israel doesn’t have a right to exist. The levant is a diverse area with a rich history, and Israel looks to genocide the people that are the result of that and replace them exclusively with a single group of people that haven’t been the majority in the area for thousands of years, if ever. Jewish people deserve security and self determination but Israel isn’t it.
Nobody except maybe a terrorist organization is saying Israel doesn’t have a right to exist.
This is untrue. Theocratic apartheid ethnostates don’t have a right to exist and lots of people are saying it
Jesus fucking christ he just cannot read the room. He’s going to throw the whole fucking thing.
The election? How does this stance differentiate him from his opponent?
It doesn’t, which is the problem.
