March 22, 2024 - Israel’s far-right finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, announced the seizure of 10 square kilometers (3.8 square miles) of Palestinian territory in the West Bank on Friday. The move marks the single largest land seizure by the Israeli government since the 1993 Oslo accords, according to Peace Now, a settlement watchdog group.
I don't need the weekly Biden gaslight lip service I've already read it.
Biden is inviting Netanyahu over to speak in Congress so the uniparty can bow down to their glorious leader. He is not sanctioning israel and is continuing to send them weapons. Only some big bombs got held up but he made sure to send israel enough smaller ones. Weapon experts have left his administration over Bidens violations of weapons laws.
Biden has also rejected the ICC warrant already. Him not sanctioning the ICC barely makes a difference. You are truly looking for the smallest of differences here which says a lot about Biden.
Even if Biden should do more, you're deliberately pretending Trump's record on this is unknown to be able to pretend they're the same. I know you know how bad he is, and you're lying about it.
Biden is supporting the literal Genocide of Palestinians. If we go by pure track record Trump would be miles ahead of Biden as he is not the person sending weapons to israel for Genocide.
But granted that Trump would likely do the exact same thing as Biden is doing right now if he actually was in charge, it's still pretty impossible for Trump to do much worse than Biden.
His old article doesn't count because Biden isn't sanctioning israel after they commit the crimes Biden would find so appaling in my newer article.
His newer article proves my point. Biden wagged his finger before and subsequently did nothing. New finger wagging articles from Biden mean nothing because there is no action to back it up.
How can Biden keep warning israel about consequences if he never imposes said consequences when his warnings are violated?
We are talking about the biden that is only talking peace deal to save his election. We all know he wont follow through with it and Israel has already said they dont approve.
Politicians are mostly assholes. We got this one to move in the right direction.... his opponent is still advocating for "ending the war quick" and would likely start sending over war-crime munitions.
Out of one side of his mouth, Biden talks about peace out of the other side of his mouth, he talks about sending more money and weapons. One side is lying and it's not the side about sending money and weapons
We got this one to move in the right direction
What direction is that, he didn't listen when they said defund cops, didn't listen when we said universal healthcare, didn't listen when we sent cease fire, didn't listen when we said expand marginalized rights.
Yes, the one that has said for 50 years he will always support Israel no matter what...
Like,remember when he had that falsified report claiming no evidence American weapons had been used in the genocide?
He said that was why he could keep providing munitions...
Then there was an indisputable evidence of American munitions used in Raffah...
And he's done...
What exactly?
Besides continuing to break US and international law by providing munitions used in a genocide.
Biden can draw asany lines as he wants, Bibi seems to enjoy leaping over them immediately. And it's not like Biden has anything else he could be doing.
Edit:
Did you even read that two sentence article?
It doesn't really provide any info, so not sure why you're linking it.
But Biden's "deal" is literally what Israel wants, it's not even a permanent deal...
And Hamas isn't accepting that, they accepted a deal that leads to a permanent ceasefire, not a 6 week pause.
That's what Biden is pushing, Hamas gives up everything, and Israel tries to avoid killing civilians for a month and a half.
Did you read about the Trump peace deal (organized via his kids!), which would require only Palestinians to make concessions, giving up land, giving up freedoms, being subject Israel's security forces, giving them no rights, and which gave all power to Israel (and which obviously fell through)?
Biden applies political pressure on Netanyahu to push for ceasefire:
The plan proposed a series of Palestinian enclaves surrounded by an enlarged Israel,
Netanyahu announced that the Israeli government would immediately annex the Jordan Valley and West Bank settlements while committing not to create new settlements in areas left to the Palestinians for at least four years. U.S. Ambassador to Israel David M. Friedman claimed that the Trump administration had given permission for an immediate annexation, stating that "Israel does not have to wait at all"
The plan itself places no conditions on Israel with regard to proposals to "annex parts of the West Bank".[8]
The plan puts the Palestinians on probation, establishing a set of conditions they must meet and adopting Netanyahu's view that a shrunken Palestinian entity will be a state in name only; Israel will control of its borders, air space, electro-magnetic spectrum, foreign policy and security
Biden has helped clear away 115 sq miles of Gaza land for Trumps kids. Its fucking insane how groups if people will overlook whats actually happening and be terrified of what might happen,
Appearing for an arranged photo op doesn't make him anymore union than Trump's photo op at a church with a Bible made him Christian. Biden still answers to capital first and leaves us with table scraps.
It's bad when trump supports a genocidal regime...
It's bad when Biden supports a genocidal regime...
Now, here's the big one. Get up and stretch, take a nice long deep breathe.
Ready?
It's bad when literally fucking anyone supports a genocidal regime.
Here's another big one:
If you excuse Dems for doing something because trump does it too, then if you don't slow down and look around, you're going to be supporting someone just like trump, because republicans found some asshole even worse.
but you refuse to accept that Trump is 10 000x worse
No I don't, because he obviously is.
It's just neither of them are good enough to be president.
Like,you know there's not really a valid reason to run unpopular neoliberals just because trump is in office right?
We could just runnwhat Dems historically do very very well with:
A young charismatic person running a progressive campaign.
There is literally no reason to be running someone the majority of registered Dem voters don't want to be president, just because they don't want the Republican.
Ok, then tell me who that candidate is who can win instead of Biden.
I'm waiting.
I am not super fond of Biden, and wouldn't mind seeing him replaced. But my top priority is harm reduction, and switching to a candidate who can't beat Trump would send USA into turmoil
Are you saying Biden personally is causing the most harm, and that Trump wouldn't cause more? Or do you think it's irrelevant that acting as you suggest would make things worse?
I don't disagree he's handled it bad, but your options are between pressuring him to do better or Trump wrecking everything he gets his hands on
If you haven't realized it, there is no 'pressuring Biden' I'm not saying that Trump would cause more harm or Biden is causing more harm. Harm is harm. People are dying. People are being starved. It doesn't matter who is doing it, right now the greater evil is Biden. He is the one actively engaging in killing and starvation of people. If people would move beyond the bullshit concept of lesser evil and simply accept no evil, then we might be able to progress as a country.
If you haven't noticed both of them work in tandem to benefit the wealthy against the needs of the working class
