We’re going to continue to make sure Israel is secure in terms of Iron Dome and their ability to respond to attacks that came out of the Middle East recently… But it’s, it’s just wrong. We’re not going to – we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells
If Joe “I’m a Zionist” Biden is dropping public statements like that whist icing out aid, there’s so, SO much more that isn’t being said. Like that report Blinken was meant to release today, but got delayed…
Oh look, the thing we said Biden should've done from day one is effective. I'm sure all the 'serious' people that said you can't just condition aid to Israel will apologise for being wrong and allowing for the murder of 20000 children.
Hey, I was one of those people, and I paid attention to polls. Israel has squandered a lot of good will, but Biden has to be very, very careful here because there's still a lot of zionist democrats.
And he is being careful.
But as Israel does more genocidal things, they'll lose more support, and Biden will be able to ramp up the pressure on them.
All we've been saying, this whole time, is that Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected. Not what's righteous. What's practical.
Biden needs to do whatever he needs to do to get elected.
Up to and including supplying weapons and funding for a genocide? This position is morally reprehensible. I'm sympathetic to the argument that people should still vote for Biden for harm reduction, but suggesting Biden's support for Israel's genocide is justified because it helps him get elected is way over the line.
