@burnoutqueen @nus @israel @palestine Biden’s done more to restrain Israel militarily than literally any other US president. This is not arguable. He’a taken steps that as small as they are were previously unthinkable and foreign policy does not change quickly.

If you punish the one who makes a step - even if you think it’s only a small step - in the direction you want (by removing power from him) while rewarding the one who sends minions to write genocidal slogans on bombs (by helping grant him power), the message WILL NOT be “do more of what we want.” The message will be “more genocide please.”

I wrote about this in long form last week, I hope you’ll consider it:
