I'm definitely concerned about the state of democracy, plus all of the other issues shown in your cartoon.
I think the war against Palestine is interconnected with them, and Biden is too.
He has already earned the name of "Genocide Joe" for the unconditional support he has given the Israeli onslaught against Gaza.
And now he and his team are trying to tell people not to look at the train wreck on Thursday night. I'm not saying this because I don't like Biden, it's just a fact. If he doesn't allow someone else to be the nominee, it's very likely Trump will win.
Way back in the 1980s, when I was in college, we had a tent city on the UC Berkeley campus to protest the Apartheid regime in South Africa. Lots of parallels to what's been happening on campuses recently with the Palestinian solidarity protests, including violent police crack downs.
During this time, author Kurt Vonnegut came to speak in support of the movement, and against Apartheid. I don't remember what he said then. But here's an amusing clip of him talking about the writing process, explaining the different types of character arcs a story can have.
There is not much left of Rafah any more, most of the eastern and western parts are flattened and the central part of the town are almost like Gaza city.
Netanyahu did what everyone said he would not dare, he took over philadelphia corridor, entered Gaza, displaced half a million people, blocked food entry to north and the south and completely destroyed UNRWA under the eyes of the Biden, Sunak and EU.
The hypocrisy and cowardice of the so called world leaders against this out of control Israeli trump and his Israeli KKK ministers is truly nauseating.

I thought it was a gift, since I asked for it that way. Maybe it expired, since I selected it a few days ago.
Sorry about that, and thanks for creating another alternative.
@plink@palestine@israel They just don't want the world to see their atrocities. It is that simple. They control the borders and who can go in and out. They want to be able to kill with even more impunity.
Asking for feedback
The phrase "From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free" has caused a lot of confusion - some of it genuine and some caused by willful manipulation.
I'm trying to come up with a graphic that can get across what most of those supporting Palestinian freedom mean by it - not expulsion of Jews but freedom and equality for all living there.
Below is a graphic that might end up on a t-shirt.
I've been trying to figure that out @peter_link
The Zionist hasbara is that any attempt to prevent them being the Master Race from the river to the sea is antisemitic. Of course, if they succeed in that, they'll move on to "Greater Israel". @palestine@israel
@peter_link@palestine@israel I don't think you can cut through this controversy with good will, since most of those engaging in it are bad faith actors.
I also think that, however desirable it might be, a one state solution in #Palestine is now impossible.
une petit biais sur le slogan'de ma rivière à la mer"
parce que les pacifistes, et ils sont massifs , ne veulent rien d'autre qu'un état laïque.
C'est à dire séparé l’État des religions ... ce que beaucoup d'israéliens et de pro-israéliens à l'étranger refusent en ne voulant pas voir l'aspect séparatiste d'un état privilégiant un seul culte.
Et hélas même un état sensé être laïc comme la France est dirigé par des anti-laïcs (comme Macron et les droites en général)
"As long as Israel is killing Palestinian civilians in apparent contravention of international law, the UK. government has a responsibility to stop selling it arms."
While everyone wants a permanent ceasefire, the US still talks of a temporary one.
'Earlier Monday, US Deputy Ambassador to the UN Robert Wood told reporters it is “the best, most realistic opportunity to bring at least a temporary halt to this war”."
According to a United Nations official, the extensive rubble and unexploded ordnance left behind by Israel's devastating war in the Gaza Strip could require up to 14 years for removal. Pehr Lodhammar, a senior officer at the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS), made this statement during a briefing in Geneva.
"We were innocently sitting around the house with our captives doing the dishes for us when those nasty Israelis kicked in our front door without even knocking. Rude! How dare they?!"
