Protesters calling for a cease-fire in Gaza interrupted President Biden’s speech in South Carolina on Monday, the latest example of divisions among Democrats over the fighting in the Middle East. B…
Biden can denounce the genocide of Palestine at any time. Instead he has been bypassing congress to fast track more weapons to Israel. At this point, the only difference between Biden’s response and a theoretical Trump response is that Trump would probably try to get some boots on the ground.
If threatening to elect Trump is what it takes for Biden to stop sending U.S ammunition directly into the heads of Palestinian children, then the ends will have justified the means.
Trump would try. I don’t know if Netanyahu would ask for troops, and I don’t know if Trump and the GQP would be able to fabricate enough evidence for the U.S. public to stomach a foreign war against Hamas, but I know Trump is stupid enough that he’d make a grand, sweeping statement about putting U.S. troops in Gaza before anything was approved.
That might be fair, and maybe Trump would just be shoveling weapons to the Israelis as fast as they could buy them.
However, he’d also be providing zero support for the Ukrainians, and would probably be arguing to cease even more support to Ukraine in favor of support to Israel. While I do not support the genocide of Palestine, I also do not support the idea of Putin grinding Ukraine to dust to suit his ego. Considering Trump would gladly be complicit to both, I’ll still eventually have to vote for Biden.
Well israel can’t win a war against Iran and their neighbours without US help. Netanyahu is doing everything he can to escalate the war with Lebanon and Biden is only supporting him.
Letting israel do as they please is not the problem. Giving them billions in free weapons and bypassing Congress to enable them to do it is the problem.

Wait how is boots on the ground just treated as a “whatever”? That’s usually pretty big isn’t it?

Doubt it. Trump wants his troops at the border to harass Mexicans.
In all his years Trump didn’t start a single war. He even withdrew from Afghanistan.
Chances are higher of Biden starting a war with Iran than Trump.

I just want him to fucking work a bit for it.

Biden received more israeli lobby money than Trump.
1 Biden, Joe (D) President $3,753,244
2 Trump, Donald ® President $894,032
Almost 4 times as much. And that’s just open money.
I’m still on the fence and learning more every day, but it seems to me like Biden is unironcally more Genocidal than Trump.
That said, don’t vote for either of those maniacs. Cornel West, Jill Stein, many alternatives that don’t support genocide.
Seriously the guy who would have let both Israel AND Russia do whatever they please is less.l genocidal? Mind blowing
