    I’m pretty sure a guy who enabled genocide said “I am officially recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel”.

        No. No they aren’t. Not in any fucking world is Biden equally evil compared to Trump.

        First, Netanyahu is the guy ordering the murdering of Palestinians. Not Biden. And the world isn’t Evil Black and Good White. There’s a reason Netanyahu is attacking Palestinians. It has everything to do with Hamas attacking, killing, and kidnapping Israelis. There are no good guys or bad guys in this war. Just a bunch of pretentious pricks using the other side’s bad behaviour as cover for their own, and innocents who can’t get out of the way quick enough. Netanyahu has a Casus Belli in this war, even, so don’t pretend like this is unprovoked.

        Second, Trump has made it clear that among a whole bunch of other really bad shit, he’s going to give Netanyahu carte blanche to go run roughshod over ALL of Palestine with no conditions or strings. Biden has made it clear that we aren’t cool with Israel bombing Palestine back to the stone-ages, but we’re sure not going to stop supplying Israel with arms and money because we know that the instant we do that, all the Middle Eastern countries who have constantly and consistently said over the past half century that their sole goal is to erase Israel from the map will come running in to finish the job.

        Third, even if we DID say that cutting off the flow of guns and bombs to Israel was on the table, they’d immediately turn to their good friend and fellow autocrat Russia and start buying up guns and bombs from them. And Israel has American F-35s. I can imagine the deal now. “Ship us one of those F-35s so we can tear them down and figure out how to detect them and counter them and duplicate them, and we’ll send you a constant supply of bombs and missiles at a discount, while propping up our handpicked dictator-candidate with accusations that the Dems are anti-Semitic and hostile to Israel.”

        Fuck off with your both-sides bullshit.

          When Israel ramped up the genocide to the next tier, Biden responded by sending them more weapons to kill Palestinians.

          Joe Biden is a genocide enabler. Anything else is better.
