    The problem is not military restrictions. Biden did not have any either. The problem is recognition of annexed territories. We see how Israel is clearing out the northern part of Gaza and they are already talking about annexing the West Bank. We are likely to see a lot more violence in the West Bank soon. My guess is parts of Jerusalem and Jericho being in focus.

      Don’t look too hard at Harris’s pick for VP if this is the pretext for “we’re not as bad” that you’re clinging to

      Did you know the Democrats are the first party to have a Palestinian-American woman elected as a member of Congress? Her name is Rashida Tlaib, and Israel has banned her from entering their country, and Marjory Taylor PieceofShit attempted to pass a resolution censuring her for her criticism of Israel.

      Hm, I wonder if any of the “anti-genocide” assholes ever stopped to think about Rashida, and whether she would have wanted Democrats to sit out this election or vote Green. I wonder if they understand anything at all.

        Tlaib has generally been the sole voice against US support for Israel in Congress and very publicly refused to endorse Harris days before the election.

        She got nearly twice the support in her district as Harris did.

        When you definitely know Tlaib’s positions lmao

        Incredibly chauvinistic to use her as a talking point and put your own positions into her mouth without listening to anything she says.

      Trump will enable any genocide the Israelis commit, and loudly gloat over it.

      But yeah, both sides are the same…

        You have correctly identified the relevant difference: rhetorical approach.

        Biden-Harris: feigned concern and “ceasefire” claims while providing unconditional support for the genocide.

        Trump: no feigned concern or “ceasefire” claims while (presumably) providing unconditional support for the genocide.

        But this difference means nothing materially, of course. If someone punches you with a smile on their face do you thank them for it?

        As opposed to enabling any genocide the Israelis commit and unconvincingly pretending to wag his finger at them, like Biden is still doing.

      Yes. Now make sure you stand in front of a mirror once a day and say that out loud so you actually start to believe it.

        The Biden-Harris regime has provided, unconditionally, the material snd diplomatic support needed for Israel to carry out this genocide. If you support them, you are complicit.

        Who should look in the mirror?

        To pretend that Biden did not deliver weapons to Israel used for a genocide, but Trump will make it even worse? I just need to read the news for that. No need for a mirror.
