Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.

    Congratulations on enabling everything Trump is doing now while doing nothing to help Gaza.

      congratulations yourself. The only possible scenario in the last election in which a genocide wouldnt happen is if enough voters had pressured Harris and Biden not to try to run again while supporting genocide from the left. Your fallacy is in thinking a Harris/Biden supported genocide would be kinder than a trump one. We have the data on that-- Biden facilitated the majority of the genocide kills so far. There were some lies about him pushing back, that Israel itself said was pure posturing that never actually happened. You pretend Harris wouldnt allow Israel to do whatever it wanted, to whomever they wanted to do it to. Its just pure BS you are spinning.
