      As opposed to the Democratic leaders who chose Genocide over winning an easy election? The same leaders who were brilliantly telling voters to sit down and shut up, who made everything so much better, and doubtless learned a lot?

        The state of the American mind is such that they literally cannot conceive of an outcome that doesn’t massacre 450k people and counting.

          I call it inherent suppremacism. They never considered foreigners as human, they solely comprehended gaza through the lense of their domestic politics. Still do: vylan is a british artisk afaik, blocked by the british governement, for his stance about a genocide that happens in the middle east.

          Still some american idiot WILL take that opportunity to spreas his admin-sanctionned denialist narrative according to which “no the genocide was unavoidable actually you are the scums for not voting for the genocider. Now i have to face my own medecine and it’s so bitter”

          As opposed to a fantasy, yes.

          Ah yes. Nothing is possible, we should accept the scraps that our rulers and industry leaders allow us and be grateful. “The orphan crushing machine is quite tolerable today, thank ye sire for only taking three children”.

          If Biden truly wanted to, he could have curbed Israel in 2023. And not even anything as bold as an immediate and complete arms embargo; there was a lot of US soft power that he and Harris refused to wield, and what was done was largely token optics like sanctioning settlers whilst shipping arms contrary to US regulations, or ‘pausing’ delivery of 2,000lb bombs whilst keeping the 500lb & 1,000lb bombs and artillery shells flowing.

            If Biden truly wanted to, he could have curbed Israel in 2023.

            Through what means and with what downside? “Because he said so” and “None / Who cares” aren’t options.

            You’re really sure though, so I’m interested to know.

              He could have simply said that he wouldn’t be selling them weapons in accordance with the Leahy Law.

              Whose votes do you think he would lose? Centrists? I thought they were all about “no matter who.”
