    Biden: We’ve been reluctantly supporting a very close ally, but it’s gone too far, and now we’re publicly condemning while admittedly still funding them. It’s a complicated situation, and I’m a cautious centrist.

    Trump: Why are there still buildings standing in Gaza? That won’t happen on my watch. May as well wipe out the West Bank while we’re at it.

    For the life of me, I can’t tell the difference. I have no idea who to vote for to help the Palestinians.

      There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.

      The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.

      If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.

          What about his actions? How many bombs used in this genocide were sent by the US?

          • We live in a democracy. Maybe you’re thinking of the Arab states surrounding Israel, where one guy decides everything?

            We don’t send bombs to Israel because they need them to kill Hamas. Israel makes all the weapons they need to do that without America. It is a nuclear power. America sends weapons to Israel because of the threat of Iran. And it’s not going to stop doing that because of a local land dispute. Our alliance with Israel is about avoiding a war with Iran, which would result in tens of millions of deaths.

            10,000,000 > 30,000. Simple as that.
