    I don’t know what would be more ridiculous, that you’re right and once someone is a US ally we have to support anything they do, up to and including genocide…

    Or that you know you’re wrong and rationalizing that hard to defend a genocide.

      Things I have not stated:

      1. We should support anything an ally does
      2. Defending a genocide

      Come back and read the thread once you’ve taken a few deep breaths.

      As I did clearly state “I get it, they’re both shit choices. Spicy Cuttlefish or Vanilla Bean Paste situation.”

      Don’t be angry at me because the system has been fucked since before either of us were born. Russia wants us to be devisive against each other. They want a strong disenfranchised faction of Dem voters to “go against Biden” so that the Russublicans take power again.

        Agreed

        Which is why Biden needs to stand up to Israel to stop his political bleeding on this and mitigate the harm that has already been done

        Ending Israel’s genocide immediately is the politically pragmatic move. Biden is losing votes and helping Trump by not prioritizing this to the greatest extent possible

        And Netanyahu knows this. And Netanyahu prefers Trump to Biden for innumerable reasons. Which is why Netanyahu has been making the killing as barbaric as possible - it hurts Biden and helps Trump; in addition to it satisfying Likud’s own goals of annexing Gaza

        Likud Israel is not Biden’s ally, and Likud Israel may not even be the West’s ally. Biden needs to immediately reorient our view of Israel or the world will suffer the consequences of a final Trump presidency
