    I’d just like to remind you folks the headline you’re debating under:

    Nikki Haley writes ‘finish them’ on IDF artillery shells during Israel visit

      Biden/Dems sent the genocide bombs and Haley/Republicans autographed them.

      I’m not sure how that improves things

        US presidents are required by American law since 2008 to ensure that Israel is better armed than all its neighbours. Biden doesn’t have a real choice unless he can get a bill through both houses to stop arming Israel. I don’t think that’s even remotely realistic.

        Trump would be twice as bad for Palestine. “Finish them” is an actual call to genocide.

        But you don’t care for facts, you just want to blame Biden for everything that you think left wingers might not like so they’ll not vote and Trump can get in.

            Sounds like Nikki Haley is supposed to be fined half a million dollars in that there anti genocide law you linked to:

            Whoever directly and publicly incites another to violate subsection (a) shall be fined not more than $500,000 or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

            I don’t think you can interpret Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb as anything other than a call to genocide.

            Sorry if that interrupts your attempt to make this news article not about Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb.

              But she obviously will never be charged. Ever.

              Genocide is bad because it’s evil, not because it’s illegal. Idk why you’re fixated on laws here

                Which would make Nikki Haley writing “finish them” on an Israeli bomb when Israel is already bombing vast numbers of civilians in Gaza about the most obvious, public and and direct call to completed genocide you could make, I think.

                Do you think she did it to make it more likely she’d be picked as Trump’s running mate/Secretary of State, or do you think she’s just pitching early to be the post-Trump leader, or is she just a run of the mill genocidal maniac?

                  Who cares? Biden sent the bombs and Netanyahu is using them. She has no power here - they do.

                  She’s evil as a general matter. But Biden and Netanyahu are worse regarding the current genocide

                    You keep changing the subject away from Nikki Haley’s call to genocide. But I’ll bite again. The key question for American voters who care about Gaza is whether Trump or Biden are going to be worse for the Palestinians, because the election is on a knife edge according to the polls. Which do you think would be worse?
