Israel has needed a reckoning since basically day one. America has danced around the fact and played defensive older brother for three quarters of a century. All for a “foothold” in the region.
And as a long term senator, vice president, and president. Biden is more culpable than many in Congress. But it still is a Congress problem. The executive branch oversees diplomacy, defense, and execution of law under federal authority. Congress writes the laws, approves aid, and cuts the check. Biden can speed it up, and slow it down. He’s done both and is crucified regularly from both ends for doing so. All in an effort I’d call overly diplomatic and undeserved on netanyahu’s part.
I got no problem with people expressing disappointment and worse with Biden. I’m not a Democrat. I have no love of the party. I’m not a liberal either. I’m too fringy for most progressives. Fuck the Democrats. But I know, for a fact. January 20th 2025 there’s still gonna be a Republican or a Democrat in the whitehouse. And god help us if its a Republican. And by us I mean the world not just Americans. Because things WILL be worse.
I’m all for primarying every single Democrat in upcoming midterm elections etc with Pro Palestinian candidates for the next 20 years. But if we could stop being useful tools for actual fascists. Practicing self harm. Long enough to not hand the actual fascists control of another branch of government. That’d be great. K’ thanks bye
I agree. You aren’t rebutting anything I said.
