    He didn’t, see the first link after the spoiler that has detailed accounts by human rights organizations and genocide scholars on how it has been an ongoing genocide well under Biden’s term. Optics is not action.

    The Biden administration allowed Israel unprecedented leeway to carry out its military offensive, despite the enormous death and devastation it inflicted on Gaza. Former Israeli ambassador, Michael Herzog, made a startling admission about Biden’s support: “God did the State of Israel a favour that Biden was the president during this period. We fought [in Gaza] for over a year and the administration never came to us and said, ‘ceasefire now.’ It never did. And that’s not to be taken for granted.” His remarks encapsulated a broader sentiment that the White House gave Benjamin Netanyahu all the political space he needed to execute the military offensive, which has claimed the lives of more than 52,000 Palestinians, mainly women and children.

      “Unprecedented leeway to carry out its military offensive”?! Are you serious, right now?

      More evidence that the world has collective amnesia of the first Trump term, Jarod Kushner was leading a whole team strategizing the Israel single state solution back then.

          You know what your arguments need? It needs more links. You should go find more links to post. After all, it’s so much easier than actual discourse to constantly paste an index which contains all indexes, right? Just send your enemies a link to an infinite scrolling text.

            So sorry sources offend you

            /s

            Yeah, I have sources from articles, documentaries, books by historians, and more. I back up my arguments. The hasbara doesn’t change, it’s the same shitty arguments that weaponize ignorance every damn time.

            I’ve had plenty of actual discourse. There are plenty of trolls I don’t bother with when they ignore the source material. For those that are genuinely inquisitive and interested in learn more, I have no issue going into more detail.

                It’s ridiculous. The sources directly address what they claim, yet instead of actually reading them, they just complain and deflect. It’s so clear they don’t actually give a shit about the humanity of the situation, it’s just team sports.

                When someone takes the time to show me with sources that I’ve been misinformed on a subject, I take a serious look into the material. I look for other sources to cross reference. If it holds up to scrutiny, I change my opinion, even if it’s just nuance. There’s no shame in changing one’s mind in light of new evidence, everyone is susceptible to misinformation. Choosing to be willfully ignorant on the other hand, is just sad

                  You can post as many opinions as you like, mate, but Biden’s words and actions won’t change as a result of them.

                    Good thing I’m posting direct evidence, not opinions.

                    And yeah, no shit. Biden is a committed Christian Zionist.
