    Liberals will use this to justify voting for Biden because clearly he’s been holding the genocide back from being even worse. 🙄 🤮

    Just wait until October, Israel is definitely going to have a “leaker” release audio of a call between biden and netanyahu where Biden will be saying some extremely gross shit

    I may sound a bit chauvinistic here, but the Democrats seem like they have completely stopped factoring in how weak this ordeal has made Biden look in the traditional sense. Although in an ideal world we would not ascribe so much value to perceptions of dominance and “alpha” status, in the eyes of non sycophant general voters this ordeal of Biden moving heaven and earth for Israel only to have Bibi still attack him for not doing enough absolutely makes Biden look bitchmade, and therefore unfit to lead.

      I disagree in a very clerical and academic sense. I would have used phrases like “picked the wrong friends,” “walked into predictable traps,” and “got stuck between a rock and a hard place.” If he’s able to command so many billions of dollars and cause that much suffering, I don’t doubt the capacity of Biden('s apparatus) to command a ridiculous force. I guess I don’t believe in a requisite amount of dominance to have Bibi do as he’s told if a worldwide military superstructure can’t do it. I want to believe 10cm of height, 20kg of muscle, a scowl, and a no nonsense attitude wouldn’t change anything. isntrael just needs to be dissolved for justice to prevail.

    C’mon Joe, you love massacring civilians, why not bomb the knesset while it’s in session?

    A part of me wonders if this is some kind of 5th dimensional chess where Biden actually wants him to criticize him to muddle the narrative when he’s actually giving him everything he wants.

      Israel can only exist because of American imperialism, and the whole purpose of its existence is to keep control over the Middle East for American imperialists to do as they desire. There’s technically nothing contradictory about Trump saying he’s got America’s best interests in mind and also being rabidly zionist. The only ironic thing here is that Biden has a longer history of zionism and has long used his power to keep Israel afloat. Bibi playing hard to get shrug-outta-hecks

    proof to me that democracy is fake and that foreign policy has nothing to do with electoral politics because no elected official actually has meaningful say in what we do abroad
