Why does Biden support genocide?

[–] JayDee@lemmy.ml 13 points 11 months ago

Because he is the poster child of conserving the Reagan-enshittified status quo, and the US administration is attempting to continue keeping a leg up on the cold war it desperately wants to continue.

I don't know. Why does Trump support it even more strongly?

[–] SquirtleHermit@lemmy.world 33 points 11 months ago

Because Trump's a piece of shit.

I'd go so far as to say anyone who supports genocide is a piece of shit.

Butterymales vibes.

Also, Trump isn't the President. So whatever he may, or may not do, is hypothetical... It's also irrelevant to what Biden is actually doing...you know, because he's the current president....

I know. The concern is just that people will run from Biden to someone even worse, not realizing he is even more extreme in his support for Netanyahu. So it seems worth mentioning. I know there's no ready answer. The electoral system leaves Americans no good options.

In the tech industry, when a system doesn't work and can't be fixed we throw it out and start over.

I'm also in the tech industry and that's not my experience.

According toReuters, "two children were among the dead laid out" at Al Aqsa Martyrs Hospital following Thursday's strike. Mourners told the outlet that "the children had been killed along with their mother."

"This is not war, it is destruction that words are unable to express," said Abu Mohammed Abu Saif, **the father of the two children. **

This man just lost his wife and 2 kids. That must be unbearable.
