      You really need to understand that there is a waaay bigger political spectrum than “Democrats” and “Republicans”. Especially when it comes to foreign policy.

          You are dn the internet and not everyone here is from the US.

          The US political system is not the center of the political world.

          In fact, I think that the Democrat Republican dichotomy is one reason why people in the west are so badly informed when it comes to politics.

          Take off your offended pants and reread what they wrote. If that’s condescension then you’re too sensitive for the internet and should probably log off.

          I am being condescending. They were not.

      Young democrats are more pro-dont-commit-war-crimes whatever the history, older dems are disensitized by war-crimes and obsessed with anti-terrorism.

      Republicans love the war machine and think that genocide/wiping out the opposing side is the only way to resolve anything.

      Biden is trying to put on his best dem face while attempting to also maintain control over nuclear proliferation in the middle east. There’s only 1 party when it comes to global control, and this exposed it clearly. Democratic or Republican presidents, they all answer to the Generals in the end.

          For example by not creating a humanitarian catastrophe for the civilian population of Gaza. By not actively restricting humanitarian aid, food, electricity, water. By setting up field hospitals and making sure that everyone who needs a medical treatment can receive one. By actively trying to limit the civilian casualties and adhering to international laws of war.

          Or is this too much to ask from a state that pretends to be democratic and lawful?

              I’ve seen examples Israel letting in humanitarian aid

              Oh wow, how generous of them. Yesterday apparently they allowed 50 trucks carrying humanitarian aid, for 2.4M people. Please do the math and tell me do you seriously think this is enough?!? Those trucks are carrying not only food, but medical supplies and water. That’s extremely insufficient and is borderline cynical

              but of course they have a concern about supplies getting in that would aid another attack.

              Oh yes, humanitarian aid in the form of food, medical supplies and water can make a great bomb, that will obliterate half of Israel. Do you realise how your argument sounds?

              Even fuel, never heard diesel to be used for any bomb or explosive. Or electricity. But please correct me if I am wrong.

              More attention should be focused on why Egypt also has a blockade against Palestine in most respects too.

              You are also missing the simple fact that actually Israel is also controlling the Rafah crossing, they were bombing it on a couple of occasions. Plus by saying this you are openly admitting that Israel is actively trying to land grab Gaza and expel all Gazans to Egypt. And a question for you with increased difficulty, how easy do you think for a developing country would be to assimilate 2.4M immigrants?

                  Aren’t my points valid though? What’s your counter argument? Yes, I was being sarcastic to emphasize my point but this doesn’t make it less valuable as an input.

              and no one can ever come up with an alternative for what Israel should do.

              Do you live under a rock.

              Israel could stop trying to colonize and genocide palenstine.

                So Hamas kills over a thousand people and Israels response should be…doing nothing?

                  It’s telling that you can’t imagine doing anything other than mass murdering civilians.

                  You could try undermining hamas for once, instead of propping them and giving them constant recruitment material.

              And why do you think those hospitals allow Hamas to operate there?

              Could it be that every Palestinian is scared to get indiscriminately killed by Israel, no matter if they help Hamas or not?

                Looks like homey would rather delete their comment than go online and find out that Palestine doesn’t have armed forces (bonus points for finding out why not).

      Not American, but there is a shift lately that makes me feel a little hopeful. Like for the first time my parents and in-laws are starting to see how not all criticism of Israel has to be antisemitic.

      Yes that does mean we’re having to be more vigilant for actual antisemitism (especially online), but it’s still progress of a sort.
