It’s great to see everyone concerned about Palestine recently. Wish it had been this relevant the last decade plus when Israel was steadily slaughtering far more. Just not in the news every day.
Of course it’s also a little odd how so many seem focused on a pyrrhic victory against Biden. Biden wasn’t in charge for the last 15+ years. It’s also telling that neither the House or Senate is doing anything about it. Almost like it isn’t a Biden problem. And that whether he wins or loses it won’t change anything for the better. We should have cut Israel off 60 years ago. So it’s kind weird to see all the obsessing about him personally. Well, not really weird when you understand how many foreign influence operations there are going on right now. Eager not to actually help anyone. But just to see a country fail.
I will say this though. Biden has no one but himself to blame for giving so many disingenuous people such a prime opening to attack him on. It was a massive unforced error on his part. Where he got nothing in return good or bad. But that’s what happens when you deal with brutal ethanationalist like netanyahu.
it’s also a little odd how so many seem focused on (…) Biden
That’s because he has the bad fortune on being the president at the time where significant parts of the country (but hardly any of the rich fossils in Congress) are finally having their eyes opened to the horrors perpetrated by the Israeli government for the last 75 years and demanding that the US stop supporting it.
And also because he’s refusing to do so because he’s so much of an AIPAC lickspittle he once bragged about going to more of their events than anyone else in Washington without a hint of self depreciation.
No doubt. But I still don’t understand how this gets rationalized to be a Biden problem. This is a problem with our legislature. They’ve increasingly given more and more of their power to the executive branch over the years. They could stop this in a heartbeat. But they don’t. Because as you’ve said, they’re all complicit.
However, ironically the only party with any sizable group in it seeking to fix this would be the Democrats. And yet people are looking to hamper those very same Democrats by specifically targeting a guy who’s not really that much worse than any of the others. To make some sort of misguided example?
Very well said. I assume these folks are either completely naive, with no foot in reality on how politics works, or willing/paid/inadvertent shills. Anyone who blasts Biden on his response to Palestine, and with the same neurons in their head thinks that Trump would be any better is just delusional or down right disingenuous.

They didn’t slaughter far more in the last decade, and they’re doing all this slaughtering at a much faster pace with much more openly genocidal intentions. There’s a very easy and direct reason they’re getting a lot more attention right now that doesn’t involve your whining about unfair attention to the guy who is personally going around Congress during the genocide to give them more tank ammunition to fire into Palestinian buildings.
But it doesn’t really seem like you care about getting more support for Palestinians rather than blunting harm to the man who’s actively harming them.

Tl;Dr: Because he’s unlucky but also complicit.

He’s the one giving weapons to Israel.
