The US is supporting Israel through what we can mostly all agree is a genocide of the Gazans. Clearly, Biden isn’t a genocidal maniac, yet he’s all in with unwavering support. Why are we doing this? There has to be a logical reason that isn’t just “we want Israel to kill everyone in Gaza and take their land a la lebensraum.”

We know this is an emotional topic, so please be respectful of each other so that we can have open and clear authentic discussion on the matter.

    Oh shit!

    Here we go with those 40 decapitated babies again.

    Y’know I hear Israelis fill their menorahs with Palestinian infant’s blood on Hanukkah

        I can believe all of that, what I don’t believe is them deliberately decapitating babies or baking them.

        It’s really easy to throw extra vicious complaints about someone and then back way off and say “Oh, you don’t believe they were doing these other lesser things either.”

        It’s very disingenuous and shows that they don’t actually believe their claims, but that they are trying to conflate the two to confuse people.

        That isn’t what you’re doing is it?

          I don’t think I’m doing that. I do believe the cousins about the babies. Whatever one thinks about Israel and the whole situation there - from full throated supporter right through to anti semitic holocaust denier - I and convinced Hamas are utterly evil and in no way a friend is the Palestinian people. If Israel are committing genocide (and I don’t believe they are, though I’d like to see them put much more effort into not hitting civilians) then those poor people are being destroyed by two groups either side of them with no where to go to escape.
