The DNC have never supported Genocide. Biden tried to broker peace, withheld ordinance. He did not do enough, that is true, but the GOP explicitly do support actual genocide and by not supporting the DNC you've enabled the genocide.

He didn't actually try though, is the thing. If he was trying, he would've actually withheld all of the war supplies the US is providing to Israel. He didn't.

The DNC actively supports genocide and attacked the people who didn't. They are a party of genocide. Simple as.

You're claiming the guy who withheld bombs and swore at his longest ally over the phone wanted the eradication of Palestinian people, but it just doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Every Biden official's stance was to negotiate peace. The emergency humanitarian aid mission and construction of a giant flotilla was the largest in US history.

Tanks hit the ground in Gaza and West Bank for the first time in over a decade after Trump was reelected. All aid into Gaza stopped for two months, remains sharply decreased. Pete Hegseth has openly said death or exodus are the options for Palestine. Neither party's constituency approve of Israel's actions.

Why would Biden do all that for the theatrics? It makes no sense. A pro-genocide actor would not have done so much to stop it.

Biden was like please do not use those big bombs, just use more smaller bombs to exterminate Palestinians. He bypassed the congress twice and also gave 14 billions to Israel to continue the genocide. He claimed to want a cease fire but he knew the problem was Israel yet he blamed it on Hamas

[–] FiniteBanjo@feddit.online -1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You didnt answer my question. Why would he claim to want a ceasefire? Why would he limit Israel's war supplies? Why would he feed Palestinians?

Trump isn't doing any of those things and hes still unaccountable, so why would Biden give a shit, either?

He want to claim to want a cease fire because he is an hypocrite . Hamas demands was so simple, the end of the genocide, Israel returning some of the Palestinians hostages in exchange of returning all the Israeli hostages yet Israel continued the genocide and Biden blamed Hamas knowing very well the problem is Israel.

All the reputable human rights orgs and UN entity said that there is not enough food entering Gaza during Biden

He didn't limit Israel's weapons either, he withheld some then gives billions to Israel in weapons and aids. If I gives you 100$ then I take back 50$ then gives you additional 1000$ I didn't withhold anything for you in fact I increased my aid to you .

You know very well that but you just blinded by your cult like people who voted for Trump

Trump isn't doing any of those things and hes still unaccountable

When did it ever happen for an American president was held accountable. I wish that every single goddamn president who gives billions to Israel to be hang including Trump but no Trump will not even go to jail for pedophilia

A slow genocide is as bad as a fast one for optics, Biden wasn't creating some elaborate facade to fool people opposed to Israel, if facades worked in the first place we wouldn't know about it.

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Biden was definitely creating some elaborate facade to fool people opposed to Israel. The facade didn't work because most people are not dumb or blinded and whistleblowers, human right activists was there to expose him and his criminal administration bullshit .

Biden administration failed to reveal the killer of Hind Rajab but her foundation was able to? It is impossible it was pretty clear that Biden covered the criminal like they did with many other Israeli crimes

Great people are doing to same now with Trump . Trump scuminess is clear he said he will take control of Gaza because it will make him and his oligarchs a lot money.
