    So that’s American tax dollars that could go to funding things that actually impact Americans directly.

    Maintaining peace in the Middle East is important- and the one of the most egregious arguments before all this happened is to provide leverage to keep Israel…. From doing … this.

    The reality is that argument is a lie. The war in gaza has set back the goal of peace in the Middle East by decades. Maybe even centuries, while bringing us inexorably closer to WW3.

    If Biden reverse course now… he has a chance. If he stays the angry old Zionist, though… he’s going to lose in November.

      It always amazes me how many people suddenly give a shit about Palestine when less than a year ago, most couldn’t find it on a map.

      But predictably… every election year to no one’s surprise, a group of people find something to use as a reason to suggest to everyone listening- that not voting is a good idea.

      My guess is these same people- the people that couldn’t point to Palestine on a map less than a year ago…. WILL be voting this year.

      Can you guess for what side?

        We should all vote for Biden. Biden should stop supporting genocide.

        And I get that you want to paint everyone who doesn’t support Netanyahu’s genocide as ignorant children, but it’s just not so. Abuse is not a substitute for defensible positions.

          Are you going to follow me everywhere to harass me with your propaganda, or can you maybe take a hint and find something else to do.

            Follow you around? This is all in the same comments section to the same article.

            You just don’t want your pro-genocide propaganda challenged.

                You seem to have confused “abuse and wild accusations” for “shutting someone down.”

                  At least I didn’t confuse “troll.”

                    That’s just one of the things you call people who don’t support genocide. You sure shut me down by countering nothing I had to say and lobbing insults instead.
