Fuck off with this bullshit. Biden isn't killing a single fucking Palestinian. Netanyahu is. And Netanyahu is bitching that we're not giving him the arms fast enough for his liking, so obviously there's something Biden's trying to do to stop this bullshit. Trump has said he's good with every last Palestinian being killed, and he wants to bring Netanyahu's authoritarianism here to the States so he can lock up Leftists like me and presumably you. Those are our choices -- Biden, who is slowing down the flow of arms to Israel, and Trump who wants to bring Israel's treatment of minorities over to the USA. Who do you support?
Linkerbaan is a troll, I hope you know that. Anti-Biden stuff is all they ever post or talk about.
I know that and I hear what you're trying to say. But we're not going to win by not feeding the trolls. We know this. They know this. And we know they know this. So troll or not, I must debunk him.
I dunno about you, but if one of my friends was pulling a Netanyahu, then I'd have to do a lot more than just "slowing down the flow of arms into Israel".
Unfortunately, you're not running for President.
In January of 2025, one of two men will take the Oath of Office. One has a plan for 2025. You might say a Project 2025. And it's going to end badly for everyone, including the people you profess to support as a single-issue voter.
Thanks for being honest about the Genocide Denial. Refreshment from all the whataboutism libs pretending to care.
Netanyahu holds the reins, so in the most literal sense blaming Biden to cover for Netanyahu is a moral denial of who is really responsible. Unless responsibility means something different in your country.
What do you believe this sentence means
It looks like the title of an article with a URL underneath it.
It looks like you're still giving Biden credit for Netanyahu's actions.
Do you know how Congress has operated for the last 15 years? It hasn't. The Biden administration effectively has to bypass Congress for anything they want to do. I don't really like it but I'm not stupid enough to fall for a bullshit argument especially not when it gives Netanyahu a pass for killing the people you think you're defending.
