We’re listening… the message is loud and clear, but the far right extremists in this country will never stop supporting Israel. They’re okay with atrocities committed against Muslims. Hell even the antisemites of the far right are cheerleaders for Israel. Meanwhile the rest of us are horrified by the actions of both sides and are fully aware that both sides are far right religious extremists.

Please. This is bipartisan. Biden has unlimited support for Israel.

Yes, Biden is in fact a far right extremist. They don't call him Jim Crow Joe for nothing.

You can't just lump both parties together like that!

He's a regular rightwinger. Extremism, by definition, has to be unusual. Biden is normal in American politics.

Yeah and normal in american politics is extremist in the civilized world.

The Biden administration is deciding US policy in this matter.

So just bog-standard right-wingers, then?

It's not just the far right extremists, the average liberal is for it as well. But then again the average liberal is one villain arc from going full nazi germany, so...

That's right, the far right extremists who are currently in charge of US government are supporting a genocide.
