To be completely fair, I don't think anyone is blaming Biden for all of the conflict between Zionists and Palestinians historically. What we are blaming him for is facilitating the last 7 months of blatant genocide and ethnic cleansing by sending money and weapons to Israel and defending them at every turn. without Biden's unwavering support, the last 7 months would look a hell of a lot different for Palestinians.
I respectfully disagree, I think the military aid and supplies that the US sends them definitely enables the disastrous policies against the Palestinians.
I don't think it is. If Biden cancelled all aid to Israel over this, I think we'd see a big shift in Israeli policy. Remember what happened when the US finally dropped their support of apartheid SA?
My support for Palestinian liberation has nothing to do with Algeria, sorry.
Israel actually have thousands of "prisoners", many of which are being held indefinitely without charges or trial. Usually when someone is being held against their will, without reason we call them a hostage. Israel has abducted more Palestinians during the "truce" than they have released. Israel is also seemingly responsible for many of the deaths of Israeli civilians on the 7th of October, including shooting people exiting homes in kibbutzim at the orders of the army.If you want to start sharing graphic, gory, NSFL videos, I have countless videos of Palestinian children without limbs, intact skulls, you name it. No one here is defending Hamas killing civilians. But they difference is that unlike you, we are not defending Israel killing thousands of civilians. The IOF is a terrorist army.
Ah, see it is lawful because Israel says so, therefore it doesn't qualify as terrorism. /s
If it was any other country your argument would be substantive. But we are talking about Israel and Palestine. Anyone who leaves will not be able to return. That's how it's always been. And for the Palestinians, their land is their existence. They will not give it up. They know the second they leave, it's been lost.
All the supporters of Palestine that I know absolutely support the return of any hostages, including myself. However we aren't so one-sided to only demand that of Hamas. We also believe the 5000+ Palestinians held in Israeli prisons and military posts, many of which are illegally held without charges, unable to seek legal advice or see family, some of which are children, ought to be returned as well.
Don't be blind to what is happening. It isn't hard information to find.
Perhaps prejudiced is a more appropriate term. And I agree, I think we ought to avoid such inflammatory statements about an entire nation of people based on the actions of a relatively small few, even when those actions are despicable.
I understand the scrutiny of not meeting agreed upon goals but I think the fact that the US representatives complaining about our spending is laughable. The US and its military industrial complex is far more problematic than Canada missing its NATO spending goals. The host of social issues plaguing our southern neighbors while spending such massive amounts of money destroying countries, changing regimes and fighting proxy wars, making American companies immense amounts of profit should be what is criticized in my opinion.
I was so repulsed by that AMA, what a joke. It really solidified my decision to look elsewhere. Reddit just is not Reddit anymore. Gone is that entity that lives on only in my memories. As with many things past, present and future, money tends to ruin it all for us.
Without a doubt.
