    What’s happening in Gaza now has been happening a long time, as President Carter said people weren’t demanding change or horrified in general because ‘‘they don’t know, they don’t want to know’’. The passive approval has been there a long long time. Biden may actually respond to pressure, Trump will be directed by his evangelical base to stoke all out unilateral war, and he’ll approve it.

    Nothing here is simple, Biden doesn’t control Isreal, and neither will Trump or anyone else, Trump used ‘Palestinian’ as a slur, an insult. He also expressed his stance against Biden as Biden not aiding Isreal MORE. Who do you think is going to effect change in the direction of ending the genocide?

    If you’re against the genocide, why in the world would you let the very pro genocide candidate win?

      He can absolutely stop giving them half their ammunition and ordnance. Seems like a lot less Palestinians would die in that case.

        Yes. He could. If he said that’s the deal tomorrow, I would accept that within the realm of possibility. Trump would never do that. Ever. He’s pro genocide. 100%. Who’s a better choice?

          Any number of people after that debate. But he wanted to talk about “doing the right thing” on that ABC interview. While he’s materially supporting war crimes. In the original definition of material support even. So yeah, any reasonably high profile democrat with a pulse at this point.
