BoTh SiDeS!!1!
One small good deed doesn't not redeem that little fucker from genocide support.
Which democrat or republican with significant support from the political parties would you recommend as a replacement?
I don't know, it's YOUR country, YOU figure it out!
Weird, this doesn't sound like a thread you should be in then.
All major political parties and private organizations seem to be solidly on the side of supporting israel despite the atrocity. Only students and activitists outside the halls of power are very vocal about it. Normal people seem to think the gaza strip invasion is horrible but we have no more say on what the politicians and wealthy do than a foreigner does.
Since you're a foreigner i'll assume you are ignorant about this, but the US President effectively has no say on aid or penalties for foreign parties. Only the members of senate and congress can vote on bills funding the war effort... or removing said funding.
As if Trump didn't support genocide. Netanyahu and Trump are both fascists.

What would it cost him to cancel the genocide too, right?
As if he's the president of Israel. Where have you people been while Yemen, Myanmar, Sudan, etc. all experience genocide?
Don't forget about the Uyghurs who have been living in fear China will harvest their organs.
The shitty part - there is a lot of this happening and it's quite exhausting. Like when does the fire-bombing start?
Did we supply those countries with weapons to commit genocide?
I personally think it’s stupid to not vote for Biden but your argument doesn’t really make sense.
Yes, the USA literally sent weapons to the Saudis to bomb Yemen,
Also if you don't supply weapons to a country, they shouldn't have sympathy??? You are the one who doesn't make sense
No, but if the USA doesn't supply weapons there's nothing the citizens of the US can do about it. This is an issue they can actually affect by pressuring the US President.
Also, good point on Yemen. Hopefully this is helping people realize how many places around the world the US is causing pain and suffering for.
He’s president of US and has circumvented Congress over 100 times to send 10s of billions worth of bombs to be dropped on Palestinian children’s heads.
We’re not asking that Biden rule over Israel, simply that he acknowledge the genocide and stop spending our taxpayer dollars to fund it. Why is this considered unreasonable?
Where exactly do you think the funding for Israel came from if not from Congress? And since you apparently haven't been paying attention, Biden did stop the delivery of offensive weapons to Israel. In return, Republicans have been pushing a bill that will force delivery.
I swear you tankies are just as intellectually dishonest as the fascists.
Now explain the same administration moving forward other weapon sales even after the "delay of weapons", stopping the UN from condemning or doing anything about Israel through vetoing resolutions against them, and him and his secretary of state (appointed by him) threatening the ICC, and the world, for wanting to arrest Netanyahu.
You're right. That's another reason not to support Butcher Biden:
I honestly care about high income inequality and campaign finance reform. Can we talk about those instead of what you care about?
No, this is actually a really effective way of communicating with other people and convincing them what I have to say is worth listening to. This absolutely does not alienate people or make me come off as an insensitive bot that doesn't know hot treat people like humans before I unload my personal interests on them
Free Palestine, btw! 🍉
I think we could benefit from some off-topic comment enforcement by the mods. Or just downvoting and not rising to the bait, but we all know that's not going to happen. The Palestine conversation is completely unrelated to debt cancellation. The "both sides" is itself also just trolling for an off-topic fight.
We made it in one reply. Perfect.
I man the comment they were replying to was obviously baiting for a fight.
Obviously.
