'dissolve your democracy' or 'support ethnic cleansing'

Not a great set of choices at the ballots for Americans this election.

He's not going to hold Israel accountable, because he knows the only other person Americans can vote for is trump.

The reason he's starting to pretend to listen is that he's losing in the polls.

Turns out that the electorate has a ridiculously short memory.

Turns out that the "I'm not the other guy" tactic is much less effective for an incumbent than a challenger.

Most shockingly, it turns out that continuing to ignore the rightful moral outrage of as many as half of your potential voters, maybe even more, is an extremely bad idea even if your opponent is objectively many times worse than you.

So yeah, as much as he hates it, he's gonna have to do something different, or at least pretend to, and he knows it.

Biden works for the war machine

No. The best information is that they've been putting a ton of pressure on Netanyahu to back the fuck off, but it hasn't done any good because he's a legitimate asshole and always has been. (Remember, this is the same guy who deliberately embarrassed Obama by accepting a GOP invitation to address Congress without consulting the White House or making an official state visit to the president. He's the scum of the earth and always has been. There's zero question that he's hoping for a Trump win.)

They don't want to go public with demanding restraint or a cease fire because they are afraid it will widen the war by encouraging Iran and its other proxies such as the Houthis and Hezbollah which could further hinder freight traffic through the Red Sea, thus bumping global inflation back up and giving Trump a campaign gift. I think at this point it's a lost cause and they need to cut their losses and tell Israel to knock it the fuck off, but I expect they will continue to drag their feet and work on back channels.

We also know that every time Iran has been met with real force rather than empty threats, they have backed off. Ultimately it would still be a big gamble to openly threaten them, but it's something to think about, especially if you don't fancy another Trump presidency/dictatorship.

Most of what we see on Lemmy is pure amateur hour speculation that has only a very tangential relationship with what's actually happening.

But this is fine because Trump would send them even faster and make the children even more dead. All hail the glorious two party system.

He did say, loud and proud, that he's zionist...

Biden is hawkish on Israel because he remembers a version of Israel that doesn't exist anymore. The stalwart of the Middle East is a shell of itself and it doesn't want the rest of the world finding out. I know his age is a meme at this point but it's worth pointing out here

Been wondering the same. Traditionally the US has supported Israel, no matter what. But fuck me. Biden has thrown all has cards on the table in support of genocide, and I still have to vote for him. What a clusterfuck.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is fighting our arch enemy and we're bickering about whether to send them more arms. Here's our chance to destroy Russia, once and for all, with not a soldier lost, not even a mildly damaged M4 rifle, and gather all the intelligence in the world on modern combat. Finally. And the GOP won't do it. Reagan is spinning in his grave.

That when conspiracy theory come to place. When Biden spoke about victims of hamas attack next day, he was and still emphatic. Yet never spoke about the civilians or kids who died in Gaza. He doesn't sees them.

There are a few options to his actions and looking at all of them they don't make sense. He is not evangelical working towards the kingdom of Isreal to happen. He doesn't need money. He doesn't have relatives living there. Yet he been knowing to be a zainoist since he was a senator.

My conspiracy is that he is blackmailed by Isreal especially when he visited Isreal first time.

Here is a quote about his memory from a few weeks back.

over 50 years ago, as a young senator, I visited Israel for the first time, as a newly elected senator.

"And I had a long, long trip — or meeting with Golda Meir in her office just before the Yom Kippur War. And I guess she could see the consternation on my face as she described what was being faced — they were facing."

To me it is very clear how compromised the us government by Zionist. Senator, presidents, and most of the rich and important companies which ultimately own the media. If it wasn't for social media we wouldn't know much about the suffering that children is going through nor their cries.

It ain't exactly bliss but it ain't this either

Given what transpires about the US on the international news scene, I'm not sure putting that to a democratic vote would yield the result you expect, sadly.
