Biden plans to send $1bn arms shipment to Israel
Biden plans to send $1bn arms shipment to Israel
The weapons transfer comes as Israeli tanks were spotted advancing deeper into residential areas of Rafah.
Fuck Trump, fuck Biden, and fuck Netanyahu. And while we're at it, fuck Putin and fuck Xi. Not a lot of decent people at the top these days.
The lesser of two evils, ladies and gents.
Don't you know Trump is gonna genocide harder? Some shitlib told me yesterday trump will conduct a real genocide, as if the one happening in front of our eyes is fake
Are you talking about the Trump that won't quit talking about how antisemitic Biden has been in the Gaza genocide?

Imagine seeing someone yell at a rapist in the middle of raping that they aren't raping viciously enough and then thinking that it would be good to send that guy in there instead. I agree, no rape would be best, but I'm pretty sure the victim in this case would prefer the current rapist over the one complaining about how the current rapist is being offensively gentle.
Genocide, whaddaya gunna do. Your tax dollars at work.
Trump would have sent $2 billion, just sayin’ /s
He would've sent everything meant for Ukraine to Israel, and more.
Yeah well uh, Trump would've sent 1.2bn
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s most upvoted posts on Reddit and Lemmy teaching us how the other clowns from the rival circus are still worse. While condemning the killings of children in Gaza with those weapons sold today.
It’s impossible there was ever a society this manipulated and stupid.
Don't they have a point though? Your system is broken and the lesser of two evils is all you ever get to pick.
No, it's actually not true. First-past-the-post voting mathematically tends to result in 2 dominant parties, but there's no mathematical rule that determines which 2 parties. The first two in American history were the Federalist Party, and the Democratic Republican Party. The duopoly has changed several times over the years, and it could change again if we wanted it. Democratic voters have affirmatively made the choice that supporting genocide is better (read: easier) than trying to shake things up.
FFS. Biden is a complete cunt. Trump GOP is still worse
We can do it. We can make him dumber than he was. Dumber, weaker, slower.
The package can be blocked by Congress if a majority in both chambers object.
Reminder that Biden has already went around Congress this year to send weapons to Israel.
Checks and balances only matter when it can be used to stop things voters want for some reason.
I doubt the Congress that's taken multi millions in AIPAC money will vote against it.
In fact, the GOP Congress was going to push Biden to send this stuff if he didn’t relent: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-gop-pushes-bill-to-force-biden-to-continue-transfer-of-weapons-to-israel/ar-BB1mq29M?ocid=nl_article_link
Biden’s trying to win over some undecided right leaning voters with this whole $1B deal and it’s sickening to his own party.
Why does Biden want innocent people dead and why does nobody try to stop him? What has become of humanity? Has everyone gone insane?
Wot? No more crocodile tears? Fucking hypocritical genocidal cunt
Hes really pulling a Hilary with this shit.
Intentionally throwing away an election he thinks is sure fire win for him, because Trumps the only other option.
The risk isnt people turning to vote for Trump, the risk is people that would have voted for him not voting at all. . Because he'd rather doom a people to extermination than fix his own country.
Damn, Biden doesn’t want to win the election or save democracy
Maybe the Democracy you think is still there to be saved is already gone and all you have left is the folklore of it rather than the real thing.
It would certainly explain Biden's dictatorial persistence on supporting the Zionist Genocide all the way with weapons and ammo even when the majority of Americans has turned against it, his and his party's reaction to student demonstrations and how all of this would make no sense for somebody trying to avoid losing the election to Trump.
I lived in a country with Proportional Vote and what we're seeing from the elected leader of the US would never happen there in an election year, not even close, as the politicians there trully fear electoral defeat.
I disagree, living in such a country. Our self-declared "left wing" was eager to participate in both Iraq and Afghanistan and host CIA black sites on our soil.
There is no democracy in global capitalism. There can only be different shades of authoritarianism.
Headline from two days ago:
‘Total outrage’: White House condemns Israeli settlers’ attack on Gaza aid trucks
My comment on it:
It’s taken them over half a year, but Biden has finally discovered that Israel is committing crimes against humanity. Let’s hope they don’t forget about it the second Netanyahu pretends to be a little bit obedient.
Damn, really speedrunning that disappointment, huh
Lol my comment from last week which got heavily downvoted:
Considering Biden repealed his settler sanctions, I'd actually bet this eventually gets approved after Israel promises to pay shipping fees in exchange for breaking the SLA stating they can't do a genocide
mfw he doubled down and approved another massive sale on top of the smaller blocked shipment.
Because the GOP Congress was about to go around him if he didn’t. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/house-gop-pushes-bill-to-force-biden-to-continue-transfer-of-weapons-to-israel/ar-BB1mq29M?ocid=nl_article_link
Really wish he’d have grown a spine and stuck to not sending them, let the GOP look bad and don’t abandon your own base. I hate this political environment.
Man Biden is really trying to lose the upcoming election isn't he. A year ago I would not have predicted that he would fuck up such an easy reelection this badly, but here we are. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory I guess.
Apparently Biden has always been this shitty when it comes to Palestine. Some things children just never grow out of it seems.
Millions of children never grew old because of Kissingers little psychopathic padawans in Washington for decades now. Those children don’t care about this one losing or winning his little beauty contest.
And millions of children will die in the future no matter whose dick is being sucked in the Oval Office. There are more omnipotent deciders who decide who lives and who dies.
This greedy, bloodthirsty, manipulative, sociopathic voting won’t change anything no matter who wins.
USA: "It's good business"
It was obvious from the start it was political posturing as he had already sent them so much and it wasn't like they immediately needed it. Just like the port to deliver aid, also posturing to look good.
