Biden seeks to "allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles," his request states
The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:
The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:
Yeah, it’s been “hold your nose and vote for the least insane” for a long time now, but more the choice is “the guy who supports genocide” or “the guy who really really supports genocide.”
Fucking two party first post the post bullshit. This is going to get Trump elected when the people who cant bear to vote for genocide stay home or vote third party.
If Israel is your issue, you're going to have to find another differentiator... like how Trump wants to end democracy as we know it and Biden does not.
Yup. It's getting more difficult every election cycle. I'm highly thinking of sitting it out this time. I can't, with a clear conscious, vote for either of these two.
The Democratic National Convention of August, 1968 was in Chicago. It was marked by massive riots, after the April and June assassinations of the Rev Martin Luther King Jr and Democratic POTUS candidate Robert Kennedy, respectively. It was triggered by many issues, including anti-Vietnam War sentiment.
Interestingly, the August, 2024 DNC will be in Chicago. Maybe it’s time for the people of the United States to come together for another “year that breaks America”, and fight for the need to eliminate the DNC/RNC corporate stranglehold and work toward establishing a ranked voting system.
Or we could continue to choose between happy uncle fascist or bloated grifter fascist.
Yup, I'll be voting third party. I gave Biden my vote last election, but he hasn't earned it this coming election. It doesn't really matter though since my state is going to vote R regardless, but at least this way I don't be supporting nonsense.
It's a quote from President Bush you downvoting idgits.
And unfortunately, there is a point.
“Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.”
— Alexander Haig
I have become staunchly anti-Israel since this all started. But let's not pretend the national security ramifications don't exist. The world cannot let jingoistic, religious-nut cavemen like Hammas run rampant.
I don't have answers. This is the most fucked up war I've seen in my 5 decades walking this Earth.
Biden is a good guy, but damn if he isn't stuck in the past. Every decision he makes seems like it would've made sense if it was still 1998. This is something Clinton probably would've done and everyone would've loved him for it, but the world has moved on, and people now understand the situation there is not as black and white as they thought.
Good guys don't support genocide. Good guys don't strip away pandemic protections. Good guys don't allow health insurance to be stripped away from millions of people.
I must admit, I don't get why Biden would go so wholeheartedly pro Israel here. I get that the US has been allies with Israel for decades, and we would probably continue that. But his support goes further, and gets out of balance in terms of public perception of Israel (which does have broad public support), and a clear genocide of Palestinians in Gaza which also has broad public recognition. He probably would have been better to try to thread the needle between the two.
Did you cry genocide when ISIS was being hunted down?
Israel is trying to move civilians out of harm's way so they can get to terrorists hiding in hospitals behind civilians.
Don't get your numbers from a terrorist organization known for lying and inflating numbers. An organization that counts terrorists along with civilians and doesn't wear uniforms allowing identification.
If there are tens of thousands of terrorists being killed that is not genocide.
Don’t get your numbers from a terrorist organization known for lying and inflating numbers.
Basically the whole world uses Gazan numbers, because they're known to be reliable. I won't respond to the rest of your comment because you're disgusting of a human being.
