Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
- All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Its illegal to send weapons or money to a country that is committing genocide. Biden could have simply said he cannot legally support Israel in any way and then just not. Instead Biden chose to lie for Israel aboiut 40 beheaded babies and provide unlimited diplomatic support, going so far as to bomb Yemen for resisting.
Democratic leadership knew this would decrease turnout, they prioritized unlimited support for Israel over winning the election.
Ok then if you're right why was Netanyahu mad at Biden? Why did he want Trump to win? Because there's no such thing as unlimited support and then wanting to remove the person you're getting unlimited support from
Because Biden's base was less pro-genocide, so no matter what Biden himself did, strategically the republicans would always be a safer bet.
There was no level of support the dems could offer that would have caused Netanyahu to support them over the republicans.
Do you understand that a lot of politics is theater? You have to watch what people actually do, not what they pretend.
Ok so then why are you refusing to look at what people actually did?
Edit: Trump has been pushing for ethnic cleansing so he could have waterfront casinos and you guys love him
You're all a bunch of traitors
I think because your definition of "what people actually did" and mine differs a lot. Either that or we are talking past each other.
Yeah, your crowd decided to help Republicans guarantee more people got killed and tortured.
But you're pretending you have no responsibility for the consequences of your actions because you're such an ideologically pure idealist
Who gives a fuck! You ghouls care more about your fucking parasocial kayfabe character drama than the lives of millions of people
You call it kayfabe and call me a ghoul and then you're choosing to help Republicans hurt billions
That makes you a monster
Edit: you saw what project 2025 would do and decided to help people like Musk, Miller, Bannon and Trump, so that they could escalate the suffering, because YOU WANTED IT, because you prefer seeing people die if it means USA loses status, you'll rather see people martyred then fed by aid from a source you find offensive
Lol. At least try to be consistent
I am consistent in calling you out for selectively doing whatever helps Republicans
Then where's the real fucking reality grounded criticism, because when you're lying you're actually helping the enemy
Cool. What’s the source, please?
Also, does it work when we’re the one doing it? And is it strictly genocide or is it general war criming.
Here's a list of domestic laws that were violated, to say nothing of international law:
