If Bibi torpedoes this latest hostage deal, then shipments should definitely be curtailed.
Suuuure.
And if you're good all year Santa will bring you a present.
Biden is just worried how funding a genocide and all the other horrible shit will cost him the election.
But that's still not enough for him to actually cut support to Israel, not even for the next 7 months till the election
Look for a lot of "strong words" like this leading up to the election.
Regardless of if Biden wins or loses, we're gonna be stuck funding a genocide.
He also seems worried failing to find a genocide will cost him the election.
How about stopping support for Israel and then screaming "vote blue no matter who" whenever someone gets angry about it. That's a good way to win votes right?
Weren't you a rabid zionist like 2 weeks ago?
Ikr? It's actually weird seeing the sudden transition.
Never been a Bibi fan. Neither do I buy Hamas BS
Glad you can take a somewhat nuanced position.
He should but don't get your hopes up. Biden is a true believer. True believers don't up and stop true believing one day, someone or something has to make them stop. Who's stopping the president of the united states?
Do you have any particular reason for believing that?
I've never gotten the impression that Biden is a true believer of much of anything, except maybe that riding Amtrak is nice. And you're literally posting this on an article reporting on how in backrooms out of view of the press, the rhetoric is very different than the public support.
I have a few examples, but how else do you explain his pro Zionist stances that are to the right of any POTUS in history.
"If there were not an Israel the US would have to invent an Israel" -Biden. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=86Nrv5izaTs
Report claiming Obama thought Vice President Biden undercut his position with the Israeli in 2014. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXNOpDi9_l4
NYT article on his unwaivering support. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/28/us/politics/biden-israel-netanyahu-gaza.html
They should be stopped until Israel lets unlimited aid through; allows evacuation through it's lines; and goes one week without shooting someone with a white flag, on camera.
Or they could just leave Gaza and stop the blockade.
