      Israel: Hi, we’re bombing hospitals, schools, ambulances, refugee camps, and areas we forced innocent people into. Help pay for it?

      Biden: Oh hell yes.

        Complete mischaracterization of the truth. Hey! Finally something conservatives and Lemmy users can bond over!

          What exactly was wrong with that post? Is the US not providing military aid to Israel? Did ambulances and refugee camps not get bombed?

    Joe biden has claimed this more or less himself, saying he’s a Zionist at heart, though his actions have started to be a little bit more moderate on the issue of Palestinian genocide.

    She’s gone over the top many times before, including when she ridiculed Hillary Clinton before the 2016 election. It’s understandable she’d be upset with what’s going on. But she needs to act like a leader, and this really isn’t it.

      Where you been boo?! You think that the only Palestinian in congress, speaking for the plight of the people in Gaza (regardless of your opinion) shows a lack of leadership? It sounds like you want her to be more of a follower? Please tell me, what should she say? Because obviously she has to say something?

          I mean, we show up in the same places, but it’s incidental. Does your neighborhood have stalkers where you’re at? Like is that a thing? We talking voyeurs?

      I mean she’s not wrong. Bidens current stance of “support and ask questions later” is very much tantamount to supporting genocide. In the current situation the least you’d expect of the American president is to leave Israel to fend for itself, not send them aircraft carriers and military aid. For comparison in the 1980s Reagan (yes, Reagan) called the Israeli PM and basically ordered him to stop the bombing of West Beirut immediately. The bombing stopped in 20 minutes.

        Sure, Biden is wrong to stop a regional war. You want KIA numbers? That’s certainly the way to get them.

          Well if they don’t want KIA numbers they should stop genociding Palestinians. He offers way too much while demanding way too little.

          Then why not say Hamas? This isn’t an article about the Hamas genocide, it’s about the Palestinian one. Context is key here and you say racist shit all the time. It’s not a whoopsie when there’s a pattern for a person who has specifically been banned in the modlog less than three days ago as:

          Banned spyd3r from the community Washington, DC@dmv.social
          reason: account appears to be primarily used to bait/troll

          You’re a racist troll, we all get it, just own it you coward. Or are you gonna tuck and run now that it’s all out in the open to discuss?

        When did they refer to all Palestinians as terrorist?

        Tlaib supports a Palestinian one state model with the total elimination of the State of Israel.

          What other “terrorists” do you think they are referring to in this context?

          I mean a one-state solution is very much a viable solution to the conflict. It’s just that Israel wants their Jewish majority.
