Avoid the liberal tendency to blame a single "bad guy" for systemic failures. Israel was doing genocide long before Netanyahu was in charge. (hexbear.net)

You could get rid of both Biden and Trump, whoever replaced them would be beholden to the same imperial corporate interests and be just as vile with their policies.

You could do Putin or Zelenskyy in, and another capitalist oligarch would just take their places.

If Netanyahu disappeared tomorrow, Israel has plenty of genocidal politicians ready to fill his boots.

The real world isn't a Marvel movie, there is no single "ultimate bad guy" to rally against. The entire systems of these places need to be overcome.

i think this falls off a little in that biden is especially and personally zionist. we're not going to have a pro-palestinian president over here but we could've had one who didn't illegally send weapons to israel as Biden did. We have previously had presidents who told them to ease off the genocide, including Ronald Reagan lol.
