Biden is SO CRITICAL of Israel that he's ready to send them BILLIONS more dollars without Congressional Approval! THAT will teach Israel to STOP!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Technically he sold them weapons previously, not given them billions, although in the voted down bipartisan border bill the concession of billions given are for Israel AND Palestine humanitarian aid.

He's still a piece of shit, but nuance matters imo.

Yeha, he's just making sure he wins the next elections. He knows this is one of the reasons why people won't vote for him. The fact he is keeping it this tame just shows he really doesn't want to affect his relations with Israel. So, after he wins, everything will stay the same way.

I’m guessing you’re his biographer? Maybe his therapist? Are you him?

Gotta be one of the three to know so much about what his intentions are.

Not really. The war in Gaza is unpopular among the population, but there is pressure for him to send aid to Israel. There are not many ways to slime that one out and have a chance to win the upcoming election. Speak loudly what the masses want to hear, do what he needs to appease the more powerful people who can screw him over.

He's a politician after all, his priority is to maintain power at home, not to stop the war in Gaza.

He’s an American president: Gaza is not, not should be- his priority. America is not the world police. And the sooner people realize this/ the better we’ll all be from it.

Exactly, so he should quit sending kajillions of dollars to help them kill children and covering their ass in the UN security council every time they start slaughtering Palestinians again.

It's a pretty obvious polical move given what we can see.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 9 months ago

No, it isn’t. It’s just easy to jump to that conclusion when you start there and work your way back.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 9 months ago

Just connect the dots, I believe in you.
