Uh... Biden has been going above and beyond what's "required" for Israel. Even if we assume he can't change his geopolitical strategy because of actual genocide, he's been going so far as to bypass congress to give Israel weapons. People were found guilty for less at the Numenberg trials.

The Houthis have been ridiculous about their justifications for attacks, but where was this ship headed? It doesn't say in the article.

I see what you're saying, but let's not put ISIS and the Taliban on the same level. The Taliban are bad, but ISIS is like a Muslim Wehrmacht. There's a reason so many Muslim (and Middle Eastern) refugees are Iraqi and Syrian.

No no, man. Hamas is morally grey. ISIS is just bad. Like "gets declared kaffir by other Muslims" bad.

If Hamas is the IRA during the troubles, ISIS is the Wehrmacht.

Yeah the fact that the state can just remove citizenship is very questionable but literally no sane person should have anything to do with ISIS.

Ah, yes, the 2000 deal that was so bad the then-Israeli minister of foreign affairs said he wouldn't accept it if he was in Arafat's place. I could go through all of these one by one, but I think you get the idea.

They do, though. That's been their official stance since 2017.

Extremely brutal wars are one thing. Genocide is another. Islam does value martyrdom and fighting against oppression, but you still need said oppression.

The USA spent twenty years and two trillion dollars trying to build credibility in Afghanistan, and that was all for nothing.

Because they were doing it while supporting a corrupt government and bombing people willy nilly. There's a reason the US is known for bombing weddings.

Uh... Look at the land area inhabited by Palestinians now vs 1967. They're having a Nakba in slow motion.

Oh those poor people must be suffering so much why don’t their billionaire and millionaire leaders who sit their asses in Qatar, Lebanon and Turkey do something for them?

Because Israel controls everything that goes in and out of Gaza and aren't allowing aid?

If anyone is wondering why the casualty numbers seem to be plateauing, remember that Israel has rendered most of Gaza's hospitals inoperable. People are still dying; there's just nobody to count them anymore.

Yes and then Gaza is occupied by Israel for the rest of eternity so Gazans can quietly get tortured, raped and kidnapped (and ethnically cleansed like the West Bank). Very good deal.

I see what you mean about Reagan but he was ironically more of a leftist than Biden is on Palestine/Israel.

The thing is that voting for Biden does nothing but help along the US's slide into fascism. Democrats need to know they can't have their cake and eat it too, and that their good cop bad cop act won't work, before they'll actually do anything. Biden is right of Reagan on a ton of issues (including Israel), so clearly just voting for the lesser evil isn't working.

There has to be a line somewhere after which the status quo can't continue, and genocide is handily past that line.

An Israeli flag might be more appropriate, but it would still be painting ordinary Israeli citizens with too broad of a brush.

Not really since most of them support the "war" in Gaza. These are the same people who have been voting Netanyahu for 20 years. Should've been the Israeli flag.

Does Gaza have police?

Yeah. In normal circumstances anyway.

Biden isn't "not ideal". He's very handily hit rock bottom. I mean Trump wouldn't be better, that's for sure, but Biden has done everything under the sun in the current "war". I see everyone saying Trump would be worse, but like what did Biden leave for Trump to do? Give them weapons? Check. Lie publicly for them (remember the 40 babies)? Check. Dispatch aircraft carriers to protect them from anyone with an ounce of conscience in the region? Check. Trump would be spouting genocidal rhetoric (more than he is anyway), but that's about it.

Edit: Added a question mark.

Yes, it's a war. If Hamas appears Israel shoots them. This includes if they appear to guard aid from looters. Therefore there's nobody to guard aid from looters.

Edit: What I wanna say is: Israel refuses to provide security for Gazans (instead preferring to kidnap and torture them) but doesn't allow to provide it for themselves either.

If you think Hamas could show themselves and shoot at anything in Israeli-occupied Gaza I have a bridge to sell you.

Edit: You clown what's going is that because Israel keeps targeting Gazan police who should be protecting the aid from looting while it's being distributed, the aid is being looted. The aid is being halted because of looting, and Israel keeps shooting the people who should be stopping that.
