Joe Biden 30+ years ago: We must support Israel to defend our interests in the ME.

Joe Biden in 2023: We must support Israel to defend our interests in the ME.

Liberals: "but context!!!"

What has changed since then? I'd understand your point completely if Biden was no longer supporting genocide of Palestinians.

When someone is being consistent with something they said years ago, it adds nothing to say, "but context".

If I posted about how Biden supported racially segregated busing, and was against gay marriage, then you might have a point in claiming context, since the democratic party has opportunistically changed its mind on those.

Would you agree that actions speak louder than words? His material support for Palestinian genocide has increased drastically from when he said this quote.

How is it irrelevant? His support for Israel has only gotten stronger, the number went up from $3B, to $14B in weaponry to Israel.

Sure, here's the video of him saying this.

Tldw:

I imagine a lot of people at the UN are having a "can't fight city hall" moment right now: seeing Palestinian genocide take place, but being powerless to do anything about it, and feeling the guilt and complicity involved with the UN refusing to go against the US's wishes.

Also the DRPK:

“All I know is that the Hague hates it when you tape a Ziploc bag of anthrax to a chimp and set it loose in Syria.”

How is the onion able to get away with these lol.

For those who haven't seen it yet, here's a short video on the history of the conflict:

How Palestine Became Colonized

We believe that the koopas are the real enemies of Marxism.

Sorry, I interpreted your first comment for some reason as saying that Kira did not target civilians and blow stuff up, and so she wouldn't be considered a terrorist by today's standards. Yes I 100% agree she would, and she would be demonized as much as the Palestinian resistance is today.

I can't tell from this comment, but yes, I'm doing a rewatch rn, and Kira very much admits that she killed non-combatant cardassians during the occupation, and much of the first season is her anger at what the cardassians forced them to do.

Pretty sad how effective western xenophobic propaganda is. Even though they're a little slow, they did manage to turn 30% sinophobia to 70% in only a decade.

Let's see if this sets off the western supremacy detector.

"Canadian military jet intercepts Chinese air force plane off Canada's borders 'in an aggressive manner'"

Western media are experts at lying to manufacture consent for wars and xenophobia against all their enemies too. As we've seen over the last week, they're all to ready to accept it without questioning.

The nariyah testimony, gulf of tonkin, colin powell holding up the fake proof of iraq's "wmds", and so many more that pro-US ppl are not yet ready to come to terms with, or question their own biases.

The onion's writers are far more honest and brave than the majority of western media outlets too.

Mandatory watching for those interested in the history of the conflict: How Palestine became colonized.

Your current president literally raped a woman in 1993. Her name is Tara Reade.

Also, after winning the Nobel peace prize, Obama dropped an average of 30k bombs / year (80 per day) during his presidency, mostly on Muslim countries, 2, 3. In 2016 alone, dropped 26,171 bombs in the Middle East and North Africa, up 3000 from the previous year. The countries bombed include Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Libya, and Somalia.

I'd consider any of Zak Cope's work, especially divided world, divided class, as some of the best modern works addressing labor aristocracy / socialized bribery theory and neocolonialism in the modern era.

Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz also has great stuff, an indigenous peoples history, and loaded are excellent expose's of the US settler garrison.
