Biden's position on Israel/Gaza isn't good, but it's entirely expected. Israel is the only real US ally in the Middle East, which means the US is going to side with Israel pretty much regardless of what Israel does for strategic reasons if nothing else. The odds we'd do anything more severe than asking nicely if they'd maybe tone it down a bit while still giving them everything they want is functionally zero.
And that's not really going to change regardless of who is president.
so genocide doesn't matter in the face of losing their tight grip hegemony over the middle east. isn't good is a bit of an understatement. i dont think this is a fair justification for what the us does around the world.
It's not, but it's also not something you're going to change by voting for Biden, Trump, some candidate with no chance of winning or no one at all. Because every road leads to the US continuing to support Israel.
exactly what i mean.
