You can tell the press is broken when he isn't permanently called a "Genocide Enthusiast" or something similar by the press for as long as he lives.
I love all the comments like "Biden isn't being tough enough on Israel! Biden isn't stopping the genocide!"
Besides the fact that people are asking Biden to do something that directly hurts US foreign policy interests.....
Do they REALLY think that the Republican party is on the side of stopping brown people dying? Biden in office is probably the most gentle response Palestine is going to get for 10/7. Republicans are frothing at the mouth to boost JDAM and Paveway kit sales.

Why would enabling the genocide of Palestinians benefit US foreign policy?
Also, isn't our current beef with Yemen and the 96% drop off in Suez traffic a direct result of Israel's War in Gaza? Isn't keeping the Suez open to traffic pursuant to US foreign policy?

I think that America is a Fascist Nation enabling the will of some of the most deranged and brutal regimes in human history. Between the Israelis, the Saudis, the Indian Hinduvistas, and the Duterte/Marcos cartel in the Philippians, we've got - bare minimum - four Fascist regional governments that we are falling over ourselves to help perpetuate atrocities of nightmarish proportions.
Republicans and Democrats seem to be in alignment in supporting all of these horrifying campaigns of mass slaughter. If this is the future of American politics, our government deserves to fail and I pray that our failed state is wiped from the face of the Earth.
The US does not negotiate with terrorists. The US is not going to abandon it's interests just because some anti-semitic people don't like the US supporting Israel. It is directly contrary to the US foreign policy interests because it signals that the US is willing to abandon allies in the face of attack. Imagine if the US had withdrawn support from Israel after 9/11, an attack which was specifically in retaliation for US support of Israel.
The US does not negotiate with terrorists.
Government Negotiations with Terrorists: US Edition
Also:
Negotiating with Terrorists, from the Journal of Police Negotiation, 2001
There is no evidence that hard-line policies reduce terrorism or even discourage political extremists. It is a given that negotiation with both types of political extremist should be undertaken, with terrorists requiring very special handling. Examples of two scenarios of airplane hijackings are given with the advice that the terrorist will be a catalyst for tragedy if a misstep is made in negotiations. This article does not present solutions, but raises awareness of the difficulties involved and the need for help, even in the realm of the exotic, along with qualified special consultants being sought to offer advice.
Turns out yes, things can get much worse for Palestinians if Republicans win in November.
I'm not from America. I only know Trump and Biden. Are republicans trump side?
Yes
Things can get much better for palestinians if nobody votes for red or blue
