US Vice President Kamala Harris said the US has not made any decision to halt or condition military aid to Israel, despite expressing concern over Israel’s invasion of Rafah, which...
Israel is going to cost Biden this election. To resurrect a conspiracy theory from the 70s, it’s at least plausible that the GOP are pushing a foreign power to drag out a situation that’s put the incumbent into a no-win situation.
No matter now whether he stays the course or denounces Netanyahu, too many voters that he desperately needs will either sit this one out or vote third party.
i fucking hate this. i’ve not so lucidly clicked the idea together before that world leaders would and have prolonged conflict, suffering and death abroad for meager and ephemeral political points back home. what a disaster we are as a species.
Consisparcy theroy is honestly a meaningless term these days. Like legitimate historical facts are grouped in with deranged rants. But with so much misinformation, propaganda and biased reporting its understandable. I don’t really have a point or suggestion, just lamenting how it can mean everything or nothing.
I fear you’re right. There is, of course, a loophole: He can condemn Netanyahu but not condemn Israel. Whether he’ll take it will be determined by how desperate his handlers get for votes from literally every decent person who’s not drunk the ADL’s koolaid.
Once again, it has to be said that Trump is much worse. Anyone who single-issue votes purely on Gaza is an idiot and part of the problem with this country.
Maybe I am an idiot who thinks that democracy means that the government represents the people. If the 2 historical gangs no longer represent the people then vote for another party or entity that does.
Why are you afraid of trying what democracy meant to be?

That’s not a conspiracy theory.

He’ll literally never condem Israel’s actions.
Biden has spent literally half a century saying that nothing Israel ever does would make him support them less.
And he’s not changing something like that at 81 years old

That wasn’t just a theory. Nixon absolutely torpedoed the peace negotiations.
why do you think they are making the vicepresidente say these things? They want to detach Biden as much as possible

People withholding their vote from a bad candidate. Yeah…THAT’S the problem with the US😂.
I mean, if there were a single issue to decide a vote, seems like entheusiastic genocide support would be high up there. But what do I know…

So we can save US democracy, but we have to sacrifice the Palestinians to do it?
I reject that premise. There must be another way.
BTW, disagreeing with you does not make one an “idiot” nor “part of the problem.”
