      Dems literally distributed tens of millions of lbs of food they delivered on a floating dock they built, via landroutes, and via airdrop. Dems literally withheld large bombs from the out of control Netanyahu admin. Dems consistently held the message of peace and ceasefire in exchange for hostages being returned.

      Netanyahu literally endorsed Trump and Trump’s Pete Hegseth is literally promoting death or exodus of every Palestiniain.

      You care about Palestinians? Volunteer for the DNC.

        Dems literally distributed tens of millions of lbs of food they delivered on a floating dock they built, via landroutes, and via airdrop.

        A floating dock that was operational for a grand total of 20 fucking days, land routes where aid trucks never reached their destination, and airdrops that all the experienced aid agencies referred to as a “grotesque distraction,” said “could never deliver the volume or the quality,” and are “expensive, inefficient, and can even kill starving civilians.”

        Dems literally withheld large bombs from the out of control Netanyahu admin.

        I’m certain the Palestinians are very grateful to have been killed with many smaller bombs rather than a few very big bombs. What a world of difference it makes.

        Dems consistently held the message of peace and ceasefire in exchange for hostages being returned.

        All while Israel refused to negotiate for the hostages’ return, even going so far as to kill the Palestinian negotiators, and always being the one to break ceasefires.

        Performative, ineffective, insulting “attempts” at delivering aid when Biden could have ended the genocide with a single fucking phonecall by conditioning defense spending to Israel on opening a humanitarian corridor and threatening sanctions if Israel continues violating international law. And I know for a fact that he could have done so because RONALD FUCKING REAGAN DID EXACTLY THAT in August 1982 when Israeli forces advanced beyond southern Lebanon and began shelling the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) in Beirut. You cannot call yourself a leftist or even a liberal when you’re getting outclassed by Ronald Reagan.

          I don’t think what Biden did was good enough. If it were me I wouldn’t have stopped at your suggestion, I’d have sent in the US military and deposed Netanyahu personally citing Israel’s own laws, international criminal justice, and defense of an ally nation under duress.

          But unlike you I don’t make that an excuse to justify the starvation of hundreds of thousands.

            How, in all of the interactions I’ve had with you, have I ever given the impression that I’m justifying Israel’s genocide against the Palestinians? I’ve been ruthlessly criticizing Biden and the Democratic party’s complicity in the genocide and I agree that he should have gone as far as to depose Netanyahu by force if it came to it. I only mentioned conditioning defense spending and sanctions because that’s all it would have taken, and the most that could be reasonably expected of a neoliberal ghoul like Biden.

            And I don’t know what you’re trying to communicate with that chart. Perhaps you’re trying to use the fact that Trump is far worse as some sort of gotcha, as if I don’t already know that.

              Uh, because you fight for the opposition, intensely waving and shouting that the lesser evil is just as bad?

                I have explicitly stated otherwise, but no matter how many times I say it I’ll still be accused of equivocating the Democratic and Republican parties. Any criticism of Democrats for you centrist types is interpreted as support for the opposition.

              There is no higher level of justifying genocide than ignoring what Trump is doing and deflecting blame onto their only opposition.
