    Biden is supporting Netanyahu’s genocide. Should he continue because gaslighting the poor hasn’t worked?

      He isn’t supporting genocide, he’s supporting Israel, just like every other President since the start, and Bibi is misaporopriating that support.

      You wouldn’t say Reagan or Clinton supported war crimes when Israel illegally attacked Lebanon during their administrations. Same deal here.

        He isn’t supporting genocide

        He’s selling them weapons that he knows will be used for genocide, with no strings attached. He’s running interference for Netanyahu at the UN.

        That looks like support from where I’m sitting.

        just like every other President since the start, and Bibi is misaporopriating that support.

        “That’s the way we’ve always done it” is a lousy justification, since the way we’ve always done it got us here, with the US selling weapons for genocide.

        You wouldn’t say Reagan or Clinton supported war crimes when Israel illegally attacked Lebanon during their administrations. Same deal here.

        Didn’t Reagan threaten to withhold weapons when Israel illegally attacked Lebanon?

        In any event, the article’s about protests from a generation that weren’t even alive for Reagan and were children during Clinton’s administration.
