    noun: good faith

    honesty or sincerity of intention.

    “the details contained in this brochure have been published in good faith”

    Biden believes, legitimately believes, Israel has the right to defend itself and provided honest and sincere support with that intent.

    That is NOT the same as actively engaging in genocide.

      Biden believes, legitimately believes, Israel has the right to defend itself and provided honest and sincere support with that intent.

      That’s all well and good, but when he knows that they’re being used for genocide and STILL sends them, his stated intent doesn’t matter since he KNOWS that it’s not going to be fulfilled.

      To go back to your own analogy about lunch/drug money:

      If you give a guy $20 a day for lunch every day and every day you see him spending that money on drugs, how long can you keep watching the originally unintended consequence of your generosity before putting two and two together and realizing that what you’re doing is paying for drugs, no matter how much either of you pretends that you’re just giving him lunch money?
