Netanyahu says Gaza war on Hamas will go on for 'many more months,' thanks U.S. for new weapons sales
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Saturday that Israel's war on Hamas in Gaza will continue for “many more months,” pushing back against persistent international cease-fire calls after mounting civilian deaths, hunger and mass displacement in the besieged enclave.
Which is why it's so absolutely fucked up Biden went around Congress for it, especially since Congress would have approved it anyways.
The fact that Biden is fine doing this in the run up to 2024 and will do shit like this that risks trump winning...
Shows that Biden is the last fucking person we want running against trump.
I don't even think Hillary is stupid enough to do this, and she has the absolute worst instincts regarding elections of any politician in the last 50 years
71Doesn't matter who the president is, Israel is still going to get US (western) support. The alternative is an unwinnable war between Iran and Israel would kill millions of people. The US president cannot change these facts. Israel is going to get a pass here.
7Which is why it’s so absolutely fucked up Biden went around Congress for it, especially since Congress would have approved it anyways.
Which means now, none of the democrats who would have voted for it will have it on their record the next time an election comes around. Biden himself is fairly safe, but many of the Ds could have lost the next time around from that.
3I can see an argument that strong support of Israel will win over traditional conservatives.
3Oh yes, those magical Republicans that will start voting D if we make the democratic party just a little shittier...
Meanwhile 1/3 of eligible voters don't vote, and their most common complaint is "both parties do too much fucked up shit for me to support and don't help normal Americans enough".
Yet for some reason, we won't ever try doing less fucked up shit or helping normal Americans to get their vote...
Anyone ever notice when moderates want to compromise, it's always towards the right?
37Except they're going to vote for a Republican regardless. It's a bullshit argument used to hand waive away a non-Republican's complicity in furthering the genocide.

Biden is choosing support of Israel over the future of the U.S.
1Perhaps Biden will step down before the next election, regardless of what he might be saying now. It does the Dems no good to telegraph that move to the GOP. All they need to do is find someone with a shred of karisma and an ounce of capability for debate and rhetoric, who is obviously not Biden, at least superficially.
Don't worry, I'm sure there's a mess of Nvidia H100s training new presidents as we speak!
-11I'm not voting for joe biden next election.
Shouldn't have even voted for him the previous one.

cool, you’re welcome. not that we wanted to send them to you. not that anyone asked us. or has asked us, ever. it’s amazing all the bloodshed the US has enabled (or in some cases directly perpetrated) in our lifetime, ostensibly for our own benefit. but somehow it was never put up for a vote. hmm.
if we’re sending them anywhere it should be going to Ukraine, all of it. they’re fighting a defensive war and are like the first morally acceptable use of the military industrial complex since… I dunno, ww2?
45I often have to remind myself that I just happen to have been born here and did not actually choose to be an American. Or to be here at all for that matter. I dont know how to go about every day life feeding pets and paying bills and maitaining a good attitude at work (my achilles heel) while also seeing my country as an entity as more and more depraved and disgusting every day. This sucks ass.

Fuck this guy.
33Genocide Joe does it again!
18As if any leading presidential candidates would bat an eye at doing this and/or more. Trump moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, against all advice, and inflamed tensions even more than they were at the time.

I become increasingly certain this fucker arranged this "war" so he wasn't facing a corruption court. He's been moving heaven and earth to change the judicial system in order to avoid it, it's entirely believable he would pull a false-flag operation to achieve the same ends. He knows the minute the fighting stops, he's in a jail cell.
