‘How Many Kids Have You Killed?’ Biden Heckled at Least 10 Times by Pro-Palestine Protestors
‘How Many Kids Have You Killed?’ Biden Heckled at Least 10 Times by Pro-Palestine Protestors
Biden vs Trump should not prevent our pressure against entirely avoidable deaths
“Hey hey LBJ, LBJ! How many kids did you killed today?”
All it takes for Biden is to openly criticize Israel and stop selling them weapons (at least so that we won’t know it’s him) for like two months before everyone forgets. But no. Really shows how deep Israel’s dick is in US’s asshole.
If he says anything against Israel or stops aid, he'll be an "antisemite" and be attacked for that. The Israeli lobby has power and money, and they don't screw around. Plus, the media is dogshit and will never not attack Biden because it's "balanced" news.
Advising from the position of a friend is much more fruitful than advising as an enemy. I think Biden is wasting his time with Bibi. But it is an otherwise sound strategy. The genocide would have continued uninterrupted regardless what Biden did. What he did is definitely not a great look optically though for sure.
I love how POTUS is in charge of israel's military 100%.
Didn't even have to win an election or be Jewish they just listen to his orders and follow precisely as he instructs.
NetanyaWHO?

The US finance Israel with billions of dollars
They have given Israel billions of dollars of military aid in just the last three months
Without the US involved, Israel would not be able to cause this level of destruction
The US has also consistently defended Israel in international court and in front of the UN while doing this
Biden is constantly giving Israel money and support, so it is on him
The US is not leaving this war alone, they are intrinsically psrt of it
what I don't understand is that if that person realizes that trump would send all the money and weapons to israel with no strings attached. he'd do it because he hates brown people and his supporters (who give him what he really wants- undying idolation) hate brown people AND want the commencement of armageddon so their prophet litch returns and he does what they want so they keep loving him.
at least biden is using the soft power he has before he starts using hard power.
Hey Hey LBJ How many kids did you kill today?
Is there any creativity in this generation?
Have politicians acquired the capacity for shame yet?
So don't jump down my throat please but I don't understand this article. I have a couple of question that I would like an actual answer to and haven't seen addressed anywhere else:
"Team America World Police" was a mockable idea back in the 90s and early 2000s because America stuck its nose everywhere - wanted or not.
Now here I see people attacking a president because he will not interfere in something that shouldn't be America's business? As far as I was aware, America leaving other countries the hell alone would be a good thing on the world stage, no? Why not get mad that any sitting president hasn't interfered in the Uyghgur Genocide? Why just this?
Why is this particular conflict that has been ongoing for ages something worth blaming a current president for not interfering in?
The only thing I can really find online in the news are Republicans blaming Biden for the attacks on Israel which doesn't make sense with the response here. What the heck is going on?
I don't have a stance on this, I'm just trying to understand because it doesn't make sense to me so please don't take that as aggressive.
Edit: Downvotes? For trying to figure out an international situation? Man, I don't understand you sometimes, Lemmy. You can be so nonsensically goddamn hostile...
worth blaming a current president for not interfering in?
The US president has 100% say in the amount of money and weapons Israel receives, he can order everything to stop like President Reagan in 1982. His refusal to stop genocide, like Reagan did, makes him complicit in Palestinian deaths and the destruction of their homes, culture, and civilization.
So... (and again, I'm trying to parse the situation, not attacking) Biden has been funding the war specifically and giving Israel weapons? Why? To what end? And please don't say genocide because that's not a tangible reward result for Biden or America. If they are doing the above, what do they get from it?

So...

Why? To what end? And please don't say genocide because that's not a tangible reward result for Biden or America. If they are doing the above, what do they get from it?
The US has been supporting Israel's military since it's inception. Here's a handy graph and historical breakdown.
They are also always the major diplomatic driver towards talks between the Palestinian officials and Israel, historically speaking. The US is very much involved in the conflict.
And since I wasn't very familiar with Axios as a source, here's their Media Bias page.

Understandably, they may have done so after WW2 and the creation of Israel to keep a "friendly" state in the region. That part makes sense.
I’m not in love with Biden, but if you want Trump, just make Biden unpopular before the election.
That is on Biden, he controls the reigns of power. He could give a call to Bibi and say the aid and weapons stop tomorrow unless you pull back and stop carpet bombing refugee camps.
Tell him to move to surgical strikes or nothing. Bulldozing cemeteries and bombing every school and hospital in occupied Gaza is a war crime and genocide.
Here i was thinking that Insulting the intelligence of voters was exclusive to conservatives.
We don’t have to, he is doing that himself
Remember when BLM heckled Bernie during 2015 campaign?
If you think Biden is your problem, wait until orange gets elected.
The difference is that Biden IS the current president and is the one that sidestepped congress to give Israel aid without many strings attached. Yeah, come November, don't choose orange, but that doesn't mean Biden shouldn't face pressure in the meantime.
And then Congress voted overwhelmingly to not attach said strings after the fact. Biden isn't the only problem here.
If anything increase the pressure so they actually feel threatened enough to get some progressive work done.
Problem is that the pressure of today may lead the orange man to win tomorrow.
Completely see your point, but unlike Trump, Biden might actually be movable by protest during an election year.
Granted the White House's position on Israel has already shifted considerably since their lockstep pledge of unity.
How has it shifted
He might be. But this childish hyperbole isn't the way to do it.
And trump would likely be worse. All the conservative dipshits love what Israel is doing right now.
This argument is an insult to all voters.
Unfortunately, it's the game you are living in
I think it was in 2020 when that idiot got up on stage with him.
