He doesn’t realize that US military funding of Israel has been paused many times - including by Biden - as a lever to try to force change. That funding is the leverage we have over Israel. Fully halting it eliminates that leverage, and then what?
If only there was an international body charged with prosecuting international crimes, and if there was such a body, thank God it’s Biden in the white house and not Trump, who would surely obstruct bringing justice and pressure to the Isreali leaders conducting the war crimes.
If only it was domestically illegal to send weapons to foreign nations who were found to be using them to commit war crimes, that way at least Israel would know our hands were tied if they keep committing them
If only there was an international coalition of nations that could sanction Israel for committing war crimes. I’m sure if there was we would certainly not obstruct justice being brought there
If only the US had a functional military, so they could use it as a last resort to put an end to a literal fucking genocide.
What a sad reality we live in.
I’ve also said that the people who bark about this, only ever criticising Biden and Democrats, are either foreign propagandists or wholly taken by them. I stand by that statement.
Do you think Trump would relent if I was yelling at him to stop the genocide Biden was supporting?
Do you think republicans would listen to moralistic appeals to stopping genocide?
Are there even any full-throated republicans on lemmy?
This ‘why aren’t you complaining about republicans?!’ bullshit is a transparent deflection of responsibility from the people who are actively involved in the genocide. And I stand by that statement.

I’m just going to leave this link here for you… Hopefully you’ll have the good sense to delete this comment once you see how incredibly wrong you are. Biden is doing - TODAY - the thing you were afraid Trump might possibly do next year.

No, I do not. We should do everything we can to get him elected, so he can also not listen to you from the Oval Office!
Do you feel the same way about campaigning for Biden?
I admire your level of political nihilism.
Single-issue voters have always left the barn door open for all manner of fuckery to be undertaken.
One-day-every-four-years democrats have always left the barn door open for all manner of fuckery to be undertaken, too.

The problem here is how you’re putting words in my mouth that I never said.
Oh i’m sorry, I thought you were putting words in my mouth.
My mistake.

Biden administration signals it will support push to hit ICC with sanctions
Not for nothing but that was exactly what I was referring to
