      Nope, they lost because they blindly support the billionaires over everyday people. Israel is a tiny symptom of the real problem, which is the concentration of wealth.

    He’s at the end of his career, doesn’t need the money to fight the zionists propaganda, so that means he actually believes this.

    OR like I suspected before, Israel houses A LOT of secret US intelligence and defense capabilities

    He welcomes Trump with open arms, and acts like a lame duck. But can still get fired up to defend war criminals and try to stop Bernie’s move to block arms shipments. I don’t even know what to say.

    “Were there not an Israel, the United States would have to invent an Israel to protect her interests in the region.”

    Joe Biden

    Israel is good for 2 things, as far as 60% of Congress is concerned: destabilizing Muslim countries to prevent a strong coalition from forming, and donating money to US politicians. What’s a little genocide in the face of that?

      That’s far too generous. At the very most, 10% of congress is on the right side of history when it comes to America’s favorite fascist apartheid regime.

      The public in general is closer to 65-35 the opposite direction.

        That may be true, but only 60% of congress is receiving Israeli bribes. Hence the number I chose.

          Again, overly generous. Almost all of them are either receiving bribes from them or running against someone who is in both primary and general elections. 60% is hella optimistic.

            It’s hyperbolic, actually. According to opensecrets.org, the actual number is only 52.5%. Of course, I’m sure that there’s some back-room deals that aren’t recorded publicly, and so the number is higher than that. 60% seems like a good, round, umbrella-like figure.

      Biden is a devout catholic, meaning he believes Isreal must be the home for all jews for the rapture to happen. Not enough people are talking about this. Even the most “normal” religious people are nut jobs that shouldn’t be in power.

            Because he’s a true believer who’s drunk the Zionism kool-aid.

            Plus it probably helps that he’s received more money from AIPAC throughout his political career than his current net worth.

            Because it’s self serving.

            If Bibi is a war criminal for leveraging an admittedly horrible terrorist attack to commit horrendous atrocities, so is Joe Biden.

            What the US did in the 2 decades post 9/11 is no better or worse than what Israel is doing now. Accountability for one means accountability for the other, and Biden doesn’t want to be held accountable.

      As well they fucking should. Trump isn’t going to be any better for the Palestinian people than Biden and Harris. He is, in fact, going to be far worse for them. Also, he’s a traitor, a serial rapist, a misogynist, a pedophile, a grifter, and an imbecile. The American voting population either liked what they saw, or didn’t care enough to vote against him. Fuck every single one of those assholes right in the face.

          Well, this is a bit of a good news, bad news situation for you. Good news: Americans are now about to reap the consequences of their idiotic decision. Bad news: Palestinians are going to be fucked harder than they are currently.

        So what is Donny going to do worse? Complete the genocide faster?

        Because Biden, Harris and the DNC have made it abundantly clear that they support the genocide and total annihilation of all Palestinians and to erase any last bit of Palestine from the Maps. They just wanted it to happen at a pace that allows to pretend not being white supremacist mass murderers to continue getting the votes of the minorities in the US.

        The Dems need to be punished over this until they remove the genocidal white supremacists from their ranks.

        That is the only way to create a political momentum to get a non genocidal political option in the US

                I’m not American, so our perspectives will always be different. From where the rest of the world is sitting, Americans have never given a tin shit about natural justice or respect for another country’s autonomy. You guys have been in the coup business for over a hundred years. How many governments have been overthrown because they weren’t compliant enough, not friendly enough to your corporate interests or simply standing in the way of your geopolitical ambitions? Pacific islands blown apart or outright stolen, dark money handed to murderous dictators, killer regimes installed and resources sucked away. Spare me the rationalism about one particular brand of domestic American politics being slightly less worse than the other. If your country is balls deep in the misery of what’s going on in Palestine already, there won’t be too many left to murder when Trump takes office in January.

                Coke or Pepsi, feller.
