I wish the Biden administration didn’t make possible Netanyahu’s genocidal actions.

Me too, but in politics, nothing is black and white. Harris might have responded to the continued pressure, where the tRump regime couldn't care less about genocide. Harris would have pressured Israel to stop bombing, rather than encourage the continued genocide. She supported a 2-state solution...
Netanyahu is a criminal, but Hamas isn't squeaky clean, either. Liberals were hoodwinked into cheering on Hamas. Meanwhile, before the attack, Palestinians were NOT supportive of Hamas. "The results also revealed a very low level of support among Palestinians news.stanford.edu/stories/2023...
Liberals were not cheering on Hamas. Nice right-wing framing.
Well, maybe I was taken in by right-wing propaganda. "Ellie Gomersall, the president of the National Union of Students in Scotland, apologized for reposting content justifying Hamas’s actions." "In the fevered world of social media, progressive activists have www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
often sought to discredit hateful statements & unjust policies by describing them as 'violence,' even 'genocide.' This tendency seems grotesque if the same activists are not prepared to criticize Hamas, a group whose founding charter is explicitly genocidal: 'The Day of Judgement will not come about
until Moslems fight the Jews (killing the Jews), when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees.'”
for institutions, whether it be the Palestinian Authority or Hamas. 'The Palestinians don’t feel that any of their leaders are really legitimate in this sense,' said Robbins." news.stanford.edu/stories/2023...
Meanwhile, "72.5% of Israelis believe Netanyahu should take responsibility for Oct. 7 & resign. Israel Democracy Institute poll also finds a similar percentage favors advancing to the second phase of the ceasefire-hostage release deal with Hamas." www.timesofisrael.com/72-5-of-isra...
All over the world, right-wing conmen-fascists are gaining power. The conflict in Gaza is just a part of their demonic work. The left remains divided & purity tests, such as one's position on Gaza, keep it that way, while fascists consolidate power. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...
Purity test? What’s going on Gaza is fascism
Yes. Purity test. The USA doesn't control what Israel does. They have influence, but no president possesses a magic wand with which they can end decades of enmity & fighting. But, perhaps you prefer tRump's all-out support for genocide in Gaza over Harris's flawed but more moderate approach?
