The most relevant fact about the Biden administration’s current position on the war against Gaza is this: There is no Israeli war crime too extreme for Joe Biden to consider pausing, to say nothing of cutting off, the flow of U.S. weapons and financial support for Israel’s war of annihilation. On Tuesday, the Senate passed an extraordinary $14 billion in additional military aid for Israel to continue its occupation and bombing of the Palestinians of Gaza. Biden remains defiant in rejecting global demands for an immediate cessation of Israel’s military assault on a starving, overwhelmingly defenseless population. Not only has Biden flatly rejected suggestions that he use the threat of halting military sales to Israel, his administration is currently preparing a new shipment of powerful munitions to Tel Aviv.
A recent U.S. intelligence estimate indicated that Israel’s current weapons stockpiles only enables it to wage war against Gaza for an additional 19 weeks, unless Washington sends more ammunition. The fact that Biden has outright refused to use his leverage as Israel’s arms dealer is a stark indication that the occasional public platitudes, offered by U.S. officials and numerous media leaks about Biden’s mounting frustration with Netanyahu, are little more than a re-election campaign ploy.
The reason Gaza has become a domestic electoral problem for Biden is because of activism, especially from Palestinian Americans. The White House seems to believe it can still salvage the Arab American vote and desperately hopes the specter of another Donald Trump term will tilt the balance in Biden’s favor regardless of his atrocious role in an ongoing genocide. Whatever happens in the November election, it should never be forgotten that it was Biden, not those Americans who oppose Israel’s war and the U.S. facilitation of it, that bolstered Trump’s chances. That is entirely on Biden and the Democratic Party establishment.
The President controls his Party. This is also a fact. If you honestly think that the Senate would have passed a veto proof majority for Israel if Biden opposed funding the genocide you’re a clown.
Clown? Do you need to mock people you disagree with?
You set the tone for this discussion. 😏 🙄
Typical. Blame your own actions on me.
"The president is a powerless innocent cinnamon bun that did nothing wrong! Blaming Biden for his unlimited enthusiastic support for Israel means you’re too stupid to understand highschool civics! 😭 "
Now, to press your embarrassment you make up something not said.
Here you’re definitely implying anyone who holds Biden accountable was too stupid for highschool civics.
All I did was say you’re a clown if you believe Biden would be bypassed by the Senate. Do you actually believe that? Do you really believe that the Senate would send him a veto proof bill if he openly came out against it? Because that’s clown like.
The fact is he leads the Democratic Party and there aren’t ten Senators willing to cross Party lines to bypass a veto. Maybe one. Not ten.
Next you’ll just repeat yourself like a broken doll and say Biden doesn’t lead the Senate, as if he’s a blameless innocent cinnamon bun.
Sorry, I’ve moved on. You can make up the same old lines ad infinitum.
