You don't think the Biden admin is as guilty as Netanyahu's gov't?
So the son pays for the sins of the father? That’s stupid.
But no, I don’t think Biden (Joe) is “as guilty” as BiBi. It’s like blaming a sporting goods store for legitimately selling someone a gun and then blaming them if the purchaser goes and murders people with it. I think the administration bears some responsibility but after initially expressing full support for Israel, Biden began dialing that back as the situation in Gaza worsened (including complaining about BiBi being indiscriminate in targeting Hamas and calling for more aid to get into the area—and making some shitty attempts to assist with that). I don’t think BiBi gives two shits about what Biden wants. He’s getting branded a war criminal and doesn’t seem to give two shits about that! If the U.S. wants to stop sending arms or aid to Israel, the legislature ought to introduce a bill and vote on that. But of course they don’t want to be labeled anti semitic so the majority would rather sit back and blame the executive branch. Convenient.
The Biden admin didn't dial anything back. They threatened to do so -- a little -- but never did.
They're sending them weapons and munitions knowing exactly what they're being used for, and that makes us complicit in crimes against humanity.
As for Hunter, you do know what collective punishment is, right? Treat others the way you want them to treat you, I always say, because what goes around comes around.
And why aren’t Republicans demanding that the Biden administration withhold support to Israel and introducing legislation to that effect? And making campaign promises to hold Israel accountable for their genocide in Gaza and instead focusing on pro Palestinian protests on school campuses? Ohhhh, because they’re JUST as complicit (if not more so) and would rip the Biden administration as anti semetic if it took a harder line against Israel. They’re all pandering and blustering and equally guilty.
I hope my kids don’t have to pay for my sins. They’re far better people than me.
Of course they're all complicit in crimes against humanity -- as are we by extension -- but the executive branch has considerably more power at it's disposal than Congress does.
Executive fiat is all the rage if you happen to have executive power. The only time these vermin care about constitutionality is when they're in opposition, which is why the political dichotomy is cancer.
