I’m just gonna paste my explanation from another post:
Palestinians will not coexist peacefully. They do not have the capabilities to establish their own homeland and make it successful even with the aid of Israel and the United States. They are too battle-minded to be able to establish a peaceful homeland of their own.
That’s what he said and didn’t distance himself from until decades later when it might cost him a prestigious gig not to. Not buying it.
Doesn’t help that he used to volunteer at an IDF base and then worked at the Israeli embassy as a paid Hasbarist.
He’s also recently spread the “protests against genocide is antisemitic and threatens Jewish students” disinformation, going so far as to equate the currents anti-genocide protesters with the KKK harassing black people.
He also falsely claimed that Jewish people are being banned from campuses, which there’s absolutely no evidence for.
Basically he’s an awful Hasbarist. Always has been, always will be.
And his supporters in Washington and the media are already declaring all criticism of the above antisemitism because of course they are 🤦🤬
Make no mistake: there’s a reason the person who posted this is known for spamming anti-Biden content
Maybe that reason is the fact that Biden is an active participant in genocide pretending to be a moderating influence? Just a thought.
You’re wrong. He’s been providing weapons and funding used to commit the genocide, sometimes even doing so without Congress.
To claim that providing such invaluable resources via his own decisions isn’t participation is naive at best, disingenously excusing the crucial US role as inconsequential at worst.
This is a clear illustration of how you don’t understand how things work in politics and diplomacy. I suggest you brush up before engaging in discussions where the topic addresses these things.
I understand just fine that the US diplomatic and political stance is that Israel is exempt from all rules.
That doesn’t erase the genocide or the US complicity in It though, and if you think it does, YOU are the one who needs to reacquaint yourself with reality outside of the Zionist kayfabe before "engaging in discussions where the topic addresses these things“.
Also, could you possibly be any more arrogantly condescending? Please cut that shit out, lest you appear to suffer from a bad case of the Dunning Kruger effect.
Again, I’m going to ask you to read up on how politics work before engaging any further. I
truly believe it is in both of our best interest that you do this.
No, he’s providing weapons and funding for the defense of Israel.
Israel is misappropriating that support for the Genocide.
Disingenuous it is.
At this point, he can’t have a shadow of a doubt what they’re using it for.
If you’re giving some $20 knowing full well that they’re going to use them for drugs, you’re not giving them lunch money. You’re giving them drug money.
Biden is providing weapons that he KNOWS are going to be used to commit genocide (which is in itself illegal according to US and international law btw), including weapons with no defensive purposes such as bombs.
Your “he’s just innocently providing for their self defense” excuse is absolutely ridiculous and I very much doubt that you even believe it yourself.
when someone deliberately does something violent to innocent people, attacking them *first * and you respond that they have the right to “defend themselves”, yes you are complicit.
Israel isn’t and has never “defended” itself. It is the instigator of this conflict.
Biden has repeatedly stated, correctly, that Israel has the right to defend itself, as any other nation does
Yes, but that’s demonstrably NOT what they’re doing and he knows it for a fact.
The funding is intended for that defense
That’s the official Hasbara gaslighting, sure, but it’s obviously not the truth.
Now, what Israel does with that support after we give it to them? That’s on them.
Not when it’s known beforehand. Again: providing weapons that you have reason to suspect MIGHT be used to commit war crimes is illegal according to both US and international law.
In the case of Israel, it’s far beyond a reasonable suspicion, it’s an absolute CERTAINTY.
We made the good faith donation
No. If it had been in good faith, it would have stopped the moment there was evidence that it was being used for anything else than the stated purpose. That point was DECADES ago and the weapons are still coming.
they’re the one abusing it.
Again: Biden KNOWS without a shadow of a doubt what they’re using them for. He would have to be sundowning as badly as the worst Republican conspiracy theories claim he is to not know. And he isn’t.
That does not make Biden complicit in Israel’s crimes.
Yeah, it ABSOLUTELY does. He KNOWS what those weapons are used for and still he keeps sending them. That he’s unconvincingly pretending not to isn’t a valid excuse and thus doesn’t absolve him of his complicity.
What Biden knows is irrelevant. He’s providing the support in good faith, Israel is abusing it. Specifically Bibi is abusing it. That is not Biden’s fault.
What Biden knows is irrelevant. He’s providing the support in good faith
That’s not how good faith works. Good faith is when you do something benevolent thinking that your actions aren’t going to have negative repercussions.
The fact that he KNOWS that to not be the case means that he is NOT acting in good faith.
Putting a “for self defense only, not genocide” sticker on a bomb that you KNOW without a shadow of a doubt is going to be used to commit genocide does NOT absolve you of your responsibility to not knowingly contribute to the genocide.
Specifically Bibi is abusing it. That is not Biden’s fault.
Right about the first part, wrong about the second.
While it’s of course PRIMARILY the fault of Netanyahu, the fact that Biden knows and still keeps the weapons coming makes him an indispensable accessory to Netanyahu’s crimes against humanity.
Without weapons there is no genocide. Most of the weapons come from the US. Ergo, without the US there is at WORST a genocide of a much smaller scale.

You were fine until the end, Biden is not an active participant in Genocide. Removed for misinformation.
You’re wrong. He’s been providing weapons and funding used to commit the genocide, sometimes even doing so without Congress.
To claim that providing such invaluable resources via his own decisions isn’t participation is naive at best, disingenously excusing the crucial US role as inconsequential at worst.
No, he’s providing weapons and funding for the defense of Israel.
Israel is misappropriating that support for the Genocide.
Biden is not directly doing anything related to the Genocide, that’s all on Bibi.
If I give someone $20 for lunch and they blow it on drugs instead, I’m not actively supporting their drug habit.
And this should be the point to end the argument. Well said.
Wrong on both accounts, since the entire world including Biden KNOWS what those weapons are going to be used for beforehand.
He’s not sending bombs and missile guiding systems for self defense. He’s sending them to be used to commit genocide and he knows it.

It’s not being disingenuous.

Not on October 7th they weren’t. Nobody at that music festival was actively attacking Palestinians. Get that bullshit out of your head right now.
Yes, but that’s demonstrably NOT what they’re doing and he knows it for a fact.
