Yeah, lefties just hate how Shapiro called Netanyahu “a dangerous and destructive force” and “one of the worst leaders of all time.”
This is all just attacks from the people who can’t attack Biden anymore but know they’d look bad saying Kamala isn’t left enough. They prop us Walz because they know he won’t get picked, even though he’s been just as bad as Shapiro on Gaza. Shapiro has been explicit when he’s said Netanyahu is an obstacle to peace, something Walz has not said afaik.
Make no mistake: there’s a reason the person who posted this is known for spamming anti-Biden content.
No other potential nominee has been as bad as Shapiro on Gaza. There’s a specific complaint about how he’s worse right there in the article.
“[He] was unique among the top VP picks in his willingness to deploy the National Guard on peaceful protestors. He even went as far as to compare peaceful university protestors to KKK ralliers.”
When Biden dropped out, I asked r2o in a number of their threads if they were going to cool it with the source-agnostic concern troll spamming. Never got an answer. It was pretty obvious where this was going.
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.
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.
I have the luxury of not growing up influenced by shitty adults, so maybe it’s easy to cast judgement, but his college statement was pretty seriously racist. And it wasn’t just quietly racist, but actively sending it in to the opinion section to have it broadcast to everyone at his school. I’m willing to accept that people can grow out of racism, but I’d find it pretty reasonable for the targets of that racism to strongly object to someone who went out of their way to write a racist opinion piece in college. And like, we could just choose someone without that stain.

“anything critical of Democrats is trolling!”
Yeah, no. I even said I’d still post critical news articles as well as positive news about Biden/Harris/Dems.
They’re lost.
Removed by mod
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.

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.
Disingenuous it is.
At this point, he can’t have a shadow of a doubt what they’re using it for.

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.

I don’t love that he volunteered for the IDF, but I can also acknowledge that I’m a different person than I was 20+ years ago.
I’d prefer Kelly, personally.

Whose?
??
Whose college statement are you referring to? Shapiro’s, or Kelly’s?
Shapiro’s.
He did a school project on a Kibutz doing something there. It happened to be facilitated by the IDF but I believe was arranged through his synagogue
Kelly is no better on Gaza policy
I didn’t say why I’d prefer Kelly.
Reportedly Kelly is out at this point and it’s down to Walz and Shapiro. Source: AP, CBS within the past hour.
And yet…
And yet.
Who was wrong about Walz.
Why do you think you were wrong?
What was I wrong about? Shapiro was the frontrunner.
