      Search Google news or similar aggregate for “Biden poll numbers Israel Gaza Palestine” and you will find many liberal pundits making this exact point. Public opinion doesn’t support this genocide but the government does, should tell you something there.

      For the second point you only have to have a cursory glance at US-sponsored regime changes and coups, the right/fascist group supporting foreign private business interests is the one the US supports.

          If you truly didn’t care you would agree with the criticisms that apply rather than paradoxically dismiss them. It’s wrong that this media apparatus, supported by partisan political and corporate interests, divorced from public sentiment, cares more about Biden’s poll numbers than genocide, correct? This is very easy to agree with unless you are personally invested in this political system to the point where you can’t criticize aspects of it that are engaged in genocide.

          “Don’t criticize Biden for supporting genocide, that’s how you get another Trump term.” What can you criticize if not genocide, this is fucked.

              It’s ignorant and moronic to criticize a president and government for enabling genocide? Okay.

              “Don’t criticize the genocide supporting president, it might help the other genocide supporting president.” Accepting how fucked this is is a pre-requisite for any change that could happen so good luck with the status quo there.

                You can’t maintain an effective echo chamber without calling people stupid and blocking them, get with it
