      I think it’s a step in the right direction.

      Just because I don’t believe enough people are being held accountable does not mean that I believe nobody should be.

        I’ll agree with you the moment that ever means Americans are responsible for the atrocities they cause.

        It’s so disgustingly vulgar of Biden to say this while he is subverting Congress to sell bombs and arms to the Israelis.

    So…

    Since Biden went around Congress to supply weapons to Israel they’re using to genocide the people of Gaza…

    Biden is now claiming personal responsibility for the genocide in Gaza?

    Like, has anybody honestly checked on Biden lately? Does he not understand what he’s saying or is he really leaning into “what are you gonna do, vote trump?” Strategy this hard already?

    Because the danger is depressing turnout enough trump may win, not Dem voters voting trump.

    And this shit show of a comment is going to depress turnout for Biden…

      Not only supplying Israel is the direct reason why US soldiers are being targeting but also it bace the way to radicalized the new bin laden and the new ISIS. Who would target US individuals and interests every where.

      While in the past the attacks are mostly is happening in middle east, there are no guarantees to fight will affect civilians in the US.

      No one talk why bin laden became anti-usa eventhough he studied in western university and from a wealthy family. It is the US foreign affairs in supporting Israel that resulted in 9/11 directly or indirectly.

      He’s really leaning in already, and the damn fool is going to lose the election because of it. Absolutely disgraceful.

        If he literally didn’t have to go around congress, why did he?

        Just for a laugh?

        Just to show he could if he wanted to?

        Did he fucking forget that he could.

    I think that’s a good, fair way of treating arms dealers. Let’s apply that to everyone then yeah?

    Lets apply that to everyone.

    Q Mr. President, do you hold Iran responsible for the death of those three Americans?

    THE PRESIDENT: I do hold respon- — them responsible in the sense that they’re supplying the weapons to the people who did it.

    Cool. Now do Israel.

        It’s not even the electorate, the DNC is pushing Octogenarian Joe and his zionist sympathetic ideology. While they are also hiding any real alternative.

          Yeah it’s the electorate. Dnc didn’t push shit. He’s the incumbent that was picked clearly in primaries. If the voter is voting on his Israel stance they’ll have a rude awakening with trump in charge. Not to mention how stupid it is to make a single issue vote

          Hence it’s 100percent on a dumb electorate that can’t to basic if else logic

            I disagree, the DNC favors the incumbent, which I believe is a poor decision electorally. Moreover, the electorate should feel informed on the choices of candidates.

            I don’t like the argument “DNC didn’t push shit” they are an organization with an agenda, just like all organizations. They maintain support for Biden and sweep any other candidates under the rug away from the visibility of voters.

            It’s my belief that people on the left who would have voted from Biden, independents & moderates who support Palestine, will stay home based on single issues. I don’t think it’s smart of them to vote that way but, it’s an uncomfortable truth about the voting population that the DNC should understand.

    misleading headlines are misleading:

    Q But directly responsible?

    THE PRESIDENT: Well, we’ll have that discussion.

      This is from the same President that slurred “womenofamerica” at a rally, so I guess it’s understandable he would confuse being responsible for being responsible.

        that last statement you made sounds wierd. He said what has been the status quo. Those selling are somewhat responsible but not directly responsible. Thats why the us gets so much flak (well and the actual do things we do)
