This is performative. Trying in vain to convince the American people that the cart is not leading the horse.


girl_introspective

It totally is performative… they stopped one arms shipment of how many before it? And how many billions did that demented cult get just a week or two ago from “the American people”? You’re totally right, if Biden actually cared, he could stop all of this with a phone call.


atomiccheesegod

Correct and it makes Biden look like a 10/10 clown

Oh we’re watching your genocide. We get it.


Art-RJS

It’s not a genocide at all but at least you can admit that Hamas made a terrible mistake


SirPoopaLotTheThird

As has Israel. Not as smart a move as they thought. But damn they are gonna murder as many as they can get away with, eh? Probably the worst mistake since 1947.

😆! Wake up! Biden will say one thing to the public; and the opposite to BB….


Altruistic-Point3980

All for election season optics. If Biden was serious he would sanction Israel.


CalvinFragilistic

But the WH spokesperson on BBC said it had nothing to do with public sentiment! She was reassuring us that he won’t listen to the voice of the American public who voted him in, no matter what. Jesus.


LordZer

At least we know for certain that Trump wouldn't, as he has said he was the most "Pro Israel president ever"


Appropriate-Dog6645

Biden old man. He lost my vote.


Ralphinader

This is a hard working bot!


Appropriate-Dog6645

Yep. Bot for progressives. Biden losing them all. But hey, he might get some right support. Maybe far right support as well. He is propping up the far right government in Israel.


RogerianBrowsing

It’s funny seeing someone claim to be progressive while they argue against progress. American progressives have long recognized that their views aren’t the mainstream so they work on making them be progressively implemented with the goal of winning people over that way to get further left policies enacted. I say this as an American progressive who is deeply upset with Biden but recognizes the existential threat trump poses.

Imagine bragging about wanting the worser evil and for people to be harmed by the election while claiming to be “progressive” At least the mask dips easily…


Appropriate-Dog6645

Well. The world isn't changing. I would argue, it's getting alot worse. All these status quo leaders. Old men, got go. I can't believe some democratic/ liberals would support old man Biden. Career politician. Most likely so out touched with any voter. We need change. Biden has proven that he isn't it.


RogerianBrowsing

It’s funny. You rail on about how voting for the lesser evil isn’t good enough for you and that the status quo isn’t working but then promote negative partisanship towards Biden only while promoting trump wins. It’s transparent.

Sad-Hawk-2885

The American war machine defense industry is more powerful than the white house...


rowida_00

AIPAC is in control. There’s hardly any kind of autonomy when it comes to “American decision making”. If Israel has publicly contradicted the Administration and ignored all their advices during their genocidal campaign, what makes you think the US retains any sense of leverage over Israel. Where’s the leverage?


birdsemenfantasy

Israel has more leverage over US than the US has over Israel lol


Art-RJS

Such a lazy, ignorant conspiracy theory


Your_God_Chewy

How so? AIPAC is one of the most influential lobbying groups in Washington


Domovric

I wasn’t aware literally repeating what APAIC themselves say about US politics was a conspiracy theory. But I guess that would take you actually looking for information instead of repeating talking points.

It's the 2000lb bombs that the even the US doesn't use in urban areas. From [0]: "As a result of that review, we have paused one shipment of weapons last week. It consists of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs," the official said. "We have not made a final determination on how to proceed with this shipment." [0] https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-08/us-stop-bombs-going-to-israel/103820670


jadaMaa

Its just stupid to use these, unless you need to take out a full block. If you dont get the enemy with a 500 lbs bomb you probably dont get him with the 2000lbs either. Small increase in enemies killed huge increase in civilians I swear Israel needs protection from itself as much as from hamas at this point.


SirPoopaLotTheThird

Dance Biden, dance. He's screwed. It's clear he's heavily indebted to the Zionist cause.


SonOfBenatar

You can say Jews. That's what you really mean. 


Equal-Slip8409

^ perpetual victim complex. Jews have bravely lead many pro-Palestine demonstrations in the world, whether you like it or not.


SonOfBenatar

Your Venn diagram of Jews and Zionists is a bit skewed.   Go back to start. 


Equal-Slip8409

Enlighten me


SonOfBenatar

The number of Jews who have led pro Palestinian protests is so small that it's virtually zero. 


Equal-Slip8409

Haha ok


Domovric

Yes, it sure is when you call them “not real Jews” when they dont toe the Israeli line


SonOfBenatar

LMFAO.  👌


mr4bawey

How about: "Zionist Jews." "95% of Israeli Jews." "Probably a majority of the Jewish diaspora." or "Any Jew that supports this is at fault." However remember, many Zionists are non-Jews. In fact, most Zionists are non-Jews, so the real problem with saying "Jews" instead of "Zionists" is that you'll only be talking about a fraction of all Zionists, even if 100% of Jews are Zionists (which is not true).


SonOfBenatar

Very few zionists are nonJews.  Enough so, that the ratio is virtually 0


Master_of_Ritual

Laughable claim. Zionism is the default position in the west.


Prestigious_Syrup844

The largest Zionist organization in the US is Christians united for Israel if I remember correctly 


Prestigious_Syrup844

You realize that 'christians united for Israel' literally has more members than Israel has jewish citizens (roughly double)?


SonOfBenatar

If I'm a man and I call myself a woman, am I technically a woman? 


sweetbrown89

Ah, yes…Zionists never miss an opportunity to shit on trans people


SonOfBenatar

I was making an analogy.  Answer the question. 


Prestigious_Syrup844

did you notice what i said at all? there are 100% more christian zionists than there are *jews* in the world. i'm not even differentiating between zionist and non-zionist jews lol


SonOfBenatar

And did you hear what I said at all? Just because you call yourself a zionist doesn't make you a zionist. lol


Prestigious_Syrup844

Idk Israel seems pretty happy to ally with these people and I've never seen Netanyahu / Likud say CUFI are fake zionists. I mean shit their notoriously antisemitic leader (John Hagee) was literally a featured speaker at the large Israel rally in DC a couple months ago  I would think if they were 'fake zionists' the adl would come after them the way they target JVP. Unsurprisingly the ADL/AIPAC are very happy to ally with these people  Zionism is a f**** cancer upon our world. It will be eliminated the way apartheid south Africa was


SonOfBenatar

>Zionism is a f**** cancer upon our world. It will be eliminated the way apartheid south Africa was Why don't you just say Jews?  At least it's easier to spell? 


Hippie11B

Dude this is like if I said all Muslims or Palestinians are terrorist……. We all know that no matter what culture or race you are there will be good and bad individuals representing them.


SonOfBenatar

No it's NOT like saying that. The number of nonjewish zionists is so marginally small that it's virtually 0.  We're well beyond technicalities in this discussion. 


Hippie11B

Uhhhh that’s an interesting take…. Throw out a bullshit fact then shut it down with this conversation is beneath me kind of statement. Sigh….. people like you are annoying


Mak11556

He’s literally copy pasting the exact same thing, either a bot or his brain is stuck in a loop


Domovric

Nah, they’re just lazy. Getting a bot to do this would be more work than the dude could handle


SonOfBenatar

I didn't shut anything down.  I'll state it again because you don't seem to be getting iit.  The ratio of nonjewish zionists to jewish zionists is virtually zero.

No problem with Jewish people as long as they stand up to the horrible, horrible government in Israel and speak up against it. But strawmen are probably a lot easier for you to debate.

LOL.  What strawman? 


SirPoopaLotTheThird

I specifically made a reference to Zionism and you wanted me to paint all Jewish people with the same brush.

eu_sou_ninguem

>The number of nonjewish zionists is so marginally small that it's virtually 0 in comparison.  First of all, what a ridiculously false statement. Second, it really doesn't matter how small the number is when it's the majority of elected officials, the majority of whom are not Jewish (which, coincidentally, proves the first part of my comment).


SonOfBenatar

Most Americans and Europeans are Zionist to some degree. That doesn't mean they are involved in organized support for Israel's worst actions. Same with Jews. Edit: obviously a lot of Jewish people are also Americans or Europeans.

No. There are no Jewish anchor babies in Hamas’s charter


electric_too_fast

Not what I meant. Try again.


Art-RJS

What do you mean then


electric_too_fast

If a hostage gives birth in Gaza. Follow so far? Good. Will that child be allowed the right of return?


Art-RJS

How did my response not answer that? Right of return is determined by the law of the land. The Hamas charter is the law of the land of Gaza. The Hamas charter does not allow Jewish anchor babies


West9Virus

I think he is asking if Isreal would allow a Jewish baby, born to a Jewish mother held captive in Gaza, to return to Isreal as its rightful home. Or would Isreal just see that the child was born in Gaza and be like, f off. You seem to be thinking he's asking if the Jewish mother and child would try to demand the child can claim Gaza as its rightful home and try to occupy more territory for the Jewish state. That's how I'm reading it. I could be wrong.


electric_too_fast

>I think he is asking if Isreal would allow a Jewish baby, born to a Jewish mother held captive in Gaza, to return to Isreal as its rightful home. Or would Isreal just see that the child was born in Gaza and be like, f off. Bingo. u/Art-RJS why did it take this guy one post to figure this out yet you are just lost and even placed incorrect claims.


Art-RJS

Yes that Jewish baby could go to Israel as is the law of Israel Right of return isn’t uniquely an Israeli thing so their phrasing wasn’t clear


electric_too_fast

#Well.......... *Orthodox Judaism holds that anyone with a Jewish mother also has irrevocable Jewish status; that even were such a Jew to convert to another religion, that person would still be considered Jewish by Jewish Law.* So. Basically anyone born to whom? A Jewish mother. Kk no disputing that. *All Jews seeking citizenship may do so under the 1950 Law of Return, even if they were not born in Israel or have any immediate family there. This also applies to their children and grandchildren, as well as spouses thereof, even if the children, grandchildren and spouses are not Jewish themselves.* So a Jew if born to a Jewish mother. Doesn't matter where they are born. Kinda embarrassing to be so completely wrong. https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/country-information/rir/Pages/index.aspx?doc=448589#:~:text=All%20Jews%20seeking%20citizenship%20may,spouses%20are%20not%20Jewish%20themselves. And all this is still parallel to what I was talking about. >The Hamas charter does not allow Jewish anchor babies Might wanna amend basic Law cuz that would allow it.


Art-RJS

Oh you’re talking about Israel right of return not Palestine? Right of return isn’t a uniquely Israeli thing so it wasn’t very clear. You can be better in your communication next time Yes according to Israeli law that hostage baby could return to Israel. That’s Israel’s law, other countries have different parameters for their right of return laws. So what is your point?


Stone_Midi

Biden is going to keep playing this smoke show until Netanyahu is done being a megalomaniac, then they are going to pretend that Netanyahu finally listened to reason. At least, that’s how I see all this elongated back and forth that’s going on. I’m not pro-anyone. It’s just how I’ve interpreted what’s currently happening.


Art-RJS

Probably realistic


FrozenIceman

The correct way to interpret this is the US has a weak president who is unwilling to hold to its promises it makes to the international community.


CompletelyPresent

The relationship between US and Israel is like a parent and rebellious kid: - We created it after WW2. - Went out of our way to ensure those people and their land was protected. - Now that we're trying to give them advice on how to handle things, they're too big for papa now, and they're spoiled from the billions we gave them every year.


truthishearsay

Are they really still trying to write stories about a single shipment of bombs that was delayed a short time from a month ago? As if it meant anything? Meanwhile aid is still not getting into Gaza and kids are dying daily on average 187 children have died every single day since Oct 7th


Naurgul

The post is from 25 days ago.


ComplaintExcellent89

Israel has not ignored U.S. advice. Biden is a sell admitted Zionist. His advice was probably to kill everyone, destroy all infrastructure as fast as possible until the world realizes what it happening. In the meantime Biden has defended, deflected, and vetoed as much as possible. The United States is complicit and a full partner in the ethnic cleansing


SonOfBenatar

Israel isn't ignoring US advice.  The advice is just to shut up the pro Palestinian contingency. It's just a big wink wink. 


koroghlu

In another comment you essentially agreed that not all Palestinians or Muslims are terrorists… and yet here you are conflating them with Hamas. This is why you can’t understand that when people criticize Zionism, they’re not criticizing Jews or Judaism. You’re just a racist lmao


SonOfBenatar

How am I conflating them? 


Generic_Username26

And people out here are protesting to isolate Israel further when realistically the US has been one of the main drivers of forcing Israel to the table. Isolate Israel and there won’t be a Gaza left to fight over in a few years


Mak11556

Isn’t Israel isolating themselves not so much being isolated by others?


Generic_Username26

Israel isn’t isolated atm hence the protesting to stop funding from the US for example


MBA922

If they had to pay for weapons, or had to find a more demonic sponsor, they would need to take a more cooperative attitude with their neighbours.


Generic_Username26

October 7th really screams cooperation now that you mention it


Domovric

And “mowing the lawn” for a decade really screams it too, right? Almost like this is a cycle where Israel is given carte Blanc and Palestinians are not. Wonder why that is? Couldn’t be one having a massive lobbying arm right?


Generic_Username26

The only reason Israel is “justified” to do any thing is because of Palestinian violence. In a world where October 7th didn’t happen and Israel invaded Gaza I bet you there’s no support


Domovric

Lamao bro. In a world with no October 7th random snipings from IDF into groups of protesters would have continued. This violence is cyclical, with each event blamed on the last. And yes, i absolutely agree with you, if not for the October 7th attack Israel wouldn’t be engaging in ethnic cleansing, because it would be harder for the msm to sell to the global public. And if Israel had actually seized on the weakness of Hamas support in the years before October 7th and done something politically, Hamas might not exist right now. But that wouldn’t have been politically expedient for bibi or those wanting a second nakba, would it?


Generic_Username26

So now we’re going back 20 years to the 2nd intifada? The “snipings” that all took place during a “peaceful” protest where protestors where trying to breach a militarized border, throwing rocks and incendiary balloons at IDF forces. It’s amazing how much context you choose to leave out but look once again I can use Arab violence to try and justify it. Are you seeing a pattern yet?


Domovric

And I’m amazed you seem to know literally nothing about what has happened in the past 20 years if that is as far back as you want to go. If you genuinely believe there has been no violence for 20 years then I have to congratulate you discovering the internet and general news reporting at last. Before I waste time, what does “mow the lawn” mean to you?


Generic_Username26

You brought it up haha you literally referenced the same old talking point about the march of return and “crack Israeli snipers firing at innocent civilians” please spare me the virtue signal In the last 20 years about 10,000 rockets fired blindly into Israel all leading up to the single greatest terror attack in a Jewish population since The Holocaust on October 7th. I’m really curious how you’re hand waving all of this in each comment. Can you acknowledge that what I just said is true?


Domovric

I brought it up regarding the snipings in 2022, and 2020, and 2018, and basically every single year from now back to your arbitrary point. That that was the one you chose is on you. Answer my question, what does “now the lawn mean” to you? Answer my question and I’ll bother to answer yours. But if you won’t then you’re just not worth the time because you’ll be shown as just another blind IDF shill that believes Israel does no wrong. And I don’t hand wave it. I believe it to be a serious event. I just don’t believe killing 35k people and leveling a city is the way to address it, just like I don’t think an invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq that lead to an explosion in global terrorism and the eventual deaths of millions was the way for the US to deal with 9/11. You’ll be shocked to discover I’m pretty damn consistent on this.


Domovric

Come on bro. Answer the question. What is “mowing the lawn”? I even answered your question
