        Which is very different, and he’s not the one or the only one in charge of that. So why aren’t we calling out the people more directly responsible for this? There are other top politicians pushing for this and the majority of those are living in Israel. This is, after all, a World News community and many of us don’t live in the USA. From my POV, this is all a little too ridiculous, nearsighted, and somewhat of an egocentric rhetoric.

          Let’s say that the Uvalde cops instead of doing nothing went in an gave the school shooter more guns, ammo, a vehicle to drive to the next school, and shot anyone trying to stop the school shooter.

          That is how insanely stupid it is to say that America is not responsible for knowingly arming genocidal Nazi israel.

            The thing is that I’m not arguing against anything that you said. It’s horrible that he’s enabling this, which is very different. What I’m saying is, why are you treating Biden like he’s the one directing the whole operation and murdering people himself? Give credit where it’s due and stop exaggerating.

        He’s personally delivering his own money? There’s more to a government than the president. Congress votes on funding like this.

        Too many people obsess exclusively over the US president as though checks and balances don’t exist. Maybe if we start talking shit about local representatives too we can get people aware of the many other ways they can influence the country outside of whining every 4 years that all the political canvassing they didn’t do hasn’t resulted in acceptable candidates.

        I do agree with your position on Palestine btw, but this messaging is so unhelpful.

        Yeah, yeah, he’ll personally decapitate babies with a sword. He’ll do anything.
