      You mean he'll also work to secure a temporary ceasefire to negotiate hostage returns, get humanitarian aid in, and allow civilians to escape?

      Wait, that doesn't sound like Trump...

            What do you offer, besides a braindead binary reduction to make yourself feel morally superior?

            "Anyway, here's why you have to vote for the blue genocider instead of the red one" projection

            If I still had any illusions about the hollowness of liberal rhetoric in the face of actual ethnic cleansing, this would have dispelled them. You are all Good Little Germans through and through, and you'll be santimouniously goose-stepping into hell before you know it.

                    Every ICE detention center along our southern border meets the internationally recognized definition of a concentration camp. None of which have been shut down by Biden. In fact, migrant detention has only increased under his regime. It would behoove you to stop acting like a smug asshole.

                        I have tonassume you're doing a bit right? Even the most die hard liberal couldn't agree that they are concentration camps and dismiss it as "so what" right.

                        Honest question, you just explicitly told us Biden expanding concentration traction camps doesn't neggatively effect your opinion of him. Why would anybody who isn't a proud self proclaimed fascists give a single shit what you think.

                            You're not willing to call somebody expanding what you admitted were concentration camps a fascist? Seems like your political opinions can be pretty easily discarded then since they're objectively worthless.

                                Lol nobody ever said that was thenonly thing it's just literally the first example somebody brought up and you admitted you weren't aware of it and then i.mediatly started defending. (By the way hope you have a moment of clarity at some point and realize you're literally defending concentration camps)

                                The fact you went from admitting you didn't know about them to defending them in approximately 3 seconds makes me think that maybe you aren't being sincere when you say you don't just blindly support him.

                                The half dozen comments explicitly defending concentration camps and literally saying "Oh so just because he's expanding concentration traction camps suddenly he's a fascist" confirms that belief.

                                If my purity test of "don't expand concentration camps" is too extreme for liberals that's liberals problem not mine.

                        You're gonna have to come up with a better campaign message then "I'm ok with concentration camps because I don't think that's fascism" if you want anyone to take you seriously.

          Also: https://www.npr.org/2023/12/08/1218332312/israel-hamas-war-us-ceasefire-veto-un

          After the vote, the U.S. deputy representative to the U.N., Robert Wood, said the resolution was rushed and ignored U.S. diplomatic efforts to get more aid into Gaza and free hostages taken by Hamas militants in the Oct. 7 attack on Israel.

          "We propose language ... that would have reinforced the life-saving diplomacy we have undertaken since Oct. 7, increased opportunities for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza, encourage the release of hostages and the resumption of humanitarian pauses and laid a foundation for a durable peace," Wood said.

          "Unfortunately, nearly all of our recommendations were ignored."

            The US still can stop military aid to Israel instead Biden is using his emergency powers to send them more weapons to kill Palestinians. Not to mention past ceasefires it vetoed. It obviously there will never be an agreeable ceasefire because the actions point to an intended genocide.

              The problem is it's not as simple as that. Hamas and Israel are at war. That's an undisputed fact.

              Israel is the US's ally. Also an undisputed fact.

              Joe Biden is an old politician and Catholic from an era where "Zion" is synonymous with Israel. Calling himself a Zionist, I suspect, is like calling himself a Christian with different words. But "Zionist" doesn't mean the same thing anymore, and I bet he doesn't fully grasp what he's identifying with in a modern sense.

              Additionally, and this is the political muck of it, were Israel's ally. Typically, you honor your alliances. I don't know why we're so gung ho about the middle east and Israel, but alliances seem to mean something to heads of state, even if you don't agree with the ally's tactics. I've never been a President, so I don't know what the political calculus is here, but I seriously doubt that genocide is Biden's goal.

                Israel does provide the US with strategic and geopolitical advantages. I would be okay if the US just came out and said that it doesn't care about human rights or war crimes, the issue for many of us is the clear hypocrisy in the response between Ukraine and Palestine. Biden and the Democratic Party should also accept that many people in the US care about human rights and Palestine.

                but I seriously doubt that genocide is Biden’s goal

                I don't. https://theintercept.com/2021/04/27/biden-israeli-invasion-lebanon/

                Begin said he was shocked at how passionately Biden supported Israel’s invasion when Biden “said he would go even further than Israel, adding that he’d forcefully fend off anyone who sought to invade his country, even if that meant killing women or children.” Begin said, “I disassociated myself from these remarks,” adding: “I said to him: No, sir; attention must be paid. According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war. Sometimes there are casualties among the civilian population as well. But it is forbidden to aspire to this. This is a yardstick of human civilization, not to hurt civilians.” The comments were striking from Begin, who had been notorious as a leader of the Irgun, a militant group that carried out some of the worst acts of ethnic cleansing accompanying the creation of the state of Israel, including the 1948 Deir Yassin massacre.

                So we're in the position where a sitting US president is making speeches using words he doesn't understand? Wow, that does not seem great. Maybe we should have a president who knows what words mean, you know?

                Also, I have to admit, I don't care if someone has genocide as a goal or not. I care a bit more about their actions. Will a person's actions lead to more genocide? If so, then I think that person should be removed from power, immediately, regardless of what they think about genocide.

            The UN does have the power to impose sanctions and a ceasefire.

            That power is subject to veto by the US.

            Which vetoed it.
