Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

    Sanctions just 7 settlers instead of the state directly backing settlements and can't even keep that up. Fucking pathetic.

    The world power needs to understand that it has crossed the line

    So showing any backbone is crossing the line? Wow.

    If people took half of the energy they spend shaming people for not adhering to the two-party system and turned it to pressuring Biden to be a better candidate he'd have switched positions by now

      I doubt it. Biden doesn't give a hoot about what his voting base thinks or wants because they're going to mindlessly vote for him no matter how many genocides he does

        Disagree, if the centrists, liberals, and Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd worked him over half as hard at they work over us there'd be no reason not to give in.

          Except for the main reason of "all of Biden's donors would leave him." Neoliberal democracy has nothing to do with voters, it has everything to do with fundraisers. If Biden loses his fundraisers to someone else, the voters will follow, because that money will buy the propaganda to move them. This is how neoliberal democracy works. To think otherwise is idealist; it has never worked that way and it never will work that way under the current system.

            A chunk of the funders hedge their bets though, right?

            And what organization that has spent potentially MILLIONS of dollars at this point is just going to walk away from their investment instead of allowing their pet capital critter a bit of slack on the leash to give some crumbs to the unwashed masses to quiet us down?

    Settler colonialism is one of the most vile, disgusting crimes against humanity, and it is our duty to move in favor of liberation for all peoples.

      Israel runs on American dollars, without American dollars Israel cannot exist.

      Shekel barely counts as a seperate currency.
