Here's Bernie not saying the word "genocide"
I strongly disagree with Mr. Biden on the question of U.S. support for Israel’s horrific war against the Palestinian people. The United States should not provide Benjamin Netanyahu’s right-wing extremist government with another nickel as it continues to create one of the worst humanitarian disasters in modern history.
. . .
Supporters of Mr. Biden can speak proudly about a good and decent Democratic president
who is committing genocide
with a record of real accomplishment.
. . . of committing genocide
. . .
We battled to defend women’s rights in the face of moves by Trump-appointed jurists to roll back reproductive freedom and deny women the right to control their own bodies.
Battled and lost, and in such a way as to make the "battle" part seem implausible
. . .
So, yes, Mr. Biden has a record to run on.
of committing genocide
. . .
This election offers a stark choice on issue after issue.
except on genocide, where the candidates are united
If Mr. Biden and his supporters focus on these issues — and refuse to be divided and distracted — the president will rally working families to his side in the industrial Midwest swing states and elsewhere and win the November election. And let me say this as emphatically as I can: For the sake of our kids and future generations, he must win.
But not for Palestinian kids and future generations. Fuck them, I guess.
I feel like this is more about self preservation. AOC in particular has gradually been shifting to more 'acceptable' positions over the years, and I feel like if you're not willing to actually make a stand here, about a genocidal loon that is getting lampooned by the press from all sides, you're never going to do so.
