to elaborate: ive seen more than one comment on hexbear say something along the lines of "so dems could have stopped this all along, at any time???"
and like... yes. we've known this since about a month in, there's been story after story about an amerikkkan president deciding enough is enough, phoning the isr*eli PM and the entity stopping immediately. iirc, fucking regan of all people stopped them from continuing to bomb beirut!!! The dems havent done this because whatever is left of who joe biden used to be is still clearly a true believer in zionism, and he filled his cabinet with those like him such as blinken who are just as unwilling to put a leash on isr*el. where is this disbelief coming from? it reminds me of when people try and finger wag at rags like the New York CrimeSS and say "they've fallen so far" like no man western journalists have always been little lying hitlerites and they always will be until the capitalist west falls, there's no degradation in moral character you're just aware of it now. anyways rant over bye bye
*I should clarify we need to wait and see if this ceasefire actually holds. however, if you look at the past, if a president actually puts their foot down, it certainly seems like it will
I don't think it is unusual to be suprised ideology shift in the parties. Democrats are now the party of neoliberal bloodthirsty monsters. Republicans are now less bloodthirsty. It used to be other way around.
i dont think it's really an ideological shift. i think they are both equally bloodthirsty, i just think the biden administration is uniquely zionist because biden has been the most outspoken pro zionist politican for decades. im not 100% sure how much of it is belief in israel as an unsinkable aircraft carrier (see "the united states would have to invent an isr*el" speech") vs religious conviction (biden is supposedly a devout catholic, and while i am pretty sure they dont have the same beliefs about the rapture as evangelicals, im sure they still have some religious beliefs surrounding isr*el). ultimately my opinion is that its much more religious than ideological at this point, they already have so many other client states in the region (egypt, jordan, gulf states aside from yemen, etc.) that the steadfast support for the entity that the biden administration begins to appear nearly irrational to me, because they could cut isr*el adrift and still control the region imo
