    Military action worked really well against Al-Qaeda.

    It really didn’t.

    It can perpetuate terrorism, but does not have to

    It always does.

    a massive terrorist attack

    You keep playing up the size of one day while ignoring the extremely unproportionate "response " from the Israeli government.

    a 70-year-old ally.

    And pretending that the alliance of hegemonic convenience means that they’re allowed to commit atrocities freely

    Biden is not actively supporting genocide.

    Bending if not breaking rules and norms to make sure that the US is supplying a shitload of the weapons and funding that make it possible is active support by any sane definition, so yes he is.

    Netanyahu said they’re going to extend the war, Biden says they cannot.

    And Biden knows that Netanyahu won’t listen to talk without real consequences. Of which Biden will make sure there will be none.

    an uncomfortable situation where innocents are getting killed

    War crime enabling understatement of the century.

    doesn’t mean you have to start making things up.

    I’m not. I just wish I could say the same about you.

      I’m not ignoring the disproportionate response by Israel, you are as yet unable to comprehend that it’s the exact same way they’ve responded to every attack from Palestine for 70 years.

      You’re just making things up about Biden that haven’t come true yet.

      So yeah you can make things up, but two weeks ago people were saying Biden wouldn’t even tell Israel to stop, and then he encouraged them to scale back operations, and then they said he never stopped delivering weapons, and now he’s slowing down deliveries, and you are all arguing that they’re going to encourage the war to go on forever, and he told netanyahu that the war cannot continue indefinitely.

      You can make things up, but they are crashing into the walls of reality.

      I’m sure you wish you could.
