At least nine Palestinians have been killed and more than 40 wounded in the ongoing operation, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry, which Israel has dubbed “Operation Iron Wall.””
Nope, I remove misinformed comments and temp ban repeat violators.
You are correct, Israel is engaging in Genocide, Biden was not. His opinions on Israel were naive and outdated, but not genocidal.
“Naive and outdated” that’s one way to describe sending $30B in arms to a genocide. Others would call it “complicity in genocide”. Like, experts in international law.
Been on lemmy.world for the last month or so you guys, I fucking hate it. Arguing with "we had to vote for Harris"ers until some vigilante mod decides my angry response to their support for genocide isn’t “civil” enough.
Experts in international law, the ICC, correctly blame Israel, not Biden.

The reason I say “naive” is that Biden persists in this mentality that Israel is just some poor victim surrounded by hostile Arab states and Israel hasn’t been a legit victim since… what? The 1972 Olympics?

If you look at what Israel has been doing to Gaza since the 90s, it’s a slow motion version of the ghettoization of the Jews in Nazi Germany.

The link you put does not excuse Biden. Why lie?

Please study the Nakba, you’re not just embarrassing yourself but whitewashing a history of genocide.
You’re really committed to defending people who committed genocide
No, I’m commited to blaming the people actually committing genocide:

So you are a genocide denier. Do you also ban people who don’t deny genocide?
Nope, I fully acknowledge the genocides being commited, but in order to do that, you have to blame the correct parties.
See my post here:

Blaming the wrong people won’t end the genocide.
Ok, genocide denier
My position on the Israeli genocide has been 100% clear from the start:
