President Biden told a Democratic lawmaker and members of his Cabinet after the State of the Union address that he told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that they will need to have a ācome-to-Jesus meeting.ā
Bidenās comments, captured on a hot mic as he spoke with Sen. Michael Bennet (D-Colo.) on the floor of the House chamber, came after Bennet congratulated the commander in chief on his speech and pressed him to keep pressure on Netanyahu over increasing humanitarian issues in Gaza.
With Hamas being very clear about wanting to commit genocide, the choice is this conflict is not genocide vs. no genocide. The choice is about which side is given more opportunity to commit genocide. Horrific that is the choice, but itās not like disarming the Israelis would result in fewer human deaths in that region.
Hamas does not have anything like the resources to actually enact a genocide and they never will. Regardless of this, the people of Palestine do not deserve to be executed en masse for Hamasā crimes.
the fact this even needs to be said is fucking mortifying
Itās mystifying! Hamas is obviously a pretty evil organisation, but the fact that people seem to think this justifies whatās happening is horrifying.
Well, at least youāre open that you support Netanyahuās genocide instead of flinging accusations.
When you colonize a region and then try to say itās an US vs Them situation like you both should be allowed, it makes your argument a lot less valid. Itās not like these 2 peoples just woke up in a cage together. Itās a colony. One group forced themselves into the area.
This isnāt to say to genocide the Jews or something like your fucked up brain imagines is the only solution. But it does mean that the state of Israel doesnāt get to just stop here and keep all its genocidal spoils. Itās going to have to give up and lose some of its land and absolute power over these people. It has to stop treating palastinians like subhumans. It has to give up control over some things. As long as itās unwilling to do so, it will continue creating people who hate it to the point of utter annihilation, and it will be the state of Israels fault for treating people that way.
