    Damn, full support for a genocide that is unpopular with their own electorate, and this is the thanks they get? If you’re willing to lose due to principles, at least make them good principles.

      It’s not genocide, it’s ethnic cleansing/stealing land. If all the Palestinians left for some place else, Israel would not pursue them to exterminate them, they’d just steal their land. It’s Palestinian land that Israel is stealing. The Palestinians are just in the way.

        With all the good will in the world, my friend, you need to look up the definitions of genocide. Pursuing a population to exterminate then is NOT a prerequisite for genocide.

      The Democrats are only sucking Israel’s dick by proxy. They’re actually just sucking the dick of the military industrial complex, because America is a corporate plutocracy masquerading as a democracy.

      Israel’s just a long time benefactor of, and contributor to, the MIC. Their existence = weapons contracts.

        This is emphatically false. Like… Literally just a lie straight from the “both parties” crowd.

        The democrats are currently pressuring Israel and pushing back politically (weakly, since they seem afraid of piss off voters and hand everything to Trump).

        The Republicans fully support everything taking place right now. 100% support for Israel and this Hitler-esque leader of Isreal.

          “No administration has helped Israel more than I have. None, none, none,"

          Joe Biden like yesterday

          How is Israel being pressured? Do you mean phone calls where Biden asks bibi to chill then sends him everything he wants anyway? That’s not pressure. Pressure would be putting conditions on arms transfers and Biden won’t do that so the only thing separating Ds and Rs on this issue is a very thin veil of rhetoric that no one believes anyway

          Do you suppose they could pressure me? I could use billions of dollars with no strings attached.

          Saying “Hey, bud, don’t do x, is I’ll be real mad at you,” and then going “Gee, you did what I told you not to. Well, here’s a few billion dollars more weapons for you, so you can keep doing what I publicly asked you not to do.” is not pressuring them, it’s attempting to give plausible deniability to people who feel bad about supporting a blatantly genocidal state, and to fool the folks who take soundbites in the news at face value.

          Current Democratic pressure amounts to fuck all outside of a handful of legislators who are demonized by the centrist and right wing factions of the party. To say otherwise is to either deny reality, or else willfully misrepresent it.

    Considering how much money AIPAC has donated to get rid of any progressives that were critical of the genocidal Israeli government, I’m not surprised. I’m sure they’re getting even more desperate as as they need money and arms to continue the war started because of the governments sick violation of international law.
