They were cheered on before Trump too

If someone broke into your home and destroyed all the food, and blockaded you from leaving or anything from getting in, wouldn’t it be obvious they were trying to kill you?
So how could this not be an intentional act of genocide? And now we have Trump they will be cheered on if anything

They were (lightly) publicly criticised and privately supported, but yeah, point taken

and privately supported
we openly sent over thousands of MK84 2,000lb bombs that have used to kill thousands of civilians. not really private to be honest

Yeah I know. “Privately” should probably have been “quietly.” Of course you may say it wasn’t quiet, sure, but I think the meaning is clear. Telling them off with the right hand while the left is busy dropping more weapons into their lap. Just enough deniability for anyone who insists the democrats do nothing wrong.

I think the recent lesson the democrats have had about “hard tone” probably would’ve come in handy on Israel negotiations too. Rather than being a fan of murdering kids, I’m guessing Biden very much took a standpoint of “not wanting to upset too many people” when asking them not to bomb hospitals.
For one cause or another, the democratic party needs to find its righteous anger. It needs to risk more possibilities of people shouting back “Hey, you can’t say that!”

No, this narrative about the Democrats being smol beans who didn’t support Israel but are just too gosh darn shy to stop sending them $10,000,000,000s in weapons, deploying Navy carrier groups off the coast, bombing Israel’s enemies, blocking every attempt by the international community to intervene, or repeating and amplifying debunked Israeli propaganda, is just white washing. The Biden administration was run by hard core Zionist true believers, including Biden himself.

I’ll remove my downvote on you if you can show me evidence of the United States (not Israel) piloting bombers against Israel’s enemies, and blocking international interventions, as you claim. Though Israel has done terrible things, the basic principle of subject-verb-predicate interpretation of those statements does not sound at all correct.

They know it is a genocide, they don’t care because they fell for the lies that all Palestinians are Hamas. They don’t call it a genocide because it would make them feel in the wrong, but they believe it is justified to kill every Hamas person. Even if that means they are an Israeli person in Florida who clearly was never part of Hamas, but they thought might look like a Palestinian.
