    He must be exploding with frustration; every second article about him is about his growing frustration. It must be frustrating to be that frustated.

    Is he frustrated with Israel or with the political capital this is costing him?

    All for the camera of course. Behind the scenes he doesn’t give two craps about whatever Israel does.

    Honestly, dissing Bibi is practically a national pastime in Israel now.

    But that doesn’t mean there’s any consensus there for peace and reconciliation They’re scared, and frightened people don’t always do what’s right. We should be able to relate, considering what we did after 9/11.

    Palestinians are scared too, with good reason.

    And fear, as always, is the mindkiller.

    Obviously Biden knows his private grumblings will be made public. That White House only leaks when he wants it to. Feature, not bug.

    There seems to be this thing where the mainstream media tries to appease anti-murder voters by insisting that Joe “I Am A Zionist” Biden is really trying hard to find a solution to this and he’ll get there eventually, but in the mean time his hands are tied and he has to keep picking up the tab for Israel. But like, really guys, any minute now he’s gonna stop because secretly he agrees with you that this is wrong. He just can’t stop now. Like, he could. He could just stop sending them money. But he can’t. But he will soon. But not now. Because he can’t.

      Doesn’t congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.

      A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.

        Zionism in 2024 is the belief that nobody other than Ashkenazi Jews are allowed to live in Palestine. However you get to that point, well that’s just secularism! /s

        The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.

        Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.

        Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is no form of Zionism which is not genocidal.

        Zionism needs a Nakba and an Apartheid state, otherwise it wouldn’t be Zionism. So no, being Zionist means in one way or another supporting genocide.

          Don’t alter the headline. He bypasses Congress by not sending aid but rather by selling the weapons. Israel is paying for it, even if it’s wholesale prices on ammunition components.

              It’s literally not, like actually. Google it.

              That said, dude didn’t illegally bypass Congress, they gave the president that authority in the 70s and expanded upon it under bush. I don’t agree with it, I think he shouldn’t have done it and that it shouldn’t even be possible. It is absolutely something to legitimately critique Biden for, but it is not bypassing congress in some loophole thing.

                It literally is, like materially. My point wasnt that he is doing something illegal, my point is that he is aiding Israel by giving them bombs at discount prices.
