    but neither Biden nor Harris are the ones out there targeting individuals or pulling triggers.

    Isn’t this pres admin breaking US law to send even more weapons for the genocide?

    You use “oh it is just iron dome stuff” rhetoric but that’s not true, and even if it was, a defensive system lets them take violent actions with less worry of retaliation

        Did you read the article because your response article doesn’t really address it, or the moral culpability of it either

        Like, is the argument you’re making that congress also approves of giving weapons to allow genocide, so it is fine actually?

          The argument was that Biden was illegally supplying weapons, which was true when he side-stepped Congress to do it.

          Once Congress approved of it, the support became 100% legal.

          Legality has nothing to do with morality.

            No, the argument was that he was so enthusiastic about genocide that he was willing to break the law to be a vital part of it.

              Man I wish you were around when Regan was doing this secretly, maybe if more people had their panties in a twist back then, this wouldn’t be business as usual today.

              Biden is not “enthusiastic about genocide”, he believes, rightly, that Israel has the right to defend itself from attacks, which they do. That’s the source of Biden’s support for Israel.

                Israel has the right to defend itself from attacks

                Is killing hundreds of thousands of civilians with something like 70 percent women/children casualties defending itself? If genocide is required to defend itself, it should be destroyed.

                Also, Palestinians have a right to armed resistance against an occupying force in accordance with international law. Do you support the United Front’s right to defend itself against Israel?
