    You should be mad that Israel is getting weapons when Ukraine isn’t.

    But not at Biden.

    When it comes to Gaza…

    There is no US President, real or hypothetical, who would stop military support of Israel in the wake of the October 7th attacks. And there is no US President, real or hypothetical, who is going to call for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza before every last Israeli hostage is accounted for.

    Biden’s policies on Israel so far are not far even from someone as left as Bernie Sanders, because rational minds understand that there is no simple solution to middle east peace, nor has there ever been.

    We’d all like to see Hamas release their hostages, and Israel to release those who have been held without due process. We’d all like to see an end to the violence and hostility, and an end to the era where both Israel and Palestine are under the control of fascist authoritarian regimes. Sadly it’s not as simple as sending Jared Kushner over or whatever delusional shit Americans want to come up with next.

    I’d love to see every last dollar of the US defense budget go to whooping Putin’s ass in Ukraine, but that’s also not very realistic.
