“From the White House, Biden has dutifully performed various roles to prolong the suffering in Gaza and expand Israeli aggression into a greater Middle East war. These include the roles of frustrated ally to an unhinged maniac, dishonest statesman in ceasefire talks, and loyal arms supplier to a regime of war criminals.
…
If Netanyahu is the monster in this ongoing nightmare, Biden is the mad scientist who keeps him alive.”

@aral what makes it “difficult” is that Iran, Hamas or Hizbollah definitely aren’t good guys either and people saidly excuse a lot of abhorrent behavior when it’s against “bad guys”. Especially in the US. I’m repeating myself here but bad actions of one party don’t excuse worse actions of another. Netanyahu must be stopped if we want any chance of peace and an end to all that killing. The genocide in Gaza is inexcusable. No genocide can be excused.
@martinschlegel Indeed.
@aral it’s the same “black and white, the enemy of my enemy is my friend” thinking that causes some on the left to praise Putin, a borderline fascist authoritarian dictator murdering, invading and torturing all day long, just because those people are against the US imperialism and Putin is against the USA as well. No, just because he criticizes something you criticize as well doesn’t make him a hero and good person.
@martinschlegel Yeah, no, I have no time for tankies either.
