This is not even close to being true.
Protesting genocide and holding the right-wing Israeli Govt accountable for its barbaric behavior is a perfectly rational position to take on.
Biden has made the exact same determination.
They are protesting genocide by calling for a genocide. How does that make sense?

This is another logical reasoning fallacy.
Nobody is calling for genocide of Jewish people.
They are asking that Israel STOP killing women and children in their pursuit of Hamas.
Which is precisely what the US and EU have been telling Israel.
Sure, but protesting genocide of Palestinians by saying āWe are Hamasā is calling for the genocide of Jews, since that is one of the stated goals of Hamas.
This is very true.
The extremists on both sides (Hamas vs Right-Wing Israelis) are now driving the conflict and they do not want it to end.
Wrong. āFrom the river to the seaā is a call for genocide. Hamas is calling for a genocide of Israel - their charter specifically calls for the destruction of Israel.
Biden is a fool who is allowing domestic political considerations lead him into betraying a long standing US ally.
He badly wants a cease fire that lasts at least though the election because his party is splitting over this issue. So he sets āred linesā for our allies and lets Hamas get away with holding US citizens hostage in order to appease the progressives and talks about supporting Israel and its right to defend itself to appease the centrists.
All of this shows weakness to Iran and Hamas. So they press harder forcing Israel to push back. If Biden hadnāt prevented it, it entirely possible that Rafah would have been taken a month ago and the rebuilding could have begun already.
Like Obama said, āDonāt underestimate Joeās ability to fu** things up.ā
Lol you think there is going to be ārebuildingā any time soon?

Biden is costing himself the election. Heās losing voters who support Israel because heās abandoning them now, but heās not doing enough to appease those who support Hamas. The Jewish vote will not be on his side, nor will the Muslim vote.
Since I donāt see a third party candidate I can support, I will likely be voting for Trump, as much as I dislike him.
Iām still holding out hope that he ends up in prison and the Republicans drop him in favor of Haley. Iād be happy to vote for her.

Not as long as Hamas is around. Even if they tried to start rebuilding today, Hamas would steal all the supplies in order to rebuild their tunnels and start a new stockpile of rockets.
Agree about Hamas. They are going to prolong this conflict as long as they can. Problem is you canāt get rid of Hamas unless you want to slaughter everyone. There just arenāt good actors in charge on either side right now. A ceasefire and actual negotiations are the only way forward that doesnāt end in genocide imo.

And then when Hamas inevitably violates the terms of the ceasefire then what?
I donāt see a good way out. I wish I did, but I donāt.
Yeah itās a quandary. Need a non-Hamas Palestinian group in charge that wants to co-exist. Just not sure such a group exists right now. This war is not exactly making the situation any better though.
Yes, when neither side wants peace, war is probably inevitable.
Biden is in a lose-lose. No mater what action he takes, it will make a segment of his voter base unhappy.
However, I am confused. You seem to hope Trump ends up in prison, but you will be voting for him in November anyway? Youāre going to vote for somebody you think should be in prison? Thatās wild.

It is theoretically possible to believe that someone belongs in prison but would still make a less terrible POTUS than the other guy.
I donāt actually think that about Donald Trump, but it isnāt automatically a contradiction.
(And for sure Nikki Haley would make a better President than Donald Trump. Thatās a no brainer. Iād probably vote for her if she were the nominee but since she isnāt I have no choice but to vote for Biden.)
OMG, I just saw this. This is objectively false. Numerous examples have already been provided.
Just because you want to believe that the protests are always 100% peaceful and legal does not mean that they actually are.

As I understand it. Biden is sending all the weapons that Israel needs for defense. What heās been withholding are the large city busting bombs that tend to have a whole lotta collateral damage that Israel wants to use for their offensive on Rafah. I guess youāre in favor of bombing Gaza to rubble?
I donāt know if he belongs in prison or not, but I just want to see a way for Haley to be elected.
The fact that Iād vote for him just shows how low my opinion of Biden is. I think the guy is one of the worst presidents ever.
