It absolutely is, you kept bringing up the subjective vs. objective argument.

The objective truth is the legal rulings from the ICC court cited above.

Your subjective notion of what’s “philosophically true” cannot be objectively proven one way or the other. That’s the very nature of philosophy.

I gave you the citations from Biden stating his reasoning, I gave you the ruling from the ICC. These are all the legal standings surrounding Biden’s support of Israel.

If you want the objective truth, you have it, quoted and sourced. If you choose to reject it, well, I can’t help you with that.

“AHHH-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!”

Yeah, I could see that.

I’d add the Sten Mk II S. :)

Hard to beat the Wolfenstein games and the Indiana Jones movies.

“it passed with 263 votes in favor to 156 against, with 14 members not voting.”

So 43 Democrats voted for it? More or less depending on who the non-voters are.

Philosophy doesn’t enter into it, this is about legal liability and the facts are right behind what I’m telling you. Quoted, cited facts.

I’m not asking you to LIKE it. But you have to accept the reality that only a very small fringe believes Biden is to blame for this.

Not wrong, but Substack blogs are not news sources.

Again, not subjective. The ICC has charged Israel, not the United States, not Biden.

If the US were to blame for the Genocide, the ICC would have charged Biden right alongside Netanyahu just like they charged Putin over Ukraine, they did not.

But, like I say, it doesn’t really matter as the ICC rulings have no enforcement. Would be nice!

The fact of the matter is that Israel is (correctly) being blamed by the ICC, NOT America.

Not that it matters what the ICC says anyway, but that’s an entirely different problem.

The real problem is Israel doesn’t need our help exterminating Gazans, they never have. They didn’t need our help starting the blockade back in the 90s, they didn’t need our help killing people immediately following Oct. 7, and their snipers don’t need our help killing kids today in violation of the cease fire.

The notion that it would have all stopped except for Biden’s aid is a child-like understanding of what’s been happening over there and the knee-jerk lemmy reaction of “US bad”.

That doesn’t work as a matter of international law.

For example, we have had multiple instances where we provided civil aid to a country only to have it confiscated and misappropriated by a corrupt government, that doesn’t mean we stop sending aid.

Again, what Donald Trump does, inside the US, is NOT World News.

It’s not subjective. Biden’s opinion on Israel is matter of fact stated and quoted multiple times.

Subjectively, I find it incredibly naive (especially for a President), but it’s not the same as Biden dropping the bombs himself which is how the “buh buh gEnOcIdE!” folks are playing it.

In the end, we now have a President whose only opinion* is Israel didn’t commit the genocide fast enough.

“They’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”

That’s what a pro-genocide President looks like.

* That’s unfair, he’s also of the opinion that a ruined Gaza is a great beachfront development opportunity.

No, I’m saying Biden stated, repeatedly, he was providing support for the legitimate defense of Israel, for which he was a full supporter.

What Israel chose to do with that aid is on THEM, not Biden.

What Reddit does with twitter links is not world news.

Nope, I remove misinformed comments and temp ban repeat violators.

You are correct, Israel is engaging in Genocide, Biden was not. His opinions on Israel were naive and outdated, but not genocidal.

Not sure how that’s supposed to fly with posse comitatus but there you go! Maybe immigration isn’t considered “domestic policy”? 🤔
