    It is absolutely a blatant falsehood because Biden is on the public record over and over advocating a cease fire and a two-state solution.

    Ok so now a politician stating something is true makes it true?

    Are you listening to yourself?

      As a matter of public policy, yes, it’s 100% true and the fact that he got a cease fire done the last day of his administration proves that.

        Apply this viewpoint to literally anything Trump says. It’s nonsense. Are you going to moderate someone saying “Trump doesn’t care about the environment”? He said his first administration’s priority was to “have the cleanest air”. That’s his policy, right?

          Precisely, I hate Trump and I don’t use the word “hate” lightly here, I reserve it only for people who hurt, kill and maim others en masse with their use of power.

          I will resist people like Trump, JD Vance, Steve Bannon, rightwing fascists and most pathetic of all, the grovelling bro-ligarchs…till the day I die.

          …but this…this is scary, step away from this ledge of playing a part in silencing discussion on the unimaginable attrocity of the Palestinian Genocide as we in the international community (including US) are just now starting to see the full extent of the horror.

          People will hopefully write books about this for the rest of our lives, we will all have a much greater chance of actually embodying the kindness and integrity we hope to embody if we begin to have a serious, difficult conversation NOW or we risk losing ourselves to the slow creep (until it isn’t) of hate and oblivion.
