    It would even be so rhetorically easy for him to reverse at this point:

    My fellow Americans. I have said that the United States will always stand with Israel, and I have meant it whenever I said it. And in the same way that loving a friend sometimes means intervening when you see that friend doing something self-destructive, I have made the decision that now, standing with Israel means trying to save them from this violent and self-destructive course that they have set themselves on.

    Anything like that. It would be so easy. The only logical conclusion is that he genuinely supports the genocide.

    The first sentence of the last paragraph actually made me chuckle.

    The letter also calls on Garland to investigate the thousands of U.S. citizens currently serving in the Israel Defense Forces for potential war crimes. A spokesperson for the Justice Department confirmed that the letter was received but declined to comment further. A Defense Department spokesperson referred questions to the White House.

    I imagine this kind of thing has happened over other American wars as well. I am not too hopeful about it changing much unfortunately. Of course Biden and the ghouls know they are breaking the law. They also understand that “the law” does not exist to restrain the government.

  • You can always argue with an old fool and his imperial government of Der Westliche Kapital, on how it’s bad optics to commit a genocide, or how it diverts funds from better national investments, like healthcare…

    But, in the end, they know what they’re doin’, it speaks for themselves…
