      Talking to reporters, Haley was unapologetic, criticising Joe Biden’s administration for temporarily withholding weapons as a means of discouraging an Israeli attack on the southern Gaza city of Rafah, and aiming barbs at the international criminal court (ICC) – which is seeking Netanyahu’s arrest – and the international court of justice (ICJ), which is considering charges of genocide against Israel.

      “What America needs to understand is if Israel’s fighting our enemies, how can we not help them,” said Haley, whose missile message also carried the words “America loves Israel”.

      “The sure way to not help Israel is to withhold weapons. The sure way to not help Israel is to praise the ICC, the ICJ or any of those that are condemning Israel instead of condemning what happens.

      “America needs to do whatever Israel needs and stop telling them how to fight this war. You are either a friend or not a friend.”

        She reminds me of an alcoholic friend I had in college. Telling you to stop doesn’t mean I hate you. It means you’re making bad decisions.

      Propagandists are so funny. It’s like…. You make shit up that can’t be proven, verified, or is otherwise even remotely realistic, and then you pretend it’s real to the point that you’re willing to argue it online with total strangers.

      It’s blows my mind how this is done.

          I never said he was a great candidate. I simply said that propagandists seem to have it out for Biden.

          Surprising they’re always silent with their criticism of anything from the right.

          Ever wonder why?

              But you really don’t know that there are no non choir members reading. I think the proportion of right wingers on the fediverse has shot up in the last year.

                No, I don’t. But we don’t have proof either way. Conservatives usually get a type of sickness if everyone around them does not think the same way.

                Hopefully, Halely self reflects and figures out why she is a running [get it] joke. But let’s be real, she’ll probably never change.

            Everyone on this site thinks that the GOP of 2024 is a fascist party and that Trump is worse than Biden

      I’m not defending Biden, but the view that Trump would be any less prepared to keep sending Israel weapons is utterly baseless. He wouldn’t even pretend to care about the Palestinians, for one thing.

      Ok, but Trump literally said he deports anybody who protests Israel

      How is this better than Joe, who says that Isreal will lose us support if they don’t stop and prioritize civilian safety in their attacks?

      Joe Biden is a lot more efficient at getting weapons Israel needs for their genocide than Trump ever will be.

      Anybody out there who can vet this? Cuz if I wanted a twice-impeached president victory I think I would post:

      45 is a lot more efficient at getting weapons Israel needs for their genocide than Biden ever will be.

        the point is not to make more people vote trump (everyone who is morally bankrupt enough will do that anyway)

        the point is FUD, so that biden voters stay home (good for trump) or vote 3rd party (which would be valid if it weren’t a first past the post system)

          The point might actually be to sink Biden’s approval rating so low that he’s forced to reverse course on the specific thing making him unpopular and less likely to win.

        Russia only cares about two of them. One of them is reliant on a Trump victory, and the other is to ensure it happens.
