Israel cut ties with UNWRA, attacked the West Bank and Lebanon, and announced a pending “complete evacuation” of northern Gaza earlier this week.

    Ok?

    As late as July 2024, the press was reporting that Trump was in regular talks with Netanyahu. At some point before the election, they reported that Democratic politicians felt Netanyahu was purposefully escalating the war in the ME and sabotaging the peace talks to hurt Biden/Harris and help Trump, a candidate with much friendlier Israeli foreign policies (and similar political mindset).

    I see an article from The Hill and that’s literally the first paragraph. The article is dated Oct. 4, 2024.

    Democrats increasingly suspect Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is trying to interfere in U.S. domestic politics by ignoring President Biden’s calls to negotiate a peace deal in Gaza and by confronting Hezbollah and Iran weeks before the U.S. election.

    On Oct. 7, 2024, Reuters reported that Harris stated in an interview she wasn’t worries about Trump’s talk’s with Netanyahu, literally just giving the answer “No,” and reiterating her Middle East policy.

    So the grand move was to keep unconditionally supporting a fascist world leader’s genocide while he sabotages your ceasefire/peace efforts and your campaign while openly meeting with your fascist opponent, all while your base is saying to stop unconditionally supporting the fascist world leader?

    Is there a big brain, 4D chess move I’m missing here? I understand AIPAC and the Jewish and Israeli communities are an important demographic for the DNC, but come on… How is this not “Leopards wouldn’t eat my face” from the people always screaming about leopards eating faces?

      Other than the obvious ignoring of Biden in what you quoted (he ignored Biden so it’s Bidens fault?), how do you think Trump will be in any way better?

        I didn’t say Trump would be better, and you didn’t answer my question or address how Biden and Harris’ foreign policy regarding Israel made any sense.

        I said Harris and Biden showed unconditional support to a fascist leader (Netanyahu) despite the fact that Netanyahu:

        • Was openly working with Trump, their fascist opponent,

        • Was believed to be actively working to sabotage the ceasefire/peace talks by elected members of their own party to help get their fascist opponent elected,

        • Is actively committing a genocide in Palestine, as well as attacking Lebanon and Iran, which Biden has not once stopped unconditionally supporting (and Harris indicated she would do the same) despite vocal opposition from their voting base,

        • Continues to receive unconditional support in the UN under the Biden administration despite the international community calling for investigations into Israeli government leadership and their genocide, war crimes, illegal settlements, etc.

        So, once again, tell me what the big-brain move here was for Biden and Harris to rail against fascism while unconditionally supporting a fascist actively committing a genocide that their voting base has show vocal opposition to for over a year?

        You can’t rail against a fascist, while unconditionally supporting a fascist, and then be surprised when people stay home because they think their choices are fascism-express (Trump) or fascism-ground (Harris/Biden).

          I’m not going to debate with you on this, especially if you just want to ignore my original point. You’ve already been banned from communities because you can’t grasp anything other than your keyboard anger.

          Have a good one.

            Because you’re wrong and can’t.

            And yeah, wonder myself and other leftists are angry over being blamed for y’all refusing to work with us.

            Enjoy losing 2028. Was that calm enough? 🖕

            Edit: and I’ve addressed your original point, multiple times, by the way. Learn to read, and maybe learn to think.

                Lmao, sorry they couldn’t handle the truth, just like you, bud.

                Keep plugging your ears and telling the electorate their wrong, maybe you and the DNC will lose another 11 million Dem votes with your Republican-lite policy platforms.

                Why don’t y’all get ahead of the ball for once and start blaming leftists now for your losses in 2026 and 2028? It’d be the first time the DNC was progressive in my lifetime.
