    Since Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, Biden has bypassed Congress twice to send weapons to Israel and has also asked lawmakers to approve a $14 billion supplemental aid package for the country.

    It’s still not as much damage as trump would likely have caused, but it’s fucked up he’s our only other choice.

    And all this stupid shit is going to depress turnout and that’s the only way Republicans can win.

          well, and palestinians.

          and plenty of others. like west yemen civilians who were in the wrong place at the wrong time the other week.

          and the two workers at the damascus airport last month, plus others at the aleppo airport in december, thanks to both exponential aid and the ongoing normalization of this unacceptable response.

          and whatever is sure to follow the in the wake of the next escalation.

          If enough people stand up and say “Hey that shit ain’t gonna work. Be with us or burn with us.” People will fucking change their minds.

          Hell CNN just did a report with a whole bunch of people who died while waving white flags.

          One of them was holding her four year old grandson’s hand and just didn’t turn fast enough, she was 58.

          She was turning when they shot her.

          It’s still unclear why the whole group of them turned so quickly down another street from what I can understand from the article, but they came from the north heading south, and then at the intersection everybody change direction damn near the same time to head east, like a school of fish, and she was just a little too slow turning.

          There were Israeli troops and/or tanks to both the west and south.

          The video is… disturbing to say the least.
