There seems to be this thing where the mainstream media tries to appease anti-murder voters by insisting that Joe "I Am A Zionist" Biden is really trying hard to find a solution to this and he'll get there eventually, but in the mean time his hands are tied and he has to keep picking up the tab for Israel. But like, really guys, any minute now he's gonna stop because secretly he agrees with you that this is wrong. He just can't stop now. Like, he could. He could just stop sending them money. But he can't. But he will soon. But not now. Because he can't.

Doesn't congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.

A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.

He bypasses congress to send military aid.

Also how do you get an ethnostate on other peoples land without genocide?

The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.

Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.

Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is no form of Zionism which is not genocidal.

[-] NoneOfUrBusiness@kbin.social 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Zionism needs a Nakba and an Apartheid state, otherwise it wouldn't be Zionism. So no, being Zionist means in one way or another supporting genocide.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 10 months ago

Zionism in 2024 is the belief that nobody other than Ashkenazi Jews are allowed to live in Palestine. However you get to that point, well that's just secularism! /s

Oooooooh I tell you if you keep committing genocide I'm gonna get frustrated! Reeaaal frustrated!

[-] holycrap@lemm.ee 32 points 10 months ago

Is he frustrated with Israel or with the political capital this is costing him?

[-] RedditWanderer@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

These titles always make me imagine Biden waking up one morning in presidential pyjamas saying: oh man, really frustrates me! Anyways...

"Anyways... here's 50 billion dollars to buy more weapons and munitions."

[-] Deceptichum@kbin.social 8 points 10 months ago

Let me just skip congress on this for ya.

C'mon... do something...

[-] PanArab@lemmy.world 21 points 10 months ago

Stop sending weapons then.

[-] rxbudian@lemmy.ca 20 points 10 months ago

It's like telling someone not to gamble while giving him money/credit for the slot machine

When I give my kids a box of chocolates and tell them to take it easy.

Cut the bastard off completely

[-] dyslexicdainbroner@lemmy.world 16 points 10 months ago

Looks like a plastic surgery ad…

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago

With the amount of surgery Biden has had, it could well be

[-] dan42O@infosec.pub 15 points 10 months ago

Strongly worded responses don’t mean anything. I’m looking for threats, nay, just complete cease of any type of support.

[-] Arthur_Leywin@lemmy.world 12 points 10 months ago

Good heavens Biden is frustrated! Oh Lord what's about to happen??!!! 🤯

[-] Heir_Of_Isildur@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

He's about to become dismayed

[-] febra@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago

All for the camera of course. Behind the scenes he doesn't give two craps about whatever Israel does.

[-] ReginaPhalange@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

To those wandering, WE ARE TOO! FUCK HIM SO SO SO MUCH!
WE DON'T WANT TO BE THERE ANYMORE - IT IS VERY UNLIKELY THAT ANY OF THE KIDNAPPED IS STILL ALIVE, AND EQUALLY UNLIKELY THAT HAMAS WOULD AGREE TO A DEAL. HAMAS WILL TAKE A FUCKING DECADE TO RE-ARM ITSELF , WE HAVE TOTALLY REACHED THE "IT'S POINTLESS" STAGE.

FUUUUCKKK THIS GUY AND FUCK THE ASSHOLES THAT CHOSE THOSE EXTREMELY RIGHTWING NUTJOBS

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

"don't. stop. you don't need all those carbs. that cheesecake was for everyone..."

[-] LaoisheFu@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

He must be exploding with frustration; every second article about him is about his growing frustration. It must be frustrating to be that frustated.
