    Biden supports Israel due to long term alliances/treaties.

    That’s not what Biden says…

    He said that when he was a small child and Israel was formed (Biden is literally older than Israel) his dad told him that Israel were the good guys, and had Biden promise to always support them.

    That is why Biden calls himself a Zionist and will always support Israel.

    A promise a toddler made to his farther almost a century ago.

    But hey, that’s just going off what Biden has been saying for decades, and unfortunately we can’t just believe what Biden says. He could be lying or just confused, it’s a coin flip.

      Let’s simplify the situation for you. Israel has been designated as a U.S. Major Non-NATO Ally under U.S. law. So Biden can say whatever he wants. He is compelled, by US law, to support them.

      But you’re right, we should all vote in Cheeto again who definitely would do better in the situation.

      I get it, they’re both shit choices. Spicy Cuttlefish or Vanilla Bean Paste situation.

        I don’t know what would be more ridiculous, that you’re right and once someone is a US ally we have to support anything they do, up to and including genocide…

        Or that you know you’re wrong and rationalizing that hard to defend a genocide.
