Biden administration dramatically softens the sanctions it imposed on the seven Israelis from the Israel Defense Forces and makes it clear that they will be able to use their bank accounts.

Damn, you must've dug deep for that scathing nickname - but do you seriously think I'm wrong?

It doesn't matter what could have happened, who could have done what, the situation is that your choices are Biden or Trump, and one of those is a whole lot worse than the other, despite what some other people commenting on this post think.

Trump has literally done nothing as remotely as evil as Biden's relentless support of Israel's genocide. Would it be worse under Trump? Potentially, but Trump isn't president right now

The word you're looking for there is "yet", and that "yet" would be doing a whole lot of heavy lifting.

I'll defer back to my initial comment - if you want to let Trump in and find out, you'd better be ready to shut it when he does worse.

You cannot beat anyone over the head with a moral cudgel when you are supporting genocide. Period. Frankly, supporting Biden -- perhaps the most ardent Zionist in American politics -- is so morally despicable that it makes me feel physically ill. If you the status quo is acceptable to you, then by all means continue giving it your approval.

Don't you fucking dare, however, suggest that people refusing to hand their vote to that evil cretin are somehow the ones OK with what's going on in Palestine.
