It's not really up to Joe Biden though at the end of the day

Ah yes israel committing Genocide is actually Hamas' fault.

I think they assumed that Israel wouldn't be so bloodthirsty as to put the hostages at risk, which would give them a bargaining position so that once they weathered the initial retaliation they would be able to get concessions such as allowing Palestinians to leave Gaza, ending the blockade of Gaza's ports, ending Israeli control of Gazan water sources, etc.

But as we've all learned since then the IDF has an explicit policy to kill Israeli civilians if it looks like they're about to be captured, and Israel's political leadership simply aren't put off by the possibility of killing every single remaining hostage in their campaign to flatten Gaza.

What I find laughable are all the Americans who I watched demand the deaths of Muslims and Arabs from decades, suddenly want to play the moral paragons and defenders of Palestine. Americans fucked my country too and they just move on to the next outrage, without apologizing, making amends or anything. They wreck half the world, then turn around and moralize to us.

The fact that this has as many downvotes as upvotes makes me want to avoid anything political on lemmy, and go back to just shitposting about Linux distros.
