Comment on State Department Official Resigns, Says Israel Is Using U.S. Arms to Massacre Civilians in Gaza
Aceticon@lemmy.world 7 months agoI would’ve thought the same about Biden, but seeing not just the continued diplomatic covering being given by the Biden administration to the Fascists in in the Israeli administration after they’ve been full-out acting their fascist fantasies for weeks but even things like the Whitehouse Spokesperson explicitly using the “anti-semite” slander against those critical of said acting out of fascist fantasies by the nation state of Israel, I very much doubt Biden is that kind of leader.
Public Image of celebrities in general is incredibly stage-managed (I’ve known a couple) and that goes even more for Politicians, and clearly that “facet” of Biden is manufactured bollocks.

Unfortunately, it’s just more complicated than that. The Presidency isn’t a movie where you can just follow your heart.
We cannot actually halt the Israeli offensive. So we retain more ability to influence Israel by staying on their side, even if it’s distasteful and unethical. It’s a strategy though, and one that might have better chances of long term peace.
After all, it’s not like Israel would stop attacking if we halted our weapon shipments. They have domestic industry. They could just switch to less precise tools once they run out of JDAMs.
