US Vice President Kamala Harris said the US has not made any decision to halt or condition military aid to Israel, despite expressing concern over Israel’s invasion of Rafah, which...
That's not a conspiracy theory.
i fucking hate this. i’ve not so lucidly clicked the idea together before that world leaders would and have prolonged conflict, suffering and death abroad for meager and ephemeral political points back home. what a disaster we are as a species.
Consisparcy theroy is honestly a meaningless term these days. Like legitimate historical facts are grouped in with deranged rants. But with so much misinformation, propaganda and biased reporting its understandable. I don't really have a point or suggestion, just lamenting how it can mean everything or nothing.
He'll literally never condem Israel's actions.
Biden has spent literally half a century saying that nothing Israel ever does would make him support them less.
And he's not changing something like that at 81 years old
why do you think they are making the vicepresidente say these things? They want to detach Biden as much as possible
Once again, it has to be said that Trump is much worse. Anyone who single-issue votes purely on Gaza is an idiot and part of the problem with this country.
People withholding their vote from a bad candidate. Yeah...THAT'S the problem with the US😂.
I mean, if there were a single issue to decide a vote, seems like entheusiastic genocide support would be high up there. But what do I know...
Maybe I am an idiot who thinks that democracy means that the government represents the people. If the 2 historical gangs no longer represent the people then vote for another party or entity that does.
Why are you afraid of trying what democracy meant to be?
The US: hey Israel, you doing a genocide? Here's money with no strings or requirements attached!!!
This a huge win for white supremacist and antisemitic conspiracy theorists.
Lets not pretend like white supremacy isn't in open support for genociding brown people and western governments being full of closeted white supremacists
That’s how you change a Biden vote to a vote for no one. Need to stop funding that genocide stuff
Would you regret voting for no one if Trump ends up winning and escalates the genocide even further?
If the choices are "enthusiastic genocide" and "genocide with some light tut-tutting", then democracy failed.
Democracy didn't fail us, corporate media fucked us.
A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it's as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.
No. Fuck the DNC and corporate democrats for putting everyone in this extortion position. Stop blaming people for what government itself is creating. Stop this bullshit
Yeah nothing you said there made any sense and Trump will offer to have the 6th fleet glass Gaza on his 3rd day in office, but you said it with absolute conviction so you must be right .
I don’t have anymore clown makeup to put on, but you keep on and dismiss the potential non pro genocide voters that could easily be won over by not aiding this bullshit
So just to confirm, you're okay with abandoning Ukraine to its fate as well, then, if the outcome of the election doesn't matter?
Who is "we"? Are you speaking to what Biden is personally endorsing, or the right-wingers in congress who are currently trying to put their Russia-worshipping messiah back in the white house?
You cannot use the royal we to say it's their fault if Trump does something, and then say "who is we"...
Fucking pathetic, boy. Grow a fucking spine and stand on morals, not a predisposition.
Check yourself for a fucking second. Do you understand how the US political system works?
Aid to Ukraine is being held back because Congress is controlled by a needle thin deadlock of Republican influence. That is something that can literally change overnight if one of the old fucks on the Republican side suddenly croaks. If an aid package for Ukraine ends up on Biden's desk tomorrow, it will be signed and passed, end of story. Slava Ukraini.
Under a Republican presidency, that is not going to happen, and no amount of "muh principles" will fix that for another 4 years. The Democrats can retake Congress, but Trump will never agree to sign an aid package for Ukraine even if a perfect bill were to pass through the political circus. But sure, maybe Trump will do a complete 180° and start treating Arabs like people so you can feel good about standing up to Israel for a moment, even if it means enabling the rise of fascism in the US.
Get your head out of the fucking clouds and look around at the world for a second, "boy" (fucking racist dog whistle that is, by the way).
Im speaking materially. The US is no longer funding Ukraine. If words from Biden were enough, they wouldn't have just lost a city to Russian presence, but they did.
Biden is advocating for Ukraine and has been pushing for aid to be passed. Biden is not the one who made the call to deny Ukraine aid. When the chief barrier to that happening is conservatives in power, why would increasing the number of conservatives in power fix that?
If Trump is in the white house, you can have a democratic controlled Congress that is willing to push through the much needed relief for Ukraine, and it will be vetoed every time because that's what Daddy Vladdy wants.
If the US completely cut off aid to Israel it would make 0 difference. We should cut them off foreign aid since they don't need it, as they are definitely a rich country, but they have tons of money and even if they didn't the current leadership in Israel would spend whatever they had. I don't think that anything short of a hostile invasion will get Israel to stop but I'd love to be wrong.
With that being said Congress - not the president - allocates this money. Look at how many votes Bernie's bill to attempt to put restrictions on that aid got, neither party is going to do more than agitate people online about it.
This is the first Harris news I have EVER heard and it just says "US Vice President" is she like a ghost or something and we can't say her name 3 times
It's looks to be a middle eastern website and the very first sentence of the article is
US Vice President Kamala Harris said...
By the time the next president is sworn into office, I feel like the genocide will be over, considering they are targeting Rafah which is quite literally the last stand for Gazans since they are backed up to the wall against Egypt's border.
There's no way Biden is winning this election on "not Trump"
If this is your only response to people righteously furious that "Our" person is single-handedly enabling a genocide to take place, well, you have bigger problems then just Trump.
God I wanted this to be fake so badly. NBC certainly doesn't make corroboration easy to find either. But at the end of their Ukraine segment on February 17th (18th?) they confirm it right before transitioning to the next segment. Talk about trying to bury the story.
Heh your response to Hamas is over the top, but by all means feel free to continue and also please take our money
And everyone who is part of that administration should be called out for it by the people and try in Den-Hague for the genocide.
And what about nearly every single member of Congress? How about Republicans supporting Russia's war against Ukraine?
That is not how the world works. Unless by this logic you also consider it to steal from me, by not giving to me, in which case you could stop stealing 10.000 $ from me by sending them to me.
