    Biden: We’ve been reluctantly supporting a very close ally, but it’s gone too far, and now we’re publicly condemning while admittedly still funding them. It’s a complicated situation, and I’m a cautious centrist.

    Trump: Why are there still buildings standing in Gaza? That won’t happen on my watch. May as well wipe out the West Bank while we’re at it.

    For the life of me, I can’t tell the difference. I have no idea who to vote for to help the Palestinians.

      There is no one to vote for to help the Palestinians.

      The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.

      If the status quo of famine is allowed to continue, there will be no Gazans left to bomb when Trump is sworn in on Jan 2025.

        The only hope for Gaza is for Biden to change course and use his significant leverage to convince Bibi to end the blockade.

        Five months and almost 31,000 Palestinian deaths later, he’s still just wagging his finger and sending even more arms to Israel.

        We might as well just wait for the Pope to shit in the woods.

        Edit: Here’s the most likely reason for the downvotes.

          People in northern Gaza have described in detail about their decline.

          In the first month or two, they ate the remaining food and slaughtered the animals. Then they ate animal feed for months. When that was gone, they ate bird seed. Now with nothing left, they eat grass.

          When it’s only grass, people start to die. Children and elderly first. And that is the stage of famine we are at now.

          People can survive a long time on very low food. But they can’t survive forever.

            So all 2.3 million people in Gaza ignored the first evacuation orders and warnings and instead of going South, they all went to north Gaza where they proceeded to eat all the food and are now starving to death, and despite only 30,000 deaths in four months, you believe that this month there will be 230,000, and that figure will continue for the next ten months in a row? I don’t know sort of seems like you’re exaggerating Israel’s actions to portray Jews as evil.

            If the total death toll doesn’t increase by eightfold in the next month will that be sufficient evidence that claims of ethnic cleansing and weaponized starvation are highly exaggerated?

          What about his actions? How many bombs used in this genocide were sent by the US?

            We live in a democracy. Maybe you’re thinking of the Arab states surrounding Israel, where one guy decides everything?

            We don’t send bombs to Israel because they need them to kill Hamas. Israel makes all the weapons they need to do that without America. It is a nuclear power. America sends weapons to Israel because of the threat of Iran. And it’s not going to stop doing that because of a local land dispute. Our alliance with Israel is about avoiding a war with Iran, which would result in tens of millions of deaths.

            10,000,000 > 30,000. Simple as that.
