Biden’s renewed embrace of Israel threatens to deepen Democratic divide
Iran’s attack may give the president a reason to return to his default position of ‘ironclad’ Israeli support – could that hurt him in November?
Aiding genocide is a bad look
Edit: who would have thought that statement was controversialThis community has a lot of pro-genocide centrists.
No, cmon, please, living through significant impactful history is exhausting. We don’t want to do it anymore. Please just stop.
"May you live in interesting times."
In the DNC boardroom: "What can we possibly do to help Trump so we can go on vacation again? Ooohh! I know! Let's go in halvsies on a genocide!"
Fuck Israel.

Donate to legal funds for those who get captured by police on April 15th or get your ass to a demonstration. This needs to stop.
If Biden starts a war with Iran, he needs to drop out of the race. He won’t possibly be able to win.
The options for Dems will be to find another candidate or throw their support behind Bobby Kennedy. Otherwise, it’s Trump.
Why can’t we replace Biden with Bernie instead? Kennedy is a nut job.
I'd like to vote Bernie in the general. I'd like it better about 8 years ago.
He's 8 years older than he was then. I think that's part of why he doesn't run. He wants the younger generation to take it up.
I really hope they do. The current set of democrats risk allowing the Republicans to get a solid foothold across demos that, normally, wouldn't be as split.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
As Gaza’s death toll climbs and famine looms, criticism of Israel’s conduct of the war has been growing from the left and even the centre, with some calling for an end to US arms supplies.
This pressure, and the recent deaths of World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza, seemed to finally prompt a shift in Biden’s tone.
The Democratic senator John Fetterman, no friend of pro-Palestinian protesters, told CNN’s State of the Union: “It really demonstrates how it’s astonishing that we are not standing firmly with Israel and there should never be any kinds of conditions on all of that.
Amid the drumbeat for rallying against a common foe, Democrats who call for military aid to be conditioned will be accused of tone deaf appeasement.
On Sunday, the Washington news agenda was dominated by speculation over Biden can dissuade Netanyahu from striking back – “Take the win,” he reportedly said – and prevent a wider regional war, and whether Congress might now pass military aid for both Israel and Ukraine.
Gaza – where Israel’s offensive has killed at least 33,729 people, mostly women and children, according to the territory’s Hamas-run health ministry – was no longer uppermost in the thoughts of politicians or the journalists who interview them.
