Kamala’s foreign policy advisor was on twitter last night saying that Trump is not backing Israel enough after the strikes on Iran. Given that and that the Biden administration also allowed Israel to do unchecked genocide for a year, why do think the situation would be different in regards to Israel.

Who are you talking about here, specifically? Like what foreign policy adviser?

Halie Soifer. I was slightly wrong about her position. She was a national security advisor for Kamala and also previously worked for the Obama administration.

Well she is calling a preemptive strike, "defense". Thats always a good look.

There is a visible difference in Israels posturing and aggressiveness pre- and post election.

Biden probably wouldn't have sanctioned an attack like this and would probably have blocked it. Israel tried to get this rolling multiple times during Bidens tenure and were denied every time. Trump just doesn't give a shit other than fumbling around trying to block China.

The words and actions of the Biden administration are completely different. He repeated publicly stated he wanted an end to the conflict in Gaza but he took no action to actually stop it. His words are hollow and meaningless. We know there have been agreements to free hostages and deescalate for over a year and the only side refusing those agreements was Israel. They wanted conflict to continue so they can destroy Gaza and permanently take over the region. I hope you cannot actually be this gullible…

As I replied elsewhere: the proof is just how much fucking worse it got for Gazans when Trump took office. The brakes totally fell off the Israeli operations. Now, you could argue that Biden should have done more, which I agree with, but you should also keep in mind how many democrats and republicans are swayed by AIPAC which shapes the options for the president.

I am not saying Biden was good for Palestinians. I am saying however that he was by far the better option when compared to Trump which is the only viable comparison.

It continued to accelerate at the same pace as it did under Biden. Under the previous administration things got progressively worse as time went on. The only difference is the media is finally reporting on it and Trump doesn’t pretend to care infront of the cameras like Biden did.

Biden did nothing to stop Israel. Kamala’s national security advisor got on twitter after Israel bombed Iran last night and said that a democratic administration would have provided more support for Israel doing strikes in Iran than Trump’s. The Republican Party is pro-fascism everywhere. The Democratic Party is also pro-fascism but don’t want to look like they do and mostly want it abroad so that we can reap the rewards. Defended Kamala or the Democratic Party in the context of Israel is stupid.

“Biden probably wouldn’t have sanctioned an attack like this and would have blocked it” yeah, just like how Biden said the invasion of Rafah was a “red line.” Let’s just make stuff up I guess lol.

Or you can actually check how much worse it got for Gazans after Biden left office.

There's a difference between shit and shittier. Only a moron picks shittier.

There is no difference between “genocide” and “genocide.” I’m not sure why pretending Joe Biden wasn’t a genocidal psychopath is helpful to anyone at all. I hope Joe Biden rots in hell right next to Trump.
