    Criticizing Biden is fine. There’s more nuance to what I’m saying than that. The phrase “genocide joe” illustrates it perfectly for me. A weird trump-style nickname that is supposed to pin the whole thing on him. He should act very differently, but that doesn’t make it entirely a Biden thing.

      Fwiw I try to not say that phrase myself anymore and instead if I bring it up ill say financier of genocide, because thats more direct, less charged and not nearly as debatable as the other one, So I’m not gonna argue against distaste for the nickname, but personally I’m neutral to it which could be why I end up on the ‘other side’ of some of these discussions. I guess I just feel like some people need to hear that, but I also recognize that not everyone is going to take it with enough nuance for it to be good.

      Ignore this person. They claim they have no power over Netanyahu, but want Biden to change his stance on Israel. Why? Because it will influence Netanyahu!

      They are either someone who doesn’t understand their own motivations or a troll. Neither one is worth arguing with.

        There’s a concept called power mapping which can inform you on where you should put your attention if you want to effect change. For Americans without Israeli citizenship, they will get nowhere asking Bibi to stop, that time is wasted. If I had all the time in the world yeah I’d yell about everyone. But I don’t, so to be effective I have to focus on what I can change, thats Biden.

      Remember, you voted for genocide, you’re voting for more genocide, and you think I’m a Nazi for not wanting to vote for genocide
