For one Biden is not as powerful as you think, and denying bombs to Israel comes with its own risk of genocide on the other side of the conflict.

Aside from that, my comment was not in any shape or form related to and likely future. It is completely irrelevant what Biden would or wouldn't do.

It was a piece of fiction. A cynical satirical comment on the SCOTUS decision.

@silkester @h absurd take that Biden doesn't have enough power when US made weapons are what's being used in Gaza. Absurd take to conclude that a power imbalance so extreme one side is able to literally starve the other has the same threat level for conducting genocide. Absurd take to compare the threat level of a hypothetical genocide 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.

Not in an election year. Take a look into history: See Nixon and the Vietnam peace talks, see Reagan and Iran Contra
Plus: Global forces and historical injuries like Stalin almost starting a second holocaust against Jews in Russia when the wounds from the German Holocaust were fresh.Zionists are merciless in Palestine because of their history.
The US just tail tugged left Afghanistan and Trump released the Taliban to boot. Biden followed through because he hardly had any other choice.

@silkester @vex @h Well, anyway, a lot of people were slaughtered in cold blood by remote control. Maybe we can agree on that much. Perhaps with some tweaking of language. Many humans had their lives removed from their bodies by devices operated by technicians. Is that enough passive voice to pass muster as hasbara?

Yes, and Netanjahu used US bomb and could buy those bomb even after the crimes against humanity and genocide was a verifiable allegation.

Biden was still in an impossible situation.

Iran had made it clear it would bomb Israel with its drones. Catch22
