• What makes all of this worse to me is that, as someone who voted Democrat, I did my part to make the ethnic cleansing possible. I am tacitly responsible in part for putting my own tiny stamp of approval on it.

    Republicans would have done exactly the same, because regardless of what they say, both of the ruling parties and our international representatives historically have voted in whatever way Israel wants them to, but it takes a special kind of asshole to continue doing so when the ethnic cleansing is being shamelessly broadcast 24 hours a day.

    • No, Republicans would have done worse. They would have likely encouraged Bibi to go hard instead of pushing the brakes on him to slow him down.

      I heard a recent argument by Chris Hedges that Biden should be punished for his aiding of the killing of civilians, by voting for Trump. While that has logical basis in that you should be punished for doing this, the punishment is very likely going result in even more dead people. And for me it means that, somewhat paradoxically, voting Democrat is still “the right thing” to do.

    • Yep Americans have a choice between the party that aggressively cheerleads and gloats while doing everything in their power to enable Israeli war crimes, and the party that “expresses concerns” and “calls for moderation” while doing everything in their power to enable Israeli war crimes.
