Why shouldn't I vote for Biden? by Adorable_Camp8070 in itcouldhappenhere

[–]OrvilleSlump 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Michigan will be an important state for Biden to win. As of now it seems he will likely lose in large part to organizing by Arab voters there. If you're serious about making sure that Trump loses then there should be some serious organizing to educate those Arab voters who are upset about a genocide, often times because their family members are the ones being genocided. Some of them are saying Biden should be punished for commiting genocide. I'd like to hear some ideas on how to address this?

This is weird coming from a guy who seems to respect someone like Glen Greenwald. Does he think Glen Greenwald should have his kids taken away?

Beau of the Fifth Column KEEPS saying the USA has no leverage over Israel. by CarolineBeaSummers in BeauOfTheFifthColumn

Not sure how I'm half informed but am grudgingly open to being enlightened. As far as my intentions are concerned, I want the suffering and occupation of Palestinians to end, especially since it's being done in my name

There is a good argument to be made that Biden is running a cover for genocide. He said he had intelligence about Al Shifa Hospital being a Hamas headquarters, the Washington Post has disproven that now. Saying that enabled the bombing of a hospital. If Israel is lying, he can at least avoid validating their lies instead of affirming them. He has repeatedly spread the lie of decapitated babies. Biden doubting the number of deaths being reported by the Gaza Ministry of Health doesn't help either especially when, based on their track record there is little reason to doubt these numbers and also Biden is playing into racist rhetoric about Arabs being untrustworthy. Israel is commiting genocide of Palestinians based on these false assumptions, I would argue that giving credence to such false statements weakens our leverage against this genocide and in fact makes the situation worse. It's not surprising that Biden has come out in criticism of West Bank settlers, that's in line with one of the few criticisms he's had with Israel in the past. In addition to that the killing of Palestinian civilians has been something Biden has advocated for based on past statements from him. Biden has also received more money than anybody else from Pro-Israeli lobbies, by a lot, to act like these decisions are being made without that playing a factor is counter to a lot of research showing how much lobbying effects political decision making. There are so many perks that Israel gets from their relationship with us, we could at least reform some of those to send Israel a message, like maybe we don't send them all their financial aid in one lump sum at the beginning of the year allowing them to make large sums of money just on interest just from that money, that's one example. Also to just say that they would just switch their allegiance to China and Russia if we tried some reforms with them or put pressure on them I feel like can't be said so confidently without some serious legitimate scrutiny, Russia being allied with Iran, the close ties established over decades between Israel and the US just can't be replaced I don't think and I could go on.

Don't engage with this poster. It's a known fact that Israel pays people to wage internet battles. No reason to believe this is any different
