It's honestly insulting that they're still lying to us about not actually egging on Israel behind the scenes. Also telling of which country Biden and Blinken think is more important. They tell the truth to them and lie about what they're saying to us. No party has ever deserved to lose an election more than the genocidal DNC this cycle.

I won't pretend to understand the complexity of this horrific situation. I'm angry and fed up with Israel and the West's relationship with Israel. And it confuses the hell out of me when I see things like this exposé from Bob Woodward that just came out: https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/08/politics/bob-woodward-book-war-joe-biden-putin-netanyahu-trump/index.html

“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy. He’s a bad fucking guy!” Biden declared privately about the Israeli prime minister to one of his associates in the spring of 2024 as Israel’s war in Gaza intensified, Woodward writes.

“He’s a fucking liar,” Biden said privately of Netanyahu, after Israel went into Rafah, Woodward writes.

“Bibi, what the fuck?” Biden yelled at Netanyahu in July after an Israeli airstrike killed a top Hezbollah military commander and three civilians in Beirut, according to Woodward.

“You know the perception of Israel around the world increasingly is that you’re a rogue state, a rogue actor,” Biden said to Netanyahu.

If this is how Biden privately talks about the guy, I have to wonder what's keeping him from being public about it. I understand this is politics, but I want to hope that there's more to it because the United States and other Western nations sure as hell should not be complicit in the slaughter of Palestinians simply because of politics.

🤬🤬🤬

It's all layers of lies. Biden has a record of loving a good, dead, brown child going back to him advocating for Israel killing more Lebanese babies before Reagan made them leave. To Israel he says "YES! BLOOD! MORE BLOOD!" And his team "leaks" to our domestic media that "he sure is mad at Netanyahu, if only the President of The United States wasn't a solely ceremonial position that serves at the pleasure of the Israeli Prime Minister... Darn!" You can tell which side he's lying to by his actions.

These all sound like things a cartoon villain would say. Are you sure you're not getting your news from Nickelodeon?
