The poll found 50% of Democrats approve of how Biden has navigated the conflict while 46% disapprove — and the two groups diverge substantially in their views of U.S. support for Israel. Biden’s support on the issue among Democrats is down slightly from August, as an AP-NORC poll conducted then found that 57% of Democrats approved of his handling of the conflict and 40% disapproved.

    Curious who made Viking Hippie the sole arbiter of truth. How many experts disagreeing with you makes it less “we’re all objectively enabling genocide”?

    What if I think Viking Hippie is “objectively enabling genocide”? It’s a fact (ok, it’s just a thought experiment). That means I get to say anyone that agrees with you is “objectively enabling genocide”, right?

      3 days to come back with “you’re wrong because it’s arrogant to be confident that you’re you’re right when people are paid to be wrong”? Damn, you’re really bad at this! 😂

        With all due respect, when your opinion is “your argument AND the supermajority is wrong because I said so”, you don’t leave an opening for anything more constructive.

          What supermajority would that be? Only Republicans surpass the 60% threshold and surely you don’t consider them arbiters of truth.

          As for what I’m basing my argument on, it’s the Geneva Convention and countless UN motions defeated by ridiculous vetoes from a partisan US delegation.

          What the Israeli government is doing is by definition several kinds of war crimes, including genocide and ethnic cleansing.

          That’s what Biden is supporting by supporting the Israeli government so, whether you’re aware of it and generally ok with genocide or not, supporting what Biden is doing is by definition supporting the enabling of genocide.

          Do you get it now or are your partisan blinders so thick as to make you ideologically incapable of understanding that those you support can sometimes do indefensible things?
