    I must admit, I don’t get why Biden would go so wholeheartedly pro Israel here. I get that the US has been allies with Israel for decades, and we would probably continue that. But his support goes further, and gets out of balance in terms of public perception of Israel (which does have broad public support), and a clear genocide of Palestinians in Gaza which also has broad public recognition. He probably would have been better to try to thread the needle between the two.

        Don’t get your numbers from a terrorist organization known for lying and inflating numbers.

        Basically the whole world uses Gazan numbers, because they’re known to be reliable. I won’t respond to the rest of your comment because you’re disgusting of a human being.

        Classic genocidal rhetoric, calling the natives “terrorists” to justify your horrible actions
