    I think these people are more typically from troll farms than genuinely pro-Palestine, but some of theme probably are that stupid as well. I guess it’s a mixed bag.

      There’s plenty of stupid out there. I tend to go by Hanlon’s razor for this sort of thing: “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.”

        I think that motto has been losing it’s power recently. Ol’ Hanlon didn’t conceive of malicious stupidity

        Israel/US relations were at an all-time low under Biden already before the attack, and there’s every indication he’s using every back channel he has to make Netanyahu slow down his genocide. Sometimes diplomatic solutions are more efficient than a public Circus.

          Honestly, at 30,000 dead.

          Maybe it’s time we just step back and let Israel deal with the consequences of its own choices.

          Shit let’s just start a new diplomatic relationship with one of their enemies.

          We can be all like “Look here’s plenty of guns, ammo, and missiles. We are friends now, have fun!”

            Yeah, US cutting its unconditional support to Israel was overdue decades ago. Howevers, as long as the rest of the political landscape doesn’t follow, Biden acting unilaterally and publicly just amounts to political suicide with no gain for anyone.
