Report: Biden Admin Lobbying Against Sanders Push to Block Israel Arms Deal
The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

Shocking absolutely nobody, there's a deafening silence from the blue MAGA brigade that, pre-election, kept crying about how not supporting Israel 100% would sink the Democrats' chances of winning 100% and that Trump would do oh so much worse. Democrats have already lost the election, and now they double down on a losing policy when they literally have nothing at stake.
The only difference between a Biden and a Trump administration for Palestine is the speed at which things occur. Biden is fundamentally onboard with the same genocidal policies as Trump is willing to support.
For fucks sake. There's fucking arrest warrants and Biden still can't follow our own laws about not sending military aid to war criminals.
Godfuckingdammit
USA does not recognize the ICC which has issued the arrest warrant.
That doesn't make the evidence not exist.
The first thing Democrats do when making a firing line is form a circle, and that's by design not incompetence.
He had the smallest chance to claim he didnt do it before because he wanted to make sure trump doesnt win. Now he makes sure he raise up for the Genocide Joe title.
80% are women and children.
He earned the Genocide Joe tag at this point. Hes got nothing to lose but still insists the genocide continues without the least bit of resistance.
but after the election the Democrats are going to be anti genocide. They can't be progressive until after the election because of AIPAC. once the election is over, they're going to do a complete 180 mark my words
"You can push Biden to the left once we win!"
"Murder is bad? Defend Ukraine, not Israel?"
"WHY DO YOU HATE AMERICA?!"
Reminder: Biden was an OG neoliberal that helped Republicans convert their former opposition party into the modern hail corporate Democrats,and was a prominent figure in the legislation for waging our draconian and ineffective war on drugs.
Joe Biden was never your friend, he was complicit in changing our national politics to
Capitalist exploitation + rainbow ribbons(D)
Or
Capitalist exploitation + scapegoating(R)
I held my nose and voted for him in 2020, but that's just harm reduction. I'll take a serial killer over a cannibal serial killer that eats your fingers and toes before they kill you type thing.
Even after Israel treated Biden like shit for four years in response to unquestionable support...
Israel backed trump instead and Biden still is fighting his own party on this instead of spending his last few weeks with any power trying to mitigate Trump's incoming damage.
At this point I honestly don't understand how anyone can claim Biden was anything but a waste of four years that was so unproductive it let trump back into the White House.
I don't give two shits if these ultra conservative Dems are slightly better than a republican. I know I can hold my nose, been doing it for a long time.
But not enough other people will.
And yelling at them isn't effective.
So why don't we stop trying to shove neoliberalism down Dem voters throats, and just run a candidate Dem voters already want to vote for over trump without needing a billion dollar campaign funded by everyone causing problems for the American people
I agree with your sentiment wholeheartedly as long as you don't sign off with "and that's why I didn't vote in 2024."
Millions of people did exactly that, and so now we get Trump again.
Its pointless to point fingers now but that seems to be why you post. I think you need validation that what you did was the "right" thing. Even if it meant abandoning all your principles, and the lower and middle class in the process. Well I'm here for you buddy. Let me be the robin to your batman:
Yes! You are soo right redditrefugee69!! if it werent for literally every demographic of voter except college educated whites, Kamala would have won! damn them all! The minorities are the bane of our existence! And what happened to all those republicans who we worked so hard on? How dare they turn their backs on a Cheney! We had a cheney republican and a "liberal" dem up there, that should have covered all the bases!
Do you know the worst of the minorities who turned their back on dems? it was Native Americans!! Lets talk about how evil and bad they are!!
/s
We get Trump again because of what the previous commenter said, not you.
Iran, Russia, China and North Korea have formed an alliance. The US supports Israel as a means to an end: preventing Iran from growing in power in that region.
Russia also supports the fascist apartheid regime and, if anything, the genocide emboldens everyone who's already opposed to zionist colonialism.
There's no upside to the people of the US or the rest of the west, only the politicians being bribed and blackmailed by AIPAC and similar de facto foreign government agencies.
TONS of downside, though, not least of which that what they're doing is more morally repulsive and indefensible than even the atrocities that we rightfully despise the Putin regime for doing.
Could be using his last days on something constructive, or to earn lower and midde class trust back. Instread why not one last war crime for the road.
He could be using his king powers granted by the SCOTUS to give minimum wage, the funds he promised, fully cancel student debt, keep queer protections, make abortion legal, or any of the things he said he would do but somehow was always stopped.
But he just keeps giving aid to "Literally Genocide LLC" because who cares, he'll take that AIPAC money and run before the Trump fans start going after him.
Just one? There’s still a few months left.
Fucking hate this zionist. Trump is monumentally worse. Kamala would've at least given Palestine aid. I just hate reality so much
No she wouldn’t
Remember when people got mad at you for calling him Genocide Joe?
Yep, still have people downvote me when I say Biden is an aid to murder.
The crats are too stupid to see thats why people stayed at home instead of voting for harris.
Democrats are not a real party, it's just controlled opposition at this point.
That's because Democrats LEARNED their Lessons from losing an Election to a LITERAL NAZI DICTATOR!
He just insists on that stupid black mark on his soul. Jesus Christ, Joe.
Pure idiocy at this point.
It failed on the floor, but got an impressive 18 votes, I think. Done.
All Republicans voted against it.
That was guaranteed, the Democrats that voted against it is the important part; these are the people to campaign against and vote out.

But I'd suggest supporting the yay votes, rather than punishing the nays. Those progressive seats are the ones the DNC will try to primary, and they'll need campaign donation help next cycle.
Clearly at least some of the Democrats are a Nazi as the Republicans.
some? looking at the results about %90
Of Democrat Politicians, sure.
Of Democrat Supporters, it's almost the opposite - if I remember it correctly over 70% of Democrat Supporters were against what Israel is doing in a poll not that long ago.
Just an observation, I hope Ukraine can make it through all this, but when this war started news was non stop how Russia was falling on their face and losing thousands of troops and equipment.
Now that trump won news is non stop Ukraine is losing ground and will fall without aid.
This is why Americans are so disillusioned with all this. The propaganda machine can’t stick to a narrative and makes people feel like everything is fake. The media in this country is so fucked and a big reason why people are so uninformed.
That is no accident. The propaganda machine is perfectly tuned. Even where it appear crude and let us believe that we see through it.
Okay real talk? The Russians were falling on their face. Unfortunately they have the manpower and material to learn on the job. And that's exactly what they've been doing. The big Russian gains recently also came during the 9 month drought the GOP inflicted on Ukraine's weapons shipments.
So now there's a situation where Ukrainian recruitment is down, Ukrainian manpower on the front line is below optimal, the Russians have re-learned how to actually do an assault, and the Russians have recently resupplied and reinforced via North Korea.
The situation did legitimately change.
They were. In the early parts of the war. They've learned and adapted and currently outpace Ukrainians in arms, men, and doctrine.
everyone under 40: Why send arms to Israel?
everyone over 40: 😐
Nope. I'm 41 and as appalled by the atrocities of the fascist apartheid regime as most people on the left.
It's a Left/Right and principles/realpolitik divide rather than one based on age.
Especially now that Joe Rogan and troglodytes like him are winning millions of young voters over to fascism with their false demagoguery and misinformation disguised as entertainment and "hearing out both sides".
