    Unfortunately Genocide Joe is probably not watching the same news we all are.

    This is a weird comment as it implies that Joe Biden has less information about what is going on in Gaza than the average person who watches the news.

      He undoubtedly has more information about what’s going on than most people who aren’t there but he also has different motives. Where you or I might view genocide as unacceptable under any circumstances, he’s viewing it through a lens of constantly needing to maintain and grow American power and resources. He believes that the US relationship with Israel furthers that goal so Israel performing genocide gets a pass. He rationalizes it by believing that whatever is (capitalism’s definition of) good for America is good for all Americans.
