“What’s happening in Gaza is not genocide. We reject that,” Biden said at a Jewish American Heritage Month event at the White House.

I can’t tell if he’s pandering or trying to lose the election

    So, how much and for how long does one need to support a genocidal fascist movement actively murdering civilians including tens of thousands of children, before it’s fair to describe such a person as a genocidal fascist himself?

      I support a lot of really nice people, but that doesn’t make me one.

        Do you activelly help them do good deeds or is your support for them only in your own mind and never voiced or only voiced because you think it’s a net positive for you to be preceived as “supporting good people”?

        Because what we’re talking about with Biden and Zionism is equivalent to a guy who gives guns and ammo to Ku-Klux-Klan members activelly killing Afro-Americans, loudly proclaims he supports the Ku-Klux-Klan, denounces “n*gers” to the Ku-Klux-Klan, all the while loudly proclaiming the Ku-Klux-Klan is only defending themselves, claiming that courts prossecuting Ku-Klux-Klan members are wrong in doing so and that the Ku-Klux-Klan are not racists.

        Kinda seems like such a person has well and trully crossed the boundary from “fair person” into “unjust to people who look different”, the boundary after than into “racist”, the boundary after that into “supporting racially motivated violence” and even the boundary after that into “supporting racially motivated murder”.

        Sure, such person hasn’ actually killed any Afro-Americans himself. Does him not doing himself the deeds he so strongly supports really mean he’s not a murder-supporting racist?

        Mind you, my methaphor breaks here because the Ku-Klux-Klan didn’t murder anywhere as many people as the Zionists, so the metaphor doens’t really cover Genocide and supporting it.
