    Or you know, he does care but internal US politics as well as international geopolitics are actually more complicated than you think and Biden can’t just do whatever the fuck he wants just because he’s president.

      Israels internal politics is also driving it to do genocide. Doesnt excuse Bibi from doing the genocide. Doesnt excuse Biden supporting the genocide.

      At a certain point you have to wonder what the value of liberal democracy is if it can’t help but be compelled into materially supporting genocide.

        A democracies value is that (in theory) the government needs to reflect what its people want.

        And if large parts of the country support Israel. like basically all republicans and large swaths of democrats do, then the government will unfortunately reflect that.

          And large parts of the “only democracy in the middle east” wants to do genocide. Quite explicitly.
