    Dude wrote the horrendous Clinton Crime bill, setting the stage for further militarizing the police against minorities in the US and still finds ways to send more military equipment to police annually as president.

    Anyone saying Biden is a humanitarian even before his fuck up in Palestine was either a fool or pushing propaganda.

    And since the Israel-Hamas war began, the administration’s refusal to challenge Israeli actions widely seen as war crimes — from collective punishment of Gaza’s civilian population to attacks on civilians — has made it impossible for most observers to take Biden seriously on human rights.

    Annie Shiel, the U.S. advocacy director for the rights group CIVIC, reflected on the contrast in a Dec. 21 statement reacting to the Defense Department’s announcement of a policy to shield civilians.

    “For this policy to be meaningful, it must be applied consistently. The department’s response to catastrophic civilian harm and destruction in Gaza, caused by Israeli operations directly supported by U.S. assistance, has failed to live up to and actively undermined U.S. civilian protection efforts like this policy,” Shiel said. “A true commitment to protecting civilians must go beyond rhetoric and be backed by action and leverage — including the political will to suspend military aid that is directly contributing to the deaths of thousands of civilians.”

    The governments of US and Israel are full of useless words and no actions when it comes to aiding suffering Palestinian innocents and minimizing unrelated casualties.

    Yes it’s Biden’s problem, but it’s the fault of the entire US state department. This behaviour on the world stage makes the US appear like Russia when they were part of G8.

    No it’s fucking not. This isn’t on Biden in any way.

    Edit: I see we’ve got plenty of know-nothing 14 year olds that just learned about their first war on TikTok and think they know everything about world affairs because they watched a seven second video.

    Can we say he’s a bad president yet? Between blaming the media for people’s perception of the economy and Gaza, I’m gonna have to hold my nose to vote for him.
