I don't think what Biden did was good enough. If it were me I wouldn't have stopped at your suggestion, I'd have sent in the US military and deposed Netanyahu personally citing Israel's own laws, international criminal justice, and defense of an ally nation under duress.
But unlike you I don't make that an excuse to justify the starvation of hundreds of thousands.
How, in all of the interactions I've had with you, have I ever given the impression that I'm justifying Israel's genocide against the Palestinians? I've been ruthlessly criticizing Biden and the Democratic party's complicity in the genocide and I agree that he should have gone as far as to depose Netanyahu by force if it came to it. I only mentioned conditioning defense spending and sanctions because that's all it would have taken, and the most that could be reasonably expected of a neoliberal ghoul like Biden.
And I don't know what you're trying to communicate with that chart. Perhaps you're trying to use the fact that Trump is far worse as some sort of gotcha, as if I don't already know that.
Uh, because you fight for the opposition, intensely waving and shouting that the lesser evil is just as bad?
I have explicitly stated otherwise, but no matter how many times I say it I'll still be accused of equivocating the Democratic and Republican parties. Any criticism of Democrats for you centrist types is interpreted as support for the opposition.
There is no higher level of justifying genocide than ignoring what Trump is doing and deflecting blame onto their only opposition.
