But Gaza women & children need more bombs? Seriously, why are Democrats so hypocritical these days? Like... RFK Jr. may have done some looney shit but Democrats have literally enabled killing tens of thousand women & children and that is acceptable to them.
Despite his earlier proclaimed "anti-war" position RFK is a Zionist and fully supports the Genocide in Gaza.
He might have had a real shot at winning the election if he provided an anti-Genocide alternative. But the so called "anti-war" guy just had to kneel for israel.
What on earth... I was making a playful joke about him leaving a bear corpse in Central Park...
A little hard for me to be a Democrat when I'm not even American you manic buffoon.
RFK Jr. wants to send more bombs to Gaza and he has also contributed to plenty of preventable deaths with his years of spreading antivaccination disinformation.
His remarks on leveling Gaza are in the first result I found when I looked up his stance on Israel: https://www.timesofisrael.com/2024-dark-horse-rfk-jr-questions-gaza-ceasefire-defends-israeli-offensive/
Democrats? Why on Earth would you blame the Dems when it's more than clear that it's the GOP that is latched onto the AIPAC teat like a barnacle. Remember when Republicans in the House and Senate were demanding aid for Ukraine go to Israel instead?
Whose name appears here?
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/us-approves-20-billion-weapons-sales-israel-hamas-backs-out-cease-fire-talks/
You're out of your mind if you think the issue is only with Republicans.
Look who's objecting.
Ah, and Biden is slow walking the sale...
Oh, this is interesting too.
Curse Biden for not magically making Netanyahu stop being a murderous asshole. You know that there are limits to what the American President can do on his own, without the full support of his legislature, about the homicidal activities of a foreign ruler? But by all means, keep attacking the Democrats as if a 2nd Trump administration would be an improvement. What did Trump say about Israel/Gaza? Oh that's right, Israel should "finish what they started" and "get it over with fast".
I love your post!
I agree, it’s very cut and dry what’s going on with this topic. I haven’t seen a single person yet chime in about Gaza who followed up with a sincere conversation about it, though. Just jabs, snark, and mud slinging.
I think the kindest interpretation is that they’re not thinking it through and they don’t want to. The least kind is that they’re insincere and looking for any way to start an argument.
Yes you're right Democrats complaining about Gaza are stupid morons. Definitely should be Kamala's talking points to help win.
Kamala has already indicated she is opposed to continued support of Israel. She does not appear to be sucking AIPAC's baby dick the way Joe was.
I guess your statement may be true... If you live in an alternate reality. You're acting like she wasn't just the VP for the last 4 years. She's already said she supports continuing to arm Israel.
Thank you. I'm fairly certain I won't convince the individual I'm debating with, but I do hope others will read and maybe they'll start looking closer at the issues and learn more about them.
