"Netanyahu spits in Biden's face and rubs feces in his hair. White house is assessing if this crosses the line."

Biden’s going to call Netanyahu and tell him that he is disappointed in him.

The white house won't even admit it's a genocide. There is no red line and never will be.

So? Does that make continuing to enable genocide right? Is that some sort of fucking justification? If not, why bring it up? "Everyone else is doing it" is another shitty excuse, and the fourth I've seen here on lemmy. The other three, summarized:

"That's the way we've always done it;" "We might be called antisemitic by the party that chants 'Jews will not replace us';" and "Trump loves it so that makes it ok."

This is what I mean about support for genocide on lemmy. Making shit excuses for it instead of condemning it.

I think you might be missing a few. Eg Nicaragua, Maldives.

In terms of the West, Ireland, Spain, and Norway are probably close to openly calling it a genocide.
