Meanwhile they’re restricting food and medical supplies for the people they’re genociding 🙄

And killing journalists who might report on the other atrocities.

The fuck are we doing that for, shame on the U.S. We are literally helping them participate in genocide.

We’ve been doing it for decades. Why stop now?

And helping them have things the USA doesn't have, like universal healthcare and education!

I feel like Biden is trying to do the thing from The Producers at this point. I don’t know why, but his decisions in the last three months only make sense to me if for some reason he feels like he needs to lose the presidency as hard as possible.

I wish he would stop. He was literally my 10th choice in 2020, but I actually liked what he was doing for the first three years. And now it feels like he’s trying to make Trump president again. Why??

They know US citzen don’t have options because the alternative is going to fuck up things more.

What would be disgusting if Republicans win office democrat will start blaming them for Isreal Aid.

It is very clear that the US government is not working for it is own people but for Zainoist. I think american better go live there as well and get free new home, better food and climates, and free health care and education and not pay as much taxes.

cabron_offsets@lemmy.world on 26 Dec 2023 16:58 collapse

Bullshit argument. We can have universal healthcare for less than the cost of current for-profit medical care via insurance companies. Reason we don’t have it is rampant, unregulated capitalism and the corporate capture of government.

iAmTheTot@kbin.social on 26 Dec 2023 18:07 next collapse

I wasn't making an argument, simply making a statement.

Excuse me, this is Lemmy and everything is an argument. Nice goal post shifting btw.

I think Israel has universal healthcare. Think about it

To maintain an allied power center in the region. Same reason the US colludes with the saudis.

PoliticalAgitator@lemm.ee on 26 Dec 2023 17:31 collapse

Probably lots of reasons, all of them fucked.

The main reason is probably money. There’s no better way to turn billions of dollars of public funds into billions of dollars of private profits.

It also reassures neoliberals that for all his rhetoric about forgiving loans and improving healthcare access, he’s still willing to kill children if there’s money in it.

It’s also a chance to show off the unstoppable force of American arms against people who are considered completely expendable to America.

Political support for Israel among the older generations, the people who vote.

underisk@lemmy.ml on 26 Dec 2023 18:14 next collapse

The same zionists are on the ballot for both young and old people. Israel support is bipartisan; voting won’t stop AIPAC and the Zionist lobby from buying whoever you vote for.

ThePythonist95@discuss.tchncs.de on 26 Dec 2023 18:56 collapse

Thanks. But I mean, doing so does not really help in calming the tensions between the two involved in the war. I may be wrong, though.

So excessive. I’m ashamed that my tax dollars have contributed to genocide.

Contact your representatives and let them know, at least.

JoJoGAH@lemmy.world on 27 Dec 2023 02:14 collapse

I lost the ability to comment on insta bc I commented in my representatives page. He is not only an elected representative, he is pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atl. This is the pulpit MLK led hia movement from. So yes, I am extra mad that he has not even made a statement. I have already done the emails, they don’t care. So I figured a public comment on his insta post would stir something up, it did. Meta told me I’d be stfu for a while.

So once I was able to comment again I stated that meta can fuck right off and I’ll be signing up for telegram. At least journalists can post freely there.

I think naming and shaming would help.

OK, here’s The Times of Israel:

I like am amused that the number of ships is higher.

What’s the difference between giveth and taketh? These both seem like taketh.

They’re giving Ukraine the ability to defend itself and taking away Palestine’s ability to defend itself

Ukraine starving for old mortar shells and a few F16’s. Meanwhile the IDF gets a boatload of F35’s with bunker busters for free to blow up hospitals with.

WindowsEnjoyer@sh.itjust.works on 26 Dec 2023 17:36 collapse

Ukraine did not invade russia after russia attacked Ukraine. Ukraine is simply trying to survive.

Israel on the other hand…

This is bullshit. Any additional support for israel is bullshit.
