    I was worried this might happen after Trump was wailing about the Filibuster the other day. If only Dems had more than 48 seats in the last 13 years maybe we could have done something about all this.

      If Biden hadnt supported aipac’s favorite genocide we all wouldnt be in this mess. But the money was just too good for Biden and almost everyone else in congress – on both sides of the aisle-- to pass up. So here we are.

        Biden was way too lenient with Israel, but he very demonstrably kept aid flowing into Gaza and withheld large bomb shipments as Israel closed in on population centers, reportedly yelled at Netanyahu over the phone and was always fighting for a ceasefire which included the terms of hostage release which China vetoed in the UN.

        Unfortunately he kept selling all other arms to Israel with emergency powers and his admin vetoed all other ceasefire terms.

        Regardless, anybody who truly cares about even a single Palestinian life needs to vote out the GOP by any means necessary.
