America’s support for genocide isn’t an accident. It isn’t an anolomy. It’s what America always does. It’s what the system was built on.

Look at the size of America’s military. Look at the size of America’s wealth. Look at who benefits.

If you defend capitalism, you defend that.

    You know, now that Biden has lost the election and no longer needs the support of AIPAC, there’s no reason for him to continue to allow Netanyahu to do this.

    Biden could stop this all with a phone call. He could tell the US ambassador to the UN to stop vetoing Security Council resolutions about Israel.

    But he won’t. Because it’s not about electability. The truth is that Biden supports what is happening in Gaza. He thinks the primitive barbaric Gazans are getting what they deserve for standing up to the noble white people who are trying to civilize them.

    You know what that’s called? It’s called being a white supremacist.

    Biden is a genocidal white supremacist, and I wish the Democrats would fucking admit it, but they won’t.

    WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW, DEMOCRATS? WHAT’S HIS EXCUSE NOW?

    Genocide apologists, all of them. Scratch a liberal, find a white supremacist.

    the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally

    This is hyperbolic.

    There’s more to the world than the USA. And even during the first Dark Ages, scientific progress didn’t cease globally. Just in Europe.

    There was quite a lot of progress in mathematics and science in the Middle East during the so-called Dark Ages.

    My impressions: The tone is good. She opens by saying she has had a “frank” conversation with Netanyahu, and she’s says it in a stern voice, which makes it sound like she intends to be tough with him.

    But as for the substance of the speech… well, it sounds like she grasps the horrors of what Israel is doing in Gaza. But she also doesn’t say that the US is going to do anything about it.

    Doesn’t say that she’s willing to put pressure on Netanyahu or Israel. Certainly doesn’t say that they’ll stop shipping weapons. (Actually, the opposite. She says she’ll continue to ensure that Israel can defend itself from Hamas, which sounds like it means weapons.)

    She wants the ceasefire to be agreed to, but doesn’t identify Israel as the holdout. Doesn’t say that the US will do anything more than hold conversations and not look away. It all sounds like more of the same of what we’ve had for fifty-seven years.

    I realize that she is currently just the VP in Biden’s administration, and probably can’t change the administration’s policies. So maybe we can’t expect anything more than a change of tone at this point.

    But if Israel were any other country, there would be talk of sanctions and the need for “regime change”.
