The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

      So it seems that with you, it’s not about the genocide, it’s just about America being involved. Because frankly, I never see you standing against Russia and their genocide. Is it because America is on the side you prefer in that conflict?

        We’re not supporting Russia’s genocide in Ukraine, either.

        I’m not upset about how the US is handling Ukraine, except that they’re not supporting Ukraine enough.

        Make your accusations overtly if you’re going to lie about me for opposing Netanyahu’s genocide.

          Hate to break it you you, but… We aren’t supporting genocide anywhere. You need a new bit. This broken record genocide accusation thing is old.

            There’s a genocide going on in Gaza, for which we are supplying weapons. That’s support.

              We’d be supplying those weapon if there wasn’t genocide happening. Which means we’re only honoring an agreement.

              Israel would be continuing their genocide with or without America being involved.

              I REALLY wish you people would pay attention some time.

                We’d be supplying those weapon if there wasn’t genocide happening.

                And when the genocide started, we had a moral obligation to cease. And a legal one under the Leahy law.

                Israel would be continuing their genocide with or without America being involved.

                And you prefer with.

                I REALLY wish you people would pay attention some time.

                “you people”?
