Israel, the United States and Hamas are close to an agreement to free dozens of women and children held hostage in Gaza, in exchange for the first sustained pause in conflict in Gaza, according to people familiar with its provisions.

    How is Biden personally responsible for what is going on with Israel and Hamas? Israel came into existence in 1942, Biden was a child at the time, and not even elected into the Senate until 1972 a full 30 years after Israel policies were in motion.

    I’m not making excuses for any support of Israel’s actions, but it’s a little reductive to blame this all on one dude. (Which you’re kind of doing in other parts of this thread)

    Let’s not forget there’s a real concerted effort by the republican party right now to turn this country into a Fascist one party state, and they’ve plainly stated that their plan is to go after people critical of the state and political enemies if elected, which could be you and me.

    I wouldn’t take that threat lightly.

      Every US president since the 70s has been complicit in enabling Israel’s crimes - and that includes Biden.
