Only those with a bias will sit here and ignore how many times Obama stood up to Israel during his tenure

I can keep going, but quite frankly, you guys either weren't paying attention because you were still in your anarchist phase or were just oblivious.

Edit: since y’all are too dense to do any more research for yourself here’s a full frontline documentary going over the relationship. Maybe this might be a good enough source for you. Why you couldn’t find this for yourself I will never know

I like how your sources are a pro-Israel org and a Republican congressman lol Zionists cry about every imagined slight. And I shouldn't have to point out how ridiculous it is that you cited a Republican politician

Obama opposed Palestinian membership in the UN, opposed their bid for non-member observer status, blocked efforts to pursue ICC charges against Israel officials, abstained from voting on settlement expansion in the UN and continued to send weapons and aid to Israel while they expanded the settlements. You literally cannot be categorized as standing up to Israel when you send them military aid while they illegally expand their settlements and you vote in their favor in the UN

This is him trying to glom onto the popularity of the Palestinian liberation movement growing in the Democratic Party and continue to cover for Israel by pretending that they EVER had any moral ground as a genocidal ethnostate existing on stolen land

Edit: Jesus Christ and then he cites a random documentary about the US and Israel as some sort of definitive proof about Obama specifically. Bro is citing stuff like a broken LLM

Shh you can't show up with facts like this when people are glazing Obama. They might call you a dirty leftist and blame you for Trump being elected.

Yea they probably shouldnt have protested kamala and biden so much. Crazy how its been 3 years and not one trump speech has been interrupted but they showed up for kamalas book tour a year after she was out office.

lmao

Yeah man, it's totally the fault of the people protesting the genocide and not the people who were participating in it and funding it, and who literally chose supporting Israel over winning more votes. You're so smart

u/StunningCloud9184 5d ago edited 5d ago

lmao pretty much. If they cared about gaza at all they would have protested trump. which they havent. so it was obviously just for show to help get him elected.

Wonder why leftist chose trump to represent their country. wouldnt be my first choice

u/Enterprise-DeezNuts 5d ago

Jesus you're not even smart enough to get that I was being sarcastic lmao brother, Dems oversaw the genocide for over a year. We all watched as bombs sent by Biden incinerated babies and we all heard you guys saying protesting a genocide was antisemitic

lmao its really funny how they were getting food under biden and then no food under trump. They really liked that part. Lmao remember when gazans were begging “anyone but trump” and leftist were like “no”. Thats what happens when activists dont care about the actual subjects theyre supposed to care about lol.

How do you feel about the 750,000 dead babies from usaid cuts under trump youre responsible for? Given its about 10x all the gaza deaths you probably protest that too right? Given all gaza deaths are a rounding error in those deaths right?

lmao

They weren't getting food under Biden though, is the problem with your claim. May you have the day you voted for Palestinians to have, you're not sentient enough for me to keep wasting my time

Yet they still got food. And actually a ceasefire and returned to normal level of aids before biden left. Too bad you gave that all up to I guess punish dems by killing palestians? I dunno what your point was. oh well I hope you have the day you voted for palestinians to have.

What a sociopathic and repulsive comment.

u/StunningCloud9184 5d ago

I agree. Can you believe people dont care about the 700,000 dead babies just cause theyre black and in africa and not killed by israel people?

I think black people are just as important if not more so than hamas

It's funny that these types are so mad, they got exactly what they wanted! Dems told them that they would never have to listen to those mean ol anti-genocide leftists again if their supporters just let them help Israel incinerate babies and run on right wing policies so that they could court Republicans

u/lexalander Colorado 5d ago

Dems never said anything like that.

You're such a little victim.

u/Enterprise-DeezNuts 5d ago

Did you think I was claiming they literally said that and not that their actions sent that message? It's hilarious that you guys think you're smarter than MAGA

u/lexalander Colorado 5d ago

lol ok that's bullshit too.

u/Enterprise-DeezNuts 5d ago

Whatever helps you feel better about the fact that you said nothing while your leaders funded a genocide. I hope you have the day you voted for Palestinians to have 🙏

u/lexalander Colorado 5d ago

Whatever helps you feel better about the fact that you made that genocide worse and eliminated any chance of it ending soon.

Looks like somebody did a lot of reading during their 'anarchist phase' that the libs didn't account for

u/GrumpyCloud93 5d ago

Well said. I suspect in part it was because of the political reality with AIPAC in the politics back then... but still..
