    Is Biden currently allowing them?

    I know he’s announced he’d “look into it” but I don’t think he’s ever let any in for the last year.

    It’s just a concept of the potential for empathy for the victims of a genocide…

      Research options on helping Palestinian refugees is just as bad as outright banning them along with other Muslums from entering the country… thanks for clearing that up…

        It’s been a year…

        What exactly needs to be “looked into”?

        Like, you’re mad trump says he’ll do this…

        But not mad that it’s currently happening right now?

            and at the people that try to gaslight that the Democrats are worse, for whatever reason.

            No one is saying they’re worse, just that “better than trump” is still supporting a genocide, refusing refugees and cutting off valid humanitarian aid based on propaganda from the genociders and not undoing it…

            if you think Trump is better for the Palestinian people.

            Again, no one is saying he would be…

            Just that Biden is illegally supporting a genocide and if he had an R by his name other people would demand he face consequences and the US stops supporting a genocide.

            You’re literally inventing a strawman to be mad at…

            Which we all give Vance shit for…

              Look, fuck Netanyahu and fuck Hamas for starting all of this. It is cold and heartless to a degree yes, but there are political nuances that you clearly don’t care about. I’d rather do everything we can within the current political reality than be right like Jimmy Carter and for the Dems to basically lose all political agency for the next decade plus. Right now I am lucky enough to say that and be so caulous. I hope my family and I can still do so after the inauguration in January. I hope we don’t have our own concentration camps of immigrants in our backyards.

                So you’re saying that because trump exists…

                We can’t criticize Biden for breaking multiple US and international laws to support a genocide and removing aid from it’s victims?

                You do you I guess…

                But I dont have time for people who think genocide is acceptable under any circumstances

                  The first and foremost rule of first aid is to ensure your own safety first. Same rule applies here. Hope your righteousness doesn’t bite you in the ass, I truly do.

              Ironic that you’re saying other people are the ones inventing stuff.

                There’s the Lehey Law and it’s amendment that says if a country can’t prove their weapons aren’t used for war crimes we’re not allowed to give them weapons.

                Biden has ignored evidence US munitions are used in war crimes, and went around Congress to unilaterally facilate a sale.

                Thata not all of it, but I doubt we’re going to have a constructive discussion about why you believe that’s not illegally supporting a genocide.
