Biden at least kinda softly sorta sometimes pushes back a little bit on Israel. Whereas Trump literally proactively decided to recognise the illegally occupied Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

They're both bad, but one is worse, and it's not the one you're suggesting.

I agree with you... but I don't disagree with @john_mcmurray.

The fact that Biden actually participates in genocide at all is just ghastly. I honestly struggle to find the words for it. And once he crossed that bridge, I will never ever try to argue with someone who assigns him equal moral equivalence with Trump.

It's like debating whether someone who killed one of your children is better than someone who killed two. Mathematically? I think so. Conceptually? Those are who child murderers. The difference is negligible.

There are still Palestinians alive right now, though, so we can't give up, no matter how heartbroken.
