In meetings in Israel, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin conveyed to Israeli leaders that it’s important to observe international rules of warfare.
As Israel girds for a fearsome ground assault into Gaza, senior Biden administration officials are warning their Israeli counterparts to show restraint and avoid mass civilian casualties and a humanitarian disaster that could turn world opinion against the Jewish state, according to two current and one former U.S. official.
I have personally made the decision to abstain from voting in the 2024 presidential election at this point if Biden is the nominee. I cannot in good conscience vote for another president who clearly learned nothing from the protracted “War on Terror”, and who now publicly supports ethnic cleansing by Israel simply to score political points.
I had similar reasons in 2016… regretful
Be sure to vote in the primaries.
Unfortunately with first past the post the only way to vote against the republican candidate is to vote for the Democrat even if he’s awful. That’s how Biden got elected. And that’s why the primaries are so important.

I always vote down ballot in every election, and have voted in every election since I was legally able to vote. I understand the importance of local and state elections.
Great. What’s your address, so when Trump wins and we descend into ChristoFascism, I can send you flowers and a thank you note?
You entered into this discussion because I said I had an ethical problem with voting for Biden when he continues to justify and tacitly support Israeli war crimes and their continued ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people. Let’s not forget that.
Your stupid fucking bullshit take was that I’m the asshole because I even suggested that I was uncomfortable voting for him after that, and was therefore guilty by association in the hypothetical event Donald Trump gets reelected.
I then continued by pointing out that my vote has no legitimate bearing on the electoral process due to the fact that we don’t elect candidates based on the popular vote, and my state is already a Democrat stronghold. You want to make me guilty by association to justify your own guilt for supporting imperialist, genocidal, zionist foreign policy with your hypothetical vote I guess. You voted for it, so by your logic that makes you equally responsible for the evil & death carried out in your name via the democratic process that you want to jerk yourself off for supporting.
So, don’t be surprised when someone holds you responsible for being an enabler of an ongoing genocide, and an establishment sycophant I guess.
I prefer to be on the side of not supporting psychopathic behavior that is being carried out in the name of religion regardless what fucking flag their country flies, or how much they want to permanently paint themselves out to be the victim. That’s something you and Israel have in common actually. You both think you’re the victim when really you’re the one defending the process of further victimization.
“I’m relying on someone else to do something that I won’t do” is not a very compelling statement of personal ethics.
Right there with “My personal ethics is to keep moving, because someone else will stop to help that stranger in need.”

Oh ok so by not voting, you’re actually voting for the GOP, therefore making the problem even worse.
Good job!
