Biden is older than Israel, he was 6 when it was created, and he has said he will always support them no matter what because when he was a child his father made him promise to.

Elderly people often don’t realize how much has changed. In Biden’s eyes Israel will always be the victims because of WW2.

For him to accept that was generations ago and lots has changed, he’d have to come to terms with how old he is.

And if he could do that, he wouldn’t be trying to increase his record for oldest president ever.

I like to think biden has, to a good extent. From what I’m seeing in the news, his administration is internally pushing a lot harder on israel than they show externally. Of course he still sends billions through, maybe I’m just projecting

Let’s not just blame it on someone being old. They know exactly what’s going on they simply don’t care about a bunch of poor people dying when these are in between their ambitions.

Your mistake is thinking everyone that does a shitty thing, did it for the same reason:

That they’re a monster.

That way of thinking is easy, but the “why” is the most important part if you’re trying to prevent the next person from doing the same thing.

I’m not making excuses, I’m explaining the “why” and hoping some day we have a choice for president whose able to make rational decisions.

Fingers crossed for 2028.

I doubt the reason “why” the west is supporting a genocide is a promise the current ceo of usa made as a child, especially given that the same policy has been going on for a century. I also doubt it has much to do with them being old since again the same war policies have been applied for a century.

Yes. And it accomplished its mission in 1948 with the creation of Israel, and the state’s continued existence.

The deluded Zionist sub-groups want ‘back’ Transjordan and the rest of Palestine - ignoring the political reality that doing so means war with and annexation of parts of Jordan and Lebanon, all of Palestine and parts of Egypt too.

This is how a majority of extremely old people think. To them, what was true in their childhood is always true.

It’s not like their choosing to do that.

It’s a normal thing our brains do if we’re lucky enough to live that long.

Humans didn’t evolve to live in such fast pace worlds. So if someone made it to 60, running on “autopilot” wasn’t as big of a deal. So as we lose critical thinking skills (again, completely normal) we fall back on stuff we learned as kids and stereotypes to be able to keep up.

It’s why not having an age limit on elected representives is so crazy.

It’s outright denial of science to pretend an 80 year old is still capable of leading a country. For more reasons than just that one.
