“While it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as president for my term,” Mr. Biden posted in a statement on social media.
It’s certainly an issue. How is he going to negotiate peace if he’s physically impaired?
I also don’t think Bernie Sanders would do anything meaningful to change things in Gaza. His statements on the matter have basically been, “there’s no easy solution, so let’s just push for a temporary ceasefire to get humanitarian aid in.” He doesn’t have a plan to end the conflict, nor do I think he could do the job of a diplomat to bring both sides to the table (and would Hamas even listen to him, he’s a Jew and, even if he doesn’t have ties to Israel, that’s still likely an issue for them).
Sanders isn’t a hawk. He’s opposed to spending money on war when those funds would be better spent on social programs. He would end the funding of the genocide, which would cease without US funding.
Also, don’t be antisemitic. This issue has nothing to do with religion. End the occupation, free the thousands of hostages being tortured by Israel, and you’ll be much, much closer to peace
