I don’t think he should care about people’s gut reactions. The genocide is actively harmful to America’s imperial interests and Biden’s own ambitions for the middle east (normalisation between Israel and Saudi Arabia for example). It’s harmful to most capitalists except for the weapons goons. I don’t think it’s accurate to say that what is happening is simply because of an inability to see Palestinians as human and thus not caring about their extermination because they stand in the way of some logical goal. That logical reason exists for the vassal state, of course, but many vassal states have desires that the Americans will not allow them to indulge.
We have no reluctance to look at many historical genocides and to determine that blood lust and racial animosity were primary drivers. Why should this one be different? We have, on record, some of the most bloodthirsty comments ever publicly made by government officials in Israel, we know that beyond the pragmatic desire to control greater territory, Israel is in the grip of a violent mania. Why should that not extend to the one essentially telling them to do it?
I guess putting more thought into this, I’m posting because I have imagined some standards for what deserves to be posted to this comm that I barely pay attention to and want to complain loudly that this is low-hanging fruit. Really every community needs someone butting in from time to time to say “Have some dignity people!”
