Every US President gets to try to start one war in the Middle East. Biden was planning on saving it for his second term, but, you know.
I really don’t think Israel is going to be a deciding factor in this election. Both parties support Israel (so it’s not a point of differentiation between the two parties/candidates) and most Americans don’t know or care about what’s going in Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, etc.

The US will send an advanced anti-missile system — and US troops to operate it — to Israel “to help bolster Israel’s air defenses following Iran’s unprecedented attacks against Israel on April 13 and again on October 1,” the Pentagon said Sunday.
Literally range defensive tools to save civilian lives. We are deploying anti-missile tech to prevent deaths from rockets, and we need to deploy the personnel trained to manage those advanced tools because they are needed now, not 6 months from now when locals can be trained to operate them.
Approximately 100 US troops are deploying to Israel to operate the THAAD battery, according to a US defense official. It is rare for US troops to deploy inside Israel, but this is a typical number of troops to operate the anti-missile defense system.
So which one is it? We want Biden to protect civilians in the region… or maybe not when the civilians being protected are people from Israel. Once again, the Hamas-indoctrinated tiktokers showing their colors.
Also, in case it’s getting lost in the fog of BS in this sub: Iran is literally shooting rockets at Israel cities right now. Real war-class rockets that Israel can’t stop reliably because their tech is not advanced enough for ballistics of this nature. Where are all the “Biden should protect the civilians” people now?
Maybe Isntreal should’nt attack its neighbors if they don’t want to be shot at?
Don’t try to spread misinformation. Iran has shot those missiles on military facilities after the invasion of Lebanon by the Israeli troops, they are not shooting it right now. (Not a single israeli casualty was recorded.) Biden should protect the civilians of Palestine and Lebanon by not facilitating genocide. Keep your dog on leash when it keeps biting the neighbours.
Misinforming while talking about misinformation. Par for course around these parts.
No casualties from 180 Iran rockets for mainly 2 reason:
-
Israel is used to the bellicose nature of all their murderous neighbors, so they have a strong culture of bomb shelters. 10 million Israel civilians were on bomb shelter alert that day.
-
Israel had help from allies to defend from Iran’s rockets.
The US is on record as having shot down rockets that Israel couldn’t deal with. This is why we have our warships nearby, to protect civilians. And also why we are sending more anti-missile tech. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/clyv0ne41pzo
And it is said that Jordan used their tech to shoot down some Iranian rockets to help protect Israel’s civilians when they saw the trajectory of the rockets. This wouldn’t be a first for Jordan, they had to get involved in April against another Iranian attack https://www.cnn.com/2024/04/17/middleeast/jordan-walks-a-tightrope-after-downing-iranian-drones-and-missiles/index.html
Also, perhaps I missed it, but I did not catch in your comment any relief that Israel civilians were spared horrors thanks to the quick actions of anti-missile efforts. Somebody might mistake your rhetoric for that of the Hamas-indoctrinated fucktards around these parts that speak in Hamas talking points and celebrate terrorism and genocide when the target is Israel.
Those warships could’ve been used for intercepting Israeli missiles that could have saved many more civilians life, more than 40k. But those warships are not for civilian safety instead they are for ensuring safety of a regime while they commit genocide.
I agree but reality is voting third party is never going to teach DNC anything right now. So long as the GOP exists they will do something dumb again in 4 years. Both major parties are going to support Isreal in some way. Vote the gop out to the void and turn on the DNC next. This way at least maybe women in US won’t risk dying or jail time.
Vote the gop out to the void and turn on the DNC next.
The question I keep asking and get no reply to is, how?
How do we “turn on the DNC next”. In your scenario, we’ve just given them the unequivocal message that they can be assured of our votes no matter what their policies are, even supporting genocide doesn’t loose them votes, so long as the Republicans are worse.
So, by what mechanism do we “turn on the DNC”?
Why would they listen to a single protest, campaign, or speech knowing that their votes are secure no matter what?
No-one will vote for Trump instead they will transfer their vote to third party because “accelerating war” and “being pro-genocide” is not what everyone wants from democratic party. Maybe Dems don’t understand their voters.
they will transfer their vote to third party
Which is implicitly voting for Trump. Again, really fucking stupid.
Atleast you agree that these votes are important but you should also understand that republicans can get votes by committing “wars and genocides” but dems voters are not comfortable with these things. Dems should acknowledge the demands of their voters.
