You realize *Biden* didn't do anything in Gaza. He's not the head of state or government of Israel. They have this leader named Netanyahu . . .

Opposition in the US to Vietnam came from the fact that (wait for it) the US was at war in Vietnam. Our troops were there. Our citizens were being drafted.

After the Oct 7 massacre, the calculus changed in Israel. If the equivalent 48,000 Americans were murdered, it would change in the US, too. If Biden froze or cancelled every cent in military assistance and blocked the transfer of every weapon system to Israel, they still would have pursued the same course of action--at least for a good while.

I know, I know . . . 48,000 American or however many equivalent Europeans (or South Africans) is different . . . because Israelis are, well, Israelis. That's why we take Hamas

word over theirs, right? I mean, duh! Jews, err . . . Israelis are just a bunch of neanderthal thugs. If only they acted more like North Vietnam! That's a good example to follow, of course!
