A procedural oversight turned the faculty vote into a way for staff to voice their opposition to Biden’s upcoming visit. The vote was 50-38, with roughly a dozen people abstaining.

    You must not know how much influence the US has over Israel. It literally takes one phone call to reign in Israel and Netanyahu to stop their reign genocidal campaign.

    And you say this because??? Oh because you heard it once and now you parrot it fucking everywhere even though it couldn’t be further than the truth. Israel is not a puppet of the U.S, and the U.S can’t just control it.

    The US has repeatedly shot down Palestinian voices calling for a peace deal,

    Because literally every peace deal Hamas has offered has been “Leave Gaza and let us prepare to do another October 7th”

    Rafah was supposed to Biden’s “red line” and now that’s being invaded as well.

    I literally watched the State Department press briefing on this last night, they’re still condemning any action towards Rafah, and Israel hasn’t even fully moved into Rafah yet, just issued an evacuation order, which even that the Biden Admin condemned for not being thought through enough.

    Seems like you really should be reading up more on how influential US foreign policy really is instead of clinging to democratic talking points meant to deflect from complicity in this event.

    I have and it’s not that influential, earlier in the 2000s Israel was pulling the same sort of shit in Gaza, Bush blocked their weapons (Just as Biden has already done) and Israel just kept on doing it’s war crimey thing.

    Because he’s the one signing multibillion dollar aid packages with our tax dollars funding a genocide and literally ignoring calls for ceasefire. I mean, the only way you don’t know that is if you’re living under a rock.

    I know that certain media sources love to put it this way, but Biden has not been ignoring calls for ceasefire Blinken has literally been the one setting up most of the Ceasefire proposals that Hamas has constantly shot down. But I’m sure you know Hamas has been an opponent of peace at every step, just as they bombed the southern border crossing where aid was starting to come through, Hamas doesn’t care about the people of Gaza, it wants to cling to power at any chance, even if that means starving a city on international TV to try and bring the world against Israel.

        You’re the one who’s a pro-genocide concern troll, not him. You’re Hell-bent on getting Trump elected so that Israel has free rein to murder every single Palestinian and you’re butthurt that we see through your tactics.

          Ahhh there it is… iF yOu dOnT foR BiDeN, YoU VoTE FoR TruMp

          No genius. The democrats had 4 years to out forth a viable candidate that wasn’t Biden, but they didn’t. They could have picked Bernie instead of Hilary in 2016, but they didn’t. America will survive another Trump president despite popular rhetoric. Palestine will be erased, but history won’t forget.

          At the this point, the American democracy is already fucked because we’re being forced to choose between two geriatric assholes.

          Spare me your bullshit.

            Are you capable of admitting the truth, that Palestinians will fare worse under Trump than Biden?

              Are you capable of not deflecting and talking about Biden’s policies objectively?

                So that’s a “no” on your part, then. Thanks for proving your bad faith.

                  That’s a “read and reread my response above” if you have trouble understanding and fuck off if you’re going to put words in my mouth.

                  Thanks for playing.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
