US presidential candidate, Jill Stein, says because of AIPAC’s $100 million funding of the US election, it has become '‘politically toxic’ to speak out against the genocide in Gaza.

‘If we have concerns about the right to life before birth, how about a right to life after birth,’ she said in reference to Israel’s killing of innocent children and the elderly in Gaza. US President Joe Biden 'can end this war with a phone call’, she added.

    You acknowledge that Trump will be worse for the Palestinians, right?

    Slightly maybe? If it’s at all possible to be worse than Biden.

    In the long term Biden and the Democrats learning that Genocide is not a great way to campaign is far more important. Rewarding Biden guarantees he will keep doing it and nobody in the Democratic party will have any incentive to change.

    Luckily for the Democrats they have a great excuse to replace Joe Biden right now because sticking with a geriatric will guarantee them the loss.

      It could be a thousand times worse than what it is under Biden. I wouldn’t put it past Trump to put our own troops in the fight. He’s said Israel got attacked because they got soft and they need to finish the job because they’re losing the PR war. Biden has delayed arms shipment in opposition to the House Republicans. So although I don’t condone Biden’s response to the genocide, I do feel that it will be incomparably worse for the Palestinians if Trump wins again. Even if the House flips Democratic he has the SCOTUS ruling on absolute immunity for core Constitutional functions like commanding the military.
