Critical difference:
Trump actively advocates racism:

Harris does not advocate genocide, she advocates an immediate cease fire and a two-state solution:

Political theater from both parties.
Biden and Harris are the current president and VP, happily funding and supporting Israel.
Raise your standards.
In practice, at this point in time, what does raising your standards mean to you?
Sitting in a room in moscow with a dozen other shitposters happy they aren’t being send to Ukraine.
They believe, correctly, that Israel has the right to self defense when attacked by countries like Iran.
We are absolutely going to fund and support that defense.
What Israel does with that support is entirely separate from our reasons for providing it.
I don't think we will agree on this topic.
That is why we differ on who we are willing to vote for and how high or how low our standards have become.
The funding America is providing is not for defense. The huge criticisms are what Israel is actually using these arms funds for. Genocide and wholesale slaughter.
That's what Israel is using them for, but that's NOT why we're providing them.
Saying America is just giving arms and funding to Israel without minding the intent is very disingenuous at best. It's abundantly clear what these arms are used for. Now more than ever.
