The predictable use of “Zionist” as an epithet for “someone who supports Israeli expansionism and aggression,” when all it really means is “someone who supports Israel’s right to exist.”
If you support Israel’s right to exist as a country, then you are also a Zionist - even if you disagree with the current Israeli government (as I do).
As for the money from Biden to Israel, that includes more than three decades, during which Israel’s government has changed drastically. It is also a non sequitur in a discussion of military aid, which I thought we were having. And I stand by my assertion there: The military aid (not private donations) is determined by Congress. They hold the purse strings.
Biden is saying no such thing, and neither am I. I’m saying that the current country, Israel, has a right to exist. Nothing more, nothing less. I’m also saying, in case you missed it, that their current government is horrible and has engaged in atrocities.
Biden’s job - and it’s a difficult one - is threading the needle on maintaining good ties with an ally while using diplomacy to try to end the violence in Gaza.
What is your goal, Linkerbaan? Four more years of President Trump wholeheartedly supporting the absolute destruction of Gaza and Palestine? Because that’s what you get if you are successful in going after Biden for not being anti-Israel. You get Trump and Netanyahu happily working together to wipe Palestine off the face of the Earth, as well as leaving Ukraine out to dry.

That is not what Zionism means at all. Zionism means a Jewish ethno state where no non-Jews are allowed.
Are you saying Jews are not safe in America? Biden sure is.
Strange that Biden keeps repeating that he’s a Zionist while israel is Genocide too.
Holy shit… Citing TRT World?
