I understand where are you coming from. But you honestly believe that a person that enables genocide abroad isn't evil?
By your logic, every leader of a 1st world country for the last several decades is evil.
I have this conversation every single time I open up lemmy these days..
Biden isn't enabling a genocide. If the US completely stopped sending anything to Israel, Israel would still be conducting this genocide. Netanyahu said so himself. Israel generates its own war supplies and exports its excess.
The only thing that would change is the US would lose the influence it has left in the middle east and some other (likely hostile) nation would scoop up that spot. That's the real reason the US is still party to this.
Everyone who believes Biden is evil because they think he has a magic genocide-off button on his desk isn't paying attention.
They are, unironically
The US is one of only a few countries that have voted against the last two UN resolutions. You're not wrong, but the US government is a special type of evil.
Both the Biden and Trump regimes have also opposed separate UN resolutions against condemning the glorification of Nazism
