Rights advocates in the United States are urging President Joe Biden to end his administration’s “complicity” in Israeli rights abuses after key members of Israel’s government backed the idea of pushing Palestinians out of Gaza.

Far-right Israeli ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich said this week that Israel should “encourage emigration” from the coastal enclave, home to an estimated 2.3 million Palestinians.

“If there are 100,000 or 200,000 Arabs in Gaza and not two million Arabs, the entire discussion on the day after [the war ends] will be totally different,” Smotrich said on Sunday, calling for the “voluntary migration” of Palestinians.

A day later, Ben-Gvir, who oversees national security, made a similar appeal, saying it was “a correct, just, moral and humane solution”, Israeli media outlets reported.

I wonder what it would take for Biden to act. The actual bombing and killing isn't enough. Are these statements by Israeli leadership what it will take? I don't really understand what is behind Biden's support at this point.

Been wondering the same. Traditionally the US has supported Israel, no matter what. But fuck me. Biden has thrown all has cards on the table in support of genocide, and I still have to vote for him. What a clusterfuck.

Meanwhile, Ukraine is fighting our arch enemy and we're bickering about whether to send them more arms. Here's our chance to destroy Russia, once and for all, with not a soldier lost, not even a mildly damaged M4 rifle, and gather all the intelligence in the world on modern combat. Finally. And the GOP won't do it. Reagan is spinning in his grave.

That when conspiracy theory come to place. When Biden spoke about victims of hamas attack next day, he was and still emphatic. Yet never spoke about the civilians or kids who died in Gaza. He doesn't sees them.

There are a few options to his actions and looking at all of them they don't make sense. He is not evangelical working towards the kingdom of Isreal to happen. He doesn't need money. He doesn't have relatives living there. Yet he been knowing to be a zainoist since he was a senator.

My conspiracy is that he is blackmailed by Isreal especially when he visited Isreal first time.

Here is a quote about his memory from a few weeks back.

over 50 years ago, as a young senator, I visited Israel for the first time, as a newly elected senator.

"And I had a long, long trip — or meeting with Golda Meir in her office just before the Yom Kippur War. And I guess she could see the consternation on my face as she described what was being faced — they were facing."

To me it is very clear how compromised the us government by Zionist. Senator, presidents, and most of the rich and important companies which ultimately own the media. If it wasn't for social media we wouldn't know much about the suffering that children is going through nor their cries.

I don't see how that quote supports your point at all

Biden talked to the Israeli PM 50 years ago about how Israel was facing multiple countries that wanted Israel destroyed, shortly before multiple countries attempted to destroy Israel

And this is proof that Zionists have corrupted the US Government?

Probably? AIPAC money drying up.
