“Jill Stein is a useful idiot for Russia. After parroting Kremlin talking points and being propped up by bad actors in 2016 she’s at it again,” DNC spokesman Matt Corridoni said in a statement to The Bulwark. “Jill Stein won’t become president, but her spoiler candidacy—that both the GOP and Putin have previously shown interest in—can help decide who wins. A vote for Stein is a vote for Trump.”
The problem is that “support genocide” is being used overly broadly.
The stated policy of the Biden/Harris administration is that Israel has a right to defend itself.
Surprise! They do. Every sovereign nation has that right.
As a result of that stated policy, Biden and Harris both support providing weapons and funding for the continual defense of Israel.

So follow me here:
Where it breaks down is Bibi and Likud taking that defensive support and directing it into the Genocide.
That’s on THEM. The United States is making a good faith effort to provide support for the defense of Israel. Israel is intentionally misapplying that support.
Trump’s stated policy is that Israel needs to kill everyone quicker.

“They’re losing the PR war. They’re losing it big. But they’ve got to finish what they started, and they’ve got to finish it fast, and we have to get on with life.”
Only one of these two policies is pro-genocide, Trumps.
Biden/Harris is pro-defense which is illegitimately being used for genocide, not at all the same as being pro-genocide.
So is your argument that the Biden/Harris administration is blind, or stupid?
If I give my kid an AR-15 and they shoot up a school, I may or may not be culpable.
But if I hand them another AR after the first shooting, they kill again, and then I give them another, and another, and keep handing them weapons for months, and theres a pile of 15,000 dead children, then I am definitely culpable.
It doesn’t matter how many times I tell the kid “this AR is for defense only”.
Oh, not at all, they know very well what they’re doing.
The unwavering support of Israel is due to two factors:

As with all good politics, it has nothing to do with “right” or “wrong”, it’s all about “money” and “power”. That’s it.
Then they know it’s a genocide, they know what the weapons are used for, and they’re sending the weapons anyway.
That’s. Supporting. Genocide.
Per the UN and international law and occupying country can NOT claim self defense
Biden/Harris providing unlimited weapons and money is allowing Israel to finish the job before January 2025.
Turning a blind eye and genocide denial because it’s team blue committing it is weird and inhumane
It’s not going to be finished by January.
Israel doesn’t need our help to shoot little kids in the chest and head. Bullets are cheap.
Then they can do it without our help. We don’t need to be complicit.
It will be a little more difficult if their supply of bullets was cut off, and their bunker buster bombs were cut off.
Israel is the #8 arms dealer in the world. You can’t cut off someone who is producing their own weapons.

They don’t need our support which is why they’re completely ignoring our demands.
Then why not withdraw our support? They can “dEfEnD tHeMsElVeS” without our help.
