The people calling the EU the fourth reich are the same people that will unironically say that Hitler wasn’t so bad, and actually did some good things for Germany. They’re right up there with the people that call Biden “Genocide Joe” despite the fact that he has never committed genocide against anybody, and then talk about how great Stalin and Mao were.
Every president the US has had since 1948 has financed and supported Israel, with the full support of congress, regardless of what rhetoric those congressmen are spewing in the run-up to an election year. Congress sets the budget, and they sign off on giving Israel money every single year so don’t act like this is just Biden throwing money at them.
Every president after Biden will continue to do so as well. Israel is shitty but every other country in the region is exponentially shittier. That being said, I’m not happy with the way this is being handled either, but don’t pretend like Biden is handling things any differently than every president for the last 80 years - with the possible exception of Jimmy Carter - would have done.
Ok, you got me, only 90% of the countries in the region are exponentially worse, two of them are just worse on a strictly linear scale.
Yes I think countries that routinely decapitate gay people, beat women to death with rocks for not wearing the right hat, condone or at the very least ignore the rape of women and children, and cut peoples hands off for shoplifting, whose atrocities only can’t be called genocide because it’s the same ethnic group killing each other, are worse than Israel, didn’t realize that was such a hot take. I’m not saying Israel is good, I’m just saying the US, along with most of Europe, has chosen to back the one country in the region that at least pretends to have western values.
“causing reputational damage” to the EU is probably a bit of an understatement.
Does the EU really have a good reputation as it is? People call it the Fourth Reich for a reason.
“An exceptionally small minority of people…”
You dropped this.
Seriously, who calls it the Fourth Reich?
Nobody ever.

Biden IS financing Israel though. That’s depite bipartisan support for a ceasefire.

Really? Every other country is exponentially worse? I can’t think of anything that, say, Jordan or even Iraq does worse than Israel.

And that is still genocidal garbage, regardless of how long it has been going for.
