The thing is, is that any worse than professing to be concerned about the slaughter of Palestinians while being complicit via inaction / tacit support?

I think being 'fucking stupid' would be falling for a difference in presentation as if it were a difference in policy.It is if you aren't morally-damaged or fucking stupid, yeah.

Being fucking stupid would be pretending that either mattered to you other than as grist for a post.I think being 'fucking stupid' would be falling for a difference in presentation as if it were a difference in policy.

There you go with the insults when you run out of reason. You know all your politicians are happy to sit back and see Palestinians butchered, but still need to pretend your cherished democrats are better. Cultish - and no, that's not a spelling mistake.Being fucking stupid would be pretending that either mattered to you other than as grist for a post.

Not really sure what the beef is with yourself and Foggy, but regarding Palestine, Red or Blue in the Whitehouse is not going to make any difference.There you go with the insults when you run out of reason.

In fact it may get worse with Trump, we just don’t know how that could be possible at the moment.
AIPAC seem to have the Israel lobby sown up.
You can’t ever see America speaking out against Israel’s actions.

That's exactly the point I'm making. Foggy has got all sweaty again because I dared imply both sides are indifferent.Not really sure what the beef is with yourself and Foggy, but regarding Palestine, Red or Blue in the Whitehouse is not going to make any difference.

Biden's support for Israel was pavlovian. The senile old nepotist had a perverse and pathetic loyalty to Netanyahu. That weakness was used against the Palestinian people.
Trump is transactional in every interaction, on theoretical policy terms he is worse but in practical terms because of that need for devotion and platitudes, and his fickleness he may actually be better.
