      He lived a good life. He saw the zionist project he supported all his life come to full fruition. He just wanted to win the presidency to have had 2 terms, not out of any semblance of anti-fascism or concern for minorities. He just wanted it for the sake of personal achievement.

      He will go down in history as the president who failed to do literally anything to stop fascism. He will be remembered for the hundreds of murdered reporters, 10s of thousands of murdered doctors/paramedics/nurses, and the hundreds of thousands of bombs dropped on children in Gaza. His name will be forever connected with the Israeli colonist project and it’s genocidal aims. He, more than anyone else, is why the genocide was able to happen in the first place. He gave them the guns, he gave them the money, he gave them the missiles and war machines and tanks and planes. He protected them from the UN, he protected them from international prosecution, he spread their hoaxes and propaganda on the international stage in front of audiences of millions of people.

      I’ll shed no tears when he dies. Dying of cancer is merciful compared with what Israel does to Palestinians. Deaths he has long fought to justify. Good riddance.

        ? Pretty bold claim there. I’d say it’s Netanyahu, but there was a lot of support from Biden and his administration for sure.

          He protected them from every form of intervention. Without a supportive American government they would not have even had the weapons to do it themselves.

            That is a fair point. This spurred me to do some quick research into global arms dealers and diplomatic relations. Yeah, I’d say the USA is very much enabling Israel to commit genocide. It really grinds me up how nearly anyone who could have become president would have kept the exports going. I suppose if the USA hadn’t supplied them, Italy (more specifically Rome) would have been the next most likely arms dealer for Israel. They would have been a lot easier to diplomatically pressure into stopping arms-deals though. Idk whether that would be enough to prevent the genocide, but it would probably have reduced the severity at least.
