The only outrage is that it didn't happen sooner.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

If you're wondering why:
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee delivered more than $3.7 million in November to the campaigns of U.S. lawmakers, the most it has ever doled out in a single month, according to a new filing with the Federal Election Commission.

3.7 million in the month after the attack across the board to both parties.
4.2 million to Biden since 1990, over a million more than second place,

You may recognize number 2 as the guy with closest full of gold currently under FBI investigation, 3 as one of the least popular presidential candidates in America history. And then party leaders from both sides of the aisle.
Our government was bought and paid for, now Israel is calling in it's debts
The tail is wagging the dog. This is the natural growth of the military industrial complex
That is money the US gave Israel in the first place for the purpose of imperialism, a portion coming back to fund the campaigns of politicians that further enable that is a facet of that.
So I agree with the statement that the state of Israel and the terrorist organization Hamas are not equivalent. That doesn't mean both can't be committing evil, criminal acts. Both are embracing evil tactics in this fight.
Of course an aggressor terrorist organization is not equivalent with a legitimate nation defending itself from attack. But when the nation goes on to commit terrible evil, even in the name of self-defense, that deserves to be answered with justice.
Pro-genocide down-voters cordially invited to fuck themselves with a fork sideways.
Except Israel isn't a legitimate nation, they're a colonialist apartheid state
I guess one can quibble about the definition of legitimate, but it is the elected representative government of a population. That's a far cry from a terrorist organization.
Hamas is also the elected representative government of a population. Not recently elected mind you, but they were elected
here is no equivalence - none - between Israel and Hamas.
A week ago he is saying that Israel may have used bombs to commit human rights violations, suddenly that evidence doesn't exist?
Is the dementia hitting Biden that hard?
Exclusive footage of Biden realizing that the bombs he was sending to a bunch of genocidal maniacs might be used to commit genocide:
Outrageous they haven't done it sooner?
He's correct. There is no comparison between Israel and Hamas.
Israel has much more blood on its hands.
Literally the meme where he's asking if he might be wrong, but decides that no, the it's everyone else that is wrong.
Biden can suck a left nut. It's past time there be consequences.
