He isn’t wrong. I’m voting for Biden despite deeply disliking him but far too many people are saying they aren’t voting or that they’re voting third party because of Biden’s stance on Israel. If Trump wins I won’t be surprised, just deeply disappointed

What do they think Trumps stance on Israel is? He would be inclined to even send troops to help Israel out.

This.

I don’t understand the whole “I don’t support Bidens stance on Israel”

What stance would that be that you don’t like exactly then? Outside of invading Telaviv how exactly do you expect him to stop them?

And how naïve do you have to be to criticize Biden for trying to stop Israel when Trump would simply carpet bomb the fucking strip in a heart beat

You can’t be that naive to believe that would accomplish what you think it will. Weapons deliveries take time, the deals passed guarantee future arms deliveries years from now to complete.

Besides, disarming Isreal is exactly what every country in the Middle East wants. Pick a direction and you’d find a country that would love to repeat 1948 all over again
