The genocidal intent of Zionism is baked into the ideology, ever since the beginning, even before the Balfour Declaration. The best way to understand this is to read the extensive literature by anti-Zionist Jews dating from the days of the Zionist Congresses before WW I. But this debate was ignored for a simple reason: the project focuseded on the support of the "Great Powers" and so long as this support was forthcoming, Zionists felt safe and avoided argumentation. As a practical matter, the idea of displacing a population in one state in order to create another state with a new population was loudly opposed by Rabbis and other thinking persons. And as soon as the crack-pot idea was attempted during the British Mandate, killings began. Any one who has looked into the history knows this. And today we have the consequences.
69% of Democrats are confident in Biden's ability ... I suppose the same would be true (or more even) from the Republicans for Trump's "ability." I have 0% confidence in either one or all of Congress. Even Rand Paul, the supposed non-interventionist and accountability "champion," can't utter the word "ceasefire."
Biden is incapable of any other response. He has made a career of backing Israel no matter what. Israel is always right. So he has no choice but to arm Israel lavishly and back ventures like invading Lebanon, no matter the strategic consequences. He is a fool who is too stupid to imagine a more rational path. It also pleases lobbyists, Biden's primary constituency.
