The Republican presidential candidate ridiculously claimed that Biden is "trying to hold" Bibi back, as the Israeli prime minister continued to ruthlessly bomb Lebanon and Gaza.

“He’s doing a good job,” Trump saidabout the Israeli leader. “Biden is trying to hold him back, just so you understand, Biden is more superior to the VP. He’s trying to hold him back, and he probably should be doing the opposite, actually. I’m glad that Netanyahu decided to do what he had to do, but it’s moving along pretty good.”

      So you admit then, that Palestinians committed an act of genocide against Israel on Oct. 7.

      And don’t deny it’s a genocide, cause you know what that means.

      And I should specify that no, I don’t seriously take that position. I’m really just here to be an asshole about faulty logic.

          Nope, I’m an anti-troll. Trolling is trying to provoke an emotional reaction. I’m trying to provoke a logical reaction.

              So it seems that with you, it’s not about the genocide, it’s just about America being involved. Because frankly, I never see you standing against Russia and their genocide. Is it because America is on the side you prefer in that conflict?

                We’re not supporting Russia’s genocide in Ukraine, either.

                I’m not upset about how the US is handling Ukraine, except that they’re not supporting Ukraine enough.

                Make your accusations overtly if you’re going to lie about me for opposing Netanyahu’s genocide.

                  Hate to break it you you, but… We aren’t supporting genocide anywhere. You need a new bit. This broken record genocide accusation thing is old.

                    There’s a genocide going on in Gaza, for which we are supplying weapons. That’s support.

      I’m not going to argue this with you. Just call me a “gEnoCiDe sUpPoRtEr” and begone.

        Would you prefer a genocide denier, since you’re pretending they’re not the same thing?

          Did you purposefully ignore that I said in my comment that I absolutely agree that it’s happening?

          See?

          It’s so easy to get you to prove the accusations against you. You know I didn’t deny shit and anyone that can read can see that, yet you accuse anyway in an obvious display of bad faith trolling.

            Genocide denial is genocide support. Particularly in cases where an obvious genocide is taking place. Not all genocide support is genocide denial.

              If someone says “I don’t have cancer” when they have cancer, that doesn’t make them pro cancer. It’s just makes them in denial.

              Also… it’s amazing how quickly your comments are upvoted after you post. In a discussion chain that began 12 hours ago and was only recently updated. Seems it’s perfect timing for your support to swoop in. Also, it’s uncanny how often this happens to you.

              Hmm.
