I think I somewhat misunderstood you previous argument. As the original argument of the post-chain was the comparison of the Allies carpetbombing Germany (resulting in civilian casualties), and the attacks by Israel (which has also resulted in civilian casualties). I understood your post as justifying the civilian casualties behind their beliefs.

While I do not agree with your thought that people who fight against human-rights have their rights revoked. I can at least to some degree understand your point of view. It is my opinion murder should be an absolute last resort, and only in cases where a crime has been committed and no other options are available.

On the point of civilian deaths resulting from any attack (be it the Allies, Israel, Hamas or other). I don’t find it acceptable in any way. And that is why I used the words “twisted logic”. I understood your stance as anyone who thinks differently regarding LGBTQ-rights regardless of any crimes commited should be killed. Which I harshly disagree with.

So would Netanyahu also be considered as hiding behind women and children? He’s out in public, traveling and lives in Tel Aviv.

I’m trans. Doesn’t mean I want everyone who dislikes me to die. Wtf kind of twisted logic is that?

~×{ Why US supports Israel }×~

The US wants a foothold in the Middle East. If they are strong allies to Israel, Israel in turn can act as a base of operations as well as power projection for the US. This can in future make it easier for the US (and harder for it’s enemies) to influence politics in the area and extract resources. The US isn’t opposed to Palestine, it just doesn’t care about it.

~×{ Why Biden isn’t acting }×~

Biden isn’t halting weapon shipments to Israel simply because he doesn’t have to. So long as his powerbase - and the powerbase in the US at large - wants Israel as an ally. It would be stupid to go against what allows him power in the first place.

~×{ Morals & supression }×~

Morals in politics are at best a tool and at worst meaningless. The only way morals could come into play here was if it could be stirred into a grassroots (or astroturfed) movement that a very large amount of voters got behind. A new faction could then form and gain power from that movement. You’ve probably noticed that the possibility of that happening is actively supressed though:

• Encouraging a 2-party system makes it harder for new factions to be created. • Being Pro-Palestine is actively discouraged by people in power (not just in politics, look at celebrities). • Identity politics and Pro-Israel media making a grassroots movement harder to form.

You could argue a grassroots movement is forming amongst younger voters though bypassing newsmedia. But you’d still need politicians willing to risk using the movement. Not to mention the 2-party system is currently shutting it down either way since neither Trump nor Biden support the movement.

~×{ Political Power }×~

A politicians moves are dictated by what will let them keep or increase their power. Not by their morals or what they think is best for the country.

The easiest form of power to understand is money. In a large company the CEO who holds all the money the company makes, uses that money to make decisions which impacts the company and subsequently shareholders returns. The CEO has power so long as the shareholders allow them to. If the CEO no longer gives adequate returns to the shareholders, they are replaced with someone who will. In a company workers don’t hold any power over the CEO. Therefore as a rule they receive no reward besides a salary.

In a dictatorship the dictator uses the countrys money to reward the generals, tax collectors, police (and more) below them. Effectively giving them their return for their work. If the dictator doesn’t give adequate rewards or if someone else offers to give more rewards. The dictator is replaced via a coup. In a dictatorship the people don’t hold any power. Therefore they receive no reward and live impoverished lives.

Biden uses his power to reward the people below him in accordance to the power the hold. • He rewards his party by granting positions of power and passing laws they favor. • He rewards political donors by giving out tax cuts, government contracts, or passing favorable laws. • He rewards his voters by passing laws or choosing where to invest their tax money.

Keep in mind Biden follows the structure of power and doesn’t give rewards to lower power-holders that conflict with higher power-holders. For example Biden can reward companies with tax cuts even though it’s against the interest of the voters. This is because the power of the company is more valuable, since the power of voters is difficult to use in opposition to that reward. If Biden chose to reward the voters by raising the tax that the company had to pay. The power of the voters who would flip to vote for Biden would be less than the power the company holds. Therefore Biden would invite his opposition to reward the company giving the opposition power instead.

When Biden initiated his studen loan forgiveness program. It was not something he did out of the goodness of his heart. He did it because it would give him voter power and wouldn’t conflict with his other stronger powerbases.

This started as a much shorter message but I ended up writing multiple praragraphs to explain why I believe Biden is doing what he is doing.

This is only my basic understanding of how power structures work. I have never studied political sciences and this should all be taken with a pinch of salt.
