I don’t agree with what’s happening in Israel/Palestine either, but I’m more concerned at how often it’s being used as this “trump card” to lower Biden to Trump’s level. It’s still not remotely close.

There probably isn't a single politician that I fully agree with.

There are different levels of disagreement and what I'm pointing out is people trying to use Gaza as a way to fully discredit Biden as a candidate because they have no other scandals to use against him.

You're more concerned with how this will affect Biden than the actual genocide itself? That's what I'm pointing out you saying in your comment.

No, I'm more concerned with how the entire world will be impacted by electing Trump again. What's happening in Gaza will continue to happen whether we elect Biden or Trump.

Trump on Gaza:

“You’ve got to finish the problem,” Trump said on Fox News on Tuesday when asked about the war. “You had a horrible invasion that took place that would have never happened if I was president.”

He said on Oct. 11 that a future Trump administration would “fully support Israel defeating, dismantling, and permanently destroying the terrorist group Hamas,”

That month, his campaign also said that, if elected again, he would bar Gaza residents from entering the U.S. as part of an expanded travel ban.

Suggesting that the Gaza situation is a dealbreaker for Biden is trying to hold him to a higher standard than anyone holds Trump, and that higher standard by itself tells you who the better candidate is.
