Just to be clear I didn’t switch from X to Bluesky to interact with smarmy, arsey or downright offensive accounts.

I’ll block these accounts. I won’t justify that - it’s my account, my rules!

Let’s discuss, agree, disagree, agree to disagree but keep it civil & respectful. Otherwise it’s adios … !

Which is why of course Biden kept vetoing UN resolutions for a ceasefire and continued to supply Israel with the weapons to start and prolong the genocide.

Biden was fully aligned with Netanyahu. To suggest otherwise is pure fantasy!

If you've never been to Gaza, you won't appreciate what the yellow line means. Basically Israel now holds most of Gaza's small but important agricultural land. Continued Israeli occupation, which I judge the likely outcome, makes Gaza even more unliveable and more dependent on outside goods.

Along with Biden, Harris and Blinken!

Biden was always claiming he had ‘a ceasefire in the works’. Yet at the same time Biden kept vetoing UN ceasefire resolutions. Biden was a liar!

The genocide that Biden was complicit in for over a year. By the time he’d gone, Gaza was already a pile of rouble and most of the slaughter of unarmed civilians had already taken place!

Viscount Pontypandy @viscountpontypandy.bsky.social · 1h

Biden supplied the weapons for Israel to carry out a genocide knowing what they were being used for, what the casualties were, that they included women & children & by passing Congress to get them to Israel as quickly as possible.

He is complicit in genocide & a war criminal. He belongs in prison!

This really highlights how negotiations between Israel and Palestine are negotiations between an occupier and an occupied people.

Joe Biden supplied the weapons that Israel used to commit the genocide. He knew what they were being used for, what the casualties were, that they were civilians including women & children and even by-passed Congress to get the weapons to Israel as quickly as possible.

He is complicit in genocide!

Zack Polanski continues to impress. People want authentic good communicators that cut through the noise and Zack seems to be delivering this.

Probably easier to do here in the UK but I’m with you all the way. In Wales we have Plaid Cymru & the Green Party as options.

They’re the only options for me as both support Palestinian rights & recognise Israel’s genocide there.

They also support Welsh independence so win-win for me! 😎
