(53,722 posts)And no one that I've seen on DU has claimed that they are. The outcry on DU has been about innocent civilians whether they are Jewish, Palestinian, or aid workers from around the world. We can oppose a right-wing authoritarian leader like Netanyahu and brutal Hamas terrorists at the same time.
I agree that there is nothing Biden can do, though I think many would like to see him publicly take a more definitive stand. He knows more about foreign policy than I do, so I am hopeful he is working behind the scenes to help end this horrific war.
As for Afghanistan and Iraq, I do remember many of us on the left being outraged by Bush and Cheney's wars, the loss of innocent lives, and the use of black sites and torture. And of course, we were right.
