Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Because it's THE U.S. CONGRESS. That member is one of a majority that controls the U.S. congress. For another example, the bills to prohibit Gaza aid through UNRWA were passed, twice, by veto-proof majorities in both houses. But folks here eat up the slop that places all the blame for it on Biden. 200

Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Naively assuming good faith from Netanyahu was a tragic mistake of epochal proportions. Almost certainly, Netanyahu used Biden's past experience with 9/11 to hook into his emotions and manipulate him, while coordinating with Trump, to successfully steal Gazan lives and property, and U.S. democracy.theguardian.comTim Kaine: Biden knows Netanyahu ‘played’ him in early months of Gaza warSenator and leading foreign policy voice in Democratic party tells the Guardian Biden has come to realise the limits of his influence 300
Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Awww....somebody doesn't want us caring about all the Gazans who are still alive having their land stolen from them. In the cult of Trump, you must never stop blaming Biden for the crimes of Trump's buddy, and Trump's actual war crimes are "redevelopment" with the Gazans and their rights forgotten. 134

Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026You said "Literally no one is doing this." A New York Times opinion contributor, for one, was "doing it."

Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I have not noticed. And people here cite articles, from ostensibly reputable sources, which push outright false information about Biden while gushing over Trump like he's the savior of Gaza. That is the problem I am calling out. 100
Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I think most of your arguments are valid - except the often repeated claim that Biden "did nothing."

Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026"Over the top" is USING LIES to push a narrative. Saying that Biden could have argued for refunding UNWRA if he wanted to - that is honest. But what that article says IS NOT HONEST. That difference is the difference between democracy and fascism. One thrives on truth. The other thrives on lies. 100
Bill Walter @billwalter.bsky.social · 09/10/2026And here's that same author, who packed half a dozen false facts into his opinion article to discredit Biden, telegraphing his love for Trump: "...Trump genuinely deserves great credit for [...] ramming through the Gaza Strip ceasefire and release of hostages and detainees.
