Progressives acknowledging the fact of genocide is a good first step, and it’s useful that Ocasio-Cortez and others have done so — “I think [unconditional aid to Israel] enabled a genocide in Gaza,” she said in Munich — but it is not in and of itself sufficient. Before anyone in the party can move on to selling a post-Biden vision of human-rights-first foreign policy, they must address what accountability for the war criminals in the Biden administration — those who aided, armed, and funded genocide — should look like.
As far as I know we arent causing those other genocides with an endless supply of american money and weapons? We arent exactly the world’s policeman. What makes the gaza holocaust unique is that we played a role in it, and both sides of the US governments party system are corrupted by a foriegn theofascist powers interests. Sudan doesnt openly bribe our congress and brag about it.
