IIUC, you’re telling me that when it comes to Palestine, Biden is no better than Trump, or conversely, Trump is no worse than Biden.

Correct, and I'm strongly opposed to the concerted effort to white wash Biden in this regard, considering it tantamount to soft genocide denial.

which is why I wouldn’t be so quick to call someone who thinks one isn’t as bad as the other an apologist for fascism.

It may be unintentional, or well meaning, but ultimately it does serve to apologize for fascism. And I'm particularly distasteful at the moment because I'm see a strong concerted push to spread the idea. We are essentially seeing history being rewritten in front of us.

Assuming he is that bad—which again I'm not sure, though I think he is or close to it—but when someone calls me a fascist, I find it hard to take them seriously. It's like when someone accuses me of having TDS my typical reply is of course that I indeed have TDS, anybody who doesn't worship Trump has TDS.
