    Its weird because he acts helpless when literally, Israel could not have/ can not do what they continue to do with out the US munitions to do so.

    Like he really doesn’t give a fuck that he’s alienated the upper Midwest and literally any one under 30 over this issue.

      and his campaign keeps insisting that this is the most important election of our lives and we must compromise to join together; while simultaneously refusing to compromise to join together on this and multiple other issues.

      While I’m with you on not sending these fuckers any weapons, they do not at all need ours. They have an extremely well established military.

        They don’t though. They’ve got a healthy defense industry that exports weapons, but they still rely on the US for many of these specific weapons. They could make replacements for these weapons, sometime in the future, but they don’t have domestic production going. Why would they, when they have all these free coupons for American weaponry?

            Still do. Aid bills regularly include billions for the zionist colony on stolen Palestinian land, mostly to be used to purchase American weapons systems. So we give them money that they mostly use to enrich US arms manufacturers who donate to domestic political campaigns and call that foreign aid. This has been going on for decades. It’s not a new thing but something so regular it doesn’t even get mentioned most years.

            That’s the coupons for American weaponry. The money mostly has to be spent to buy American weaponry, which has built up this dependence on us for certain weapons that we very much could use for leverage but mostly have refused to do (outside of the recent big bomb pause).

    Empty words.

    He said the ground invasion of Rafah was a red line that he wouldn’t support them after it.

    They invaded Rafah. He continues to support them.

    Now he’s so “oh no please don’t occupy Gaza”. Empty words, no more.

    I thought this was was supposed to go until Hamas was destroyed, and it looks like they’ve been re-occupying previously “cleared” areas up north.

    Almost as if this operation had no solid achievable goals and was just an exercise in over zealous retribution, killing as many Palestinians until they felt they got even.

    At least we know now that Joe thought that number was 40,000 , I’m afraid to see what netanyahu’s is.

    I heard Biden is serious this time. He’s going to send Bibi a very strongly written letter to accompany the next shipment of napalm.

      Oh no, now that you said that the Israeli AI will have Israel bomb the White House.
