    Biden could and SHOULD do a whole lot more to pressure Israel to end it. He should have said to stop on day 1.

    But any aid or supplies we do or don’t send to them wouldn’t make a difference. They have an entire arsenal of military options and resources and have all the control and power over Gaza.

      I respectfully disagree, I think the military aid and supplies that the US sends them definitely enables the disastrous policies against the Palestinians.

        Not just enables, it’s the only thing that allows israel to do it.

        Hezbollah and Iran could completely flatten israel if America wasn’t guarding israel with an entire fleet.

        Furthermore the bomber parts are American and European. What israel makes in house is mostly ground warfare stuff which is a lot less capable to slaughter civilians like this.

          This is exactly correct.

          And that’s why the aid continues.

          America is thinking of hundreds of millions of lives in the next 100 years, and in the grand scheme of things what’s happening right now is sad and tragic for a footnote.

      The US is an ally of Israel because they are the only relatively stable country in the Middle East with Western values that allows the US a proxy base to gather more natural resources such as oil. Look at the new oil pipeline their building off the coast of Gaza.

        If by western values you mean Genocide and Lebensraum expansion, I was hoping that we moved past the Nazi shit. We’re not supposed to keep doing that part.
