    I doubt it. Netanyahu has said he won’t stop no matter what. We should cut aid on principle, but I am doubtful that it would actually accomplish anything.

    They don’t listen, because their grudge is ancient.

      Netanyahu said he won’t stop, because he knows Biden will go around Congress to avoid a small delay if Israel says they need weapons for the genocide.

      Imagine telling a toddler that you don’t believe in any form of punishment including withholding rewards.

      Eventually the toddler understands that you can’t make them do anything

      That’s basically Bidens foreign policy regarding Israel. The only part surprising is no Israeli official has called Biden antisemitic for this yet. They’re always calling him that because they can call him anything.

      They have zero consequences with Biden, and trump just requires some compliments to get the same.

      So Israel is going to do whatever they want, including starting WW3.

      And there’s not a damn thing any American can do about it.

      Which will depress turnout, and could possibly hand trump the White House.

      But fuck it, apparently the only two options are the two oldest presidential candidates in American history. And we can’t even make protest votes during the primary because that’s somehow voting for trump in the Dem primary

      Israel simply doesn’t have the capability to do this shit on their own. They can’t wage lengthy wars without outside help; there’s a reason Biden has been selling them weapons.

      They don’t listen because the UN has been trashing on them for 70 years due to the number of middle east countries in it throwing their influence around. The one thing nobody has bothered coming up with is an actual solution to the issues they’re facing.

        And this is kind of the point I was getting at. There’s a lot of factors (geopolitical, domestic, religious) influencing the decision to make war, and they go beyond simple binaries like having US support or not.
