The United States has shipped Munitions and weapons to Israel for decades. It didn't magically become about genocide just because you pretend it did. I would absolutely argue that we should reconsider or slow down or hold off on sending them more. But that wouldn't have stopped anything. And it would be foolish to think otherwise. And yet there are still so many fools.
Let's play a fantasy game for a moment. Biden cancels all future arms shipments to Israel. You're happy and the situation is now resolved right? The zionists in the house and Senate would never unanimously override his veto. And just continue those shipments. Then he would have burned any political Capital he had for negotiations and goodwill. Leaving us with less chance to stop it than before. And only empowering Netanyahu and the ghoulish zionists.
This fantasy black and white thinking is a curse. That you and so many others are so terminally online. Getting high on your own supply of passing this rhetoric back and forth that you believe it. Sometimes things are complicated and have nuance. But what's the point of nuance when you can just virtue signal for nothing and get nothing in return. You won. The Biden ministration nor the Harris administration will be sending any more arms or support to Israel after january. And no one will be arguing for a ceasefire either. Everyone is saved. And you certainly weren't played a fool. Congratulations.
They're on the other side of the globe. None of it affects them personally and never did.
I'd say you're right. But they need to understand that capitalists will always need to find someone new to exploit, and fascists will always need to find someone new to scapegoat. They're only safe on the other side of the world so long.
Absolutely. The leopard is coming for their face.
Don't worry, they'll find something else to be mad about.
