The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military. The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said. President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.

This is the equivalent of someone taking your house and throwing you in the basement and then when you come out and attack decades later they fight back and say its for self defense. Please.

So Native Americans should just start murdering Americans until they leave? One state is the only equitable solution at this point.

  1. I'm not against a one state solution
  2. Stolen land/property should be given back
  3. Your example is disanalgous, run the clock back to when the colonies were being formed. If a colonist from Europe came and took their house or the land they use or live on they have every right to fight back.
  4. If a colonist attacks me and kills my family I have a right to fight back. If I fight back then its not self defense for them but for me.

No one in Israel wants that.

Also, this comparison is very apt. Israelis explicitly want to get to the point where they have the land and can just give land acknowledgments. This view though is dependent on "Never Again'' meaning nothing.

20% of Israeli Jews and most Arab/Palestinian Israelis are in support of a one state solution, with numbers increasing as the older generations die off. Vilification of Israelis is no different than the dehumanization of Palestinians that you’re protesting. No group of people deserves simplification.

I edited my comment while you responded. That was not done maliciously.

[–] disguy_ovahea 3 points 7 months ago

I did the same after reading your edit. Lol

[–] Dran_Arcana 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I thought most surveys showed like 30-40% of israelis were in support of a single-state solution?

[–] disguy_ovahea 1 points 7 months ago

That’s a two-state solution, and not really equitable to Palestinians.

Oh they haven't waited in the basement for decades. This has been an ongoing thing since Israeli terrorists took control of the region in 1948.
