    The US: hey Israel, you doing a genocide? Here’s money with no strings or requirements attached!!!

    This a huge win for white supremacist and antisemitic conspiracy theorists.

    That’s how you change a Biden vote to a vote for no one. Need to stop funding that genocide stuff

        If the choices are “enthusiastic genocide” and “genocide with some light tut-tutting”, then democracy failed.

          Democracy didn’t fail us, corporate media fucked us.

          A very large portion of what any of us know about a given politician or policy is from corporate media and they absofuckinglutley have a desired outcome even if it’s as simple as using misleading ragebait just to get views. It leaves us less capable of making good decisions.

      If the US completely cut off aid to Israel it would make 0 difference. We should cut them off foreign aid since they don’t need it, as they are definitely a rich country, but they have tons of money and even if they didn’t the current leadership in Israel would spend whatever they had. I don’t think that anything short of a hostile invasion will get Israel to stop but I’d love to be wrong.

      With that being said Congress - not the president - allocates this money. Look at how many votes Bernie’s bill to attempt to put restrictions on that aid got, neither party is going to do more than agitate people online about it.

    By the time the next president is sworn into office, I feel like the genocide will be over, considering they are targeting Rafah which is quite literally the last stand for Gazans since they are backed up to the wall against Egypt’s border.

    There’s no way Biden is winning this election on “not Trump”

        If this is your only response to people righteously furious that “Our” person is single-handedly enabling a genocide to take place, well, you have bigger problems then just Trump.

    God I wanted this to be fake so badly. NBC certainly doesn’t make corroboration easy to find either. But at the end of their Ukraine segment on February 17th (18th?) they confirm it right before transitioning to the next segment. Talk about trying to bury the story.
