      The US is supplying the vast majority of weapons, paying billions of aid and vetoing any UN resolution against one party of the genocide. Also the US built a landing pier, allegedly for delivering aid. Instead of aid it delivered soldiers who slaughtered some 300 people in a “hostage rescue mission”. Also the US provides surveillance flights, shoots down missiles and drones sent to stop the genocider from genociding…

      Saying the US is not a party in this, and insinuating that the US has no options to stop this is absurd. The US could stop the weapons flow and stop the diplomatic cover and this genocide would be over within days.

      Fucking Ronald Reagan stopped an Israeli onslaught in Lebanon with a single phone call. The US has that power. Biden and Harris choose not to use it every single day. Instead they use their power to make sure enough weapons are there that the slaughter can continue.

          “we armed the bully with brass knuckles and body armor and all the implicit endorsement that kind of thing brings but he usually just chokes out his victims with his bare hands so AKSHUALLY we are blameless here” 🤓☝️

          That is not an argument against not supplying bombs, artillery and tank shells, fighter jets… And the vast majority of Israeli attacks are not sniper attacks. Also without the US sending missile systems to protect Israel against the neighbors intervening, that gives the cover under which the snipers can act with impunity.

            No, what I’m saying is stopping the supply of arms won’t stop the genocide. Folks who make that argument are kidding themselves.

            There is only one way to stop the genocide and that’s a full scale invasion of Israel to separate the two parties and force them to behave, but nobody has the balls to float that idea.
