You know what would urge them? Stop supplying the bombs.
Saw some idiot on Al Jazeera say “stopping weapons transfers really won’t do anything, as the US has given them enough to last years and years.” (they also have domestic production)
Like, he’s right but holy fucking shit, dude.
Big “Putting murderers in prison doesn’t stop murders from happening, so there’s no point” energy.
Even if they have reserve weapons, they are still reliant of a steady flow of US Military Weapons. If that ends, they are in major trouble. Especially with the Internal unrest in Israel and their reputation on the international stage.
Absolutely. Of all places to see rhetoric like that, Al Jazeera? Granted, it was just some US Defense dog they were interviewing about the current escalation.
Netanyahu even approved the bombing of Lebanon’s Capital, using US built Bombs and US built Planes, while on US Soil, with the approval of another 8.7 Billion Dollars of Military Weapons to Israel.
Here, take these bombs.
WHOA WTF MAN, I DIDN’T SAY USE THEM!!
Also here, have some more bombs.
Those are for defense only! It says so right on the box! \s
“The bombs are purely for decoration, not destruction. But they’re yours now, so… do whatever you want with them, we don’t care.”
-United States, sometime after the settler colony of Israel was formed
Kind of has a Willy Wonka “no, don’t, stop” vibe
Willy Wonka smiled as Harold Hezbollah came from behind the curtain.
“You! You started all this!” shouted Charlie.
“Calm down, Charlie,” said Wonka. “He’s working for me.”
“Yes,” said Hezbollah. “If we kill a few innocent people, the war goes on forever, and we get more and more money.”
Wonka held Charlie by the shoulders. “Young man,” he said, “this fantastical arms factory will be yours as long as you promise to blame everyone else but yourself, and you keep trying to invent more ways to kill innocent people.”
Charlie thought about it for a moment. He did love killing innocent people. Frankly, when he blew up that hospital in Gaza it made him happy for as much as a whole minute, a whole minute of pleasure lighting up the dark cavern of his hateful heart.

“Yes!” Wonka screamed, as Charlie plunged the dagger into the defenceless Oompa Loompah’s chest [text omitted]
THE END
Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.
It’s insane that a country whose economy is 1/8th that of California alone and whose population is 35x smaller has the US by the balls in this way.
For some context, California has the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world when compared to nations.
So seems a bit misleading to compare it to that particular state. Unless you were doing it for effect
For sure, though I could use 14 States as examples that are larger. Not even counting all the foreign aid we give to Israel in the first place — it’s just absurd we have to kiss their ass so much partly because of AIPAC.
Israel has a similar population and GDP to Michigan (and a similar land area to New Hampshire).
Despite being a swing state, Michigan has nowhere near as much influence over US national policy.
Any country would if they had the US Military Industrial complex backing them up.
Between Israel militarily, Russia politically, and China economically, it’s a wonder we are still even asked to vote.
Joe Biden is a disgrace. Empty words from an asshole that is supplying the bombs
Supporting genocide will be Biden’s legacy
Biden isn’t running for president. Between Trump and Harris who do you think will result in the most harm?
They didn’t mention Harris, Trump, or the election.
That’s how sycophantic and unhinged they’re getting. They’re becoming schizophrenic, imagining tankies everywhere 😳
No criticism allowed or you’re a tankie. You must append ‘im voting harris’ to every negative thing you say no matter how true or the idiots will swarm you.
What’s your point?
thank goodness at this point these are two separate conversations
Between Trump and Harris who do you think will result in the most harm?
If humanity keeps having the choice of big harm or small harm, and tends towards the small harm, living beings will keep being harmed, on purpose and by conscious choice.
This is why I don’t feel emotionally connected to being human. Humans are machines for making their human world worse, and sadly they bring along the other living beings they share the planet with as they do it.
When you mature out of highschool you’ll understand why your comment is ridiculous.
A fascinating, but flawed, attempt to be relevant. I’ll take your comment with me to the educational institution I teach at, which is an older age group than High School, and consider it in the light of the maturity of my students. I’m pretty sure we both know what I will find!
When we both die, will it be in a world which humans have made better? Or a world where humans oppress each other for personal gain? Because I know which world I live in right now, and it includes you being rude to people in order to feel better about yourself.
Well then, I feel sorry for your students if this is the way you talk to them.
I think Harris will be responsible for another 40,000 innocent children being slaughtered, but who knows if trump is elected.
So between Biden and Harris it will be 80,000 or more innocents slaughtered.
Again, I don’t know about Trump.
(These numbers are very low estimates. The actual number of innocents slaughtered will most likely be up to ten times this amount. This is just the count of the bodies and parts and pieces of bodies that we can actually account for.)
Again,
I don’t knowI am pretending not to know about Trump.This is so thinly veiled, it’s just sad.
We know Trump will support whoever gives him the most money.
Biden and Harris have policy they have actually put time and thought into that support genocide.
That’s the difference.
If you are taking this as support for Trump I can’t help you son, get your head out of your ass maybe?
But to be clear, a vote for Harris is a vote for genocide. You could say both sides, but with a vote for Trump having your head in your ass is most likely the least of your problems
I’m urging our kids to vote for Kamala while also explaining why I am leaving president blank this year
Pathetic
Username checks out
Aren’t dancing bears a Russian thing?
Trump makes the news multiple times saying he’ll back Isreal tenfold what Biden has been doing.
“I don’t know about Trump.”.
Gtfo
Trump is a buffoon who doesn’t have any actual policy.
Biden and Harris have actual policy and they whole heartedly endorse the genocide.
Trump is a fucking idiot.
Biden and Harris intellectually support genocide.
Trump supports only himself.
While you’re not wrong, you know damn well Trump is more than happy to escalate the situation. And you know he’s said he will multiple times.
So don’t pretend he’s an unknown.
It’s a no win situation in my opinion, which means I can’t vote for Harris. President will be blank.
I can stand on my soapbox because I live in a blue state, thank goodness gracious
If you’re not going to vote, then shut up. You have no pull in the game, you’re just making noise.
I’m beginning to think Biden has a humiliation kink.
Or an Israel fetish, which may have been evident his whole career. No idea why. AIPAC donations? I’m sure someone has analyzed it, I’m just too lazy to look it up
It’s AIPAC.
Don’t forget CUFI.
Yes. John Hagee has been a notorious televangelist charlatan for decades and now he has a PAC that targets both wealthy Christians and Jews. Along with AIPAC, CUFI raises enough money to buy genocides.
They’re even bigger than AIPAC too.
Well then stop paying for it homeslice
He literally is beholden to the defense contractors. Seems like all they care about is selling bombs, so we’re stuck. Israel is our 51st state.
Shit, I’m glad I’m not literally beholden to my own contractor. “You need to build a second floor” “But I don’t want a second floor. Can we just go ahead with the bathroom?” “NO! AND YOU’RE GETTING AN ELEVATOR.”
Fucking eh
If only he had some way of reducing the amount of bombing.
Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you’re the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.
While we’re at it, Russian full scale invasion of Ukraine opened up akin to the shock and awe campaign in 2003 Iraq.
Of course it does not justify the invasion, but the world still remembers WMD’s that weren’t found. American leadership didint think those through too well.
“Anyways here’s another $2bil”
And if Israel DOESNT then they’ll get ONE LESS BULLET! THAT will Teach Them to Embarrass Biden while MURDERING Children!
nice one Joe Biden. tell them that shit. say it some more. yea. fuck
“Quit it you guys, I’m super cereal this time, you’ve got to cut it out.”
At least station some US troops there or something
They’re here to make sure the bombs are shipped to Israel correctly /s
Has he tried running three circles then getting on his knees and barking? Israel promises he can have him a bonus ice cream if he does that.
