    If you aren’t anti-arab a nice gesture might be to stop murdering them.

      All they have to do is pledge to follow the Leahy Law…

      Israel won’t comply, which means we legally can’t provide arms. Kamala doesn’t even have to be “the bad guy”, she can just say she’s choosing to follow American law and if Israel wants arms then they can comply like every other recipient has to.

      It’s really as easy as saying:

      If elected I will not break American law to send arms to foreign countries.

      Boom, election locked up.

        How many voters would she lose if she declared intent to stop assisting Isreal?

        She might possibly gain a few, but would she lose any?

          Is not about voters, it’s about money. Both parties are bribed to keep it going.

          She would likely gain voters because she would be distinguishing herself from Biden who remains deeply unpopular.

            Yeah, I would hope there are more anti-genocide voters but i doubt it, honestly.

          She’d gain more than she’d lose, even before counting in the electoral college. Conditioning Israeli aid is supported by the majority of people of Democrats, Republicans and independents, and the people who don’t want it don’t care too much either way. Definitely not more than left wingers who want the genocide to stop. In terms of votes it’s a no brainer.

      Best they can do is thoughts and prayers. Oh wait, that was school shootings. Never mind then.

          Israelis don’t have the guts to even look the children in their eyes as they slaughter them. Cowards.

            When they actually face real soldiers like in Southern Lebanon they get their arses handed to them.

            All they know is blow up pager, burn refugee camp, bomb hospitals, shoot pregnant women in belly, rape men to death, and sniper bullets in kid’s heads.

              Yes, because condemnation of Israel is an automatic voice of support of what happened on 10/7. Nice logic there buddy.

              Implying that the only two options are supporting Israel committing genocide or Hamas committing terrorism is like straight out of of the Israeli regime’s playbook.

      Okay, now let us know how you plan to keep Hamas and Hezbollah from continuing to attack Israel. Or does it not count when Jews are being genocided?

        After burning those kids alive, honestly, I’ve given up caring what happens to the people in Israel.

            Apparently the people don’t care enough to stop their soldiers from burning kids alive. Why should I care what happens to them?

              That’s pretty reductive. How much power do you think the Israeli people have?

              I’m American. I know my country is funding this genocide. All I have is my vote, which has very little impact. I care a lot, but other than my vote I’m powerless to stop my government from arming Israel.

              The Israeli citizens are similarly powerless.

    Setting aside the hypocrisy, is it just me or is it infuriating how the whole article is a whole lot of nothing?

    This is pure Liberal brainrot, sometimes reality feels like a parody of itself. I dont even have much to say tbh, im too tired for this bs.
