Sure but that’s the fear and they don’t want to be blamed for deaths of Israelis/Jews at the hands of Hamas and Hezbollah
I think people are calling for a wiping outing
It’s Hanukah?
NZA
LOL
fear getting wiped out by people you are wiping out, brehs
its not a reasonable fear, and even then the solution to that projected concern is direct intervention by the US
irresponsible usage of equipment was one of the principle fixtures of any ukraine support at every stage of that war lol. this entire thing has been a butthatwasdifferent.gif from a foreign policy standpoint.

The optics of not doing “enough” would be severe from all sides. Fear is rarely a reasonable emotion I would imagine.
Yeah. I mean if the government and populace had no issue with arming Saudi and the UAE to the teeth to kill farmers idk why people are hung up on 5k tank shells that Israel probably doesn’t need and has no practical application for but shrug. I’m not a fly on the wall in the state department at the end of the day, I know there was talk of taking some of the US stockpile from Israel to Ukraine idk if that ever happened.
the biggest problem with how this is framed is the idea that all of israel's security posture - goals priorities must-haves etc - is some kind of 'new' discussion. along with the idea that conditional support and approved usage is some sort of step beyond norms too. what 'enough' is has long since been established lolThe optics of not doing “enough” would be severe from all sides. Fear is rarely a reasonable emotion I would imagine.

It is the first time the Biden administration has declared an emergency to expedite arms shipments to the Middle East, which are controversial because of the civilian death toll from Israeli airstrikes.www.nytimes.com

It’s what Israel wants and the US supports, and what you also seem to be fine with.
that's basically what that decision says though

That’s clearly not the case.
I don’t think Israelis and Palestinians should share a border and that’s a goal that should be worked towards so both groups can live fulfilling lives.

B dawg said we’re going to eradicate the Palestinians as a matter of policy…that's basically what that decision says though
Going to need a pdf or something tbh
Did we ever see a final count of Americans killed and kidnapped? I’m genuinely curious. I would imagine that plays a roll in how the US gov sees the current events.
I don’t think we’re going to give Hamas or Islam Jihad weapons shipments so idk what the other side of the argument is.

The media is sensationalizing every twist and turn and laymen are rightfully frustrated and angry. Maybe big media thinks they’re doing their readers/watchers a service and showing “balance”. The nyt points out the mechanism has been commonly used sometimes controversially and sometimes no one bats an eyelash but the article has a strong !!! vibes.

That’s a disgusting thing to say.
Dictate where someone can live because why? Forgiveness is hard work. You think if Israel made genuine work to amends the settlers violence, Palestinians wouldn’t accept? That Palestinian wouldn’t stand up to Hamas if they had something tangible to hold on to?
