      So we should probably stop giving them bombs.

          Russia maybe? Not sure that matters, though.

          I’m pretty sure the US isn’t giving them rockets so we’re good on that.

            Hamas is literally digging up water pipes to turn them into rockets so in a roundabout way they kind of are giving them stuff to build rockets

            Well so long as Hamas is getting rockets, Israel needs them too. When you figure out how to stop rockets getting to Hamas, then we can talk about disarming Israel.

                Yes it is, unless you think Israel doesn’t have a right to protect it’s citizens and you’re okay with genocide against the Israeli Jews.

                  Israel is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. They are not at any serious risk of genocide and they don’t need our money to keep killing Palestinians. It’s the Palestinians who need help preventing genocide, not fucking Israel.

                    They do need help, they can;t afford the Iron Dome without aid, and without the Iron Dome Israeli casualties would have been drastically higher.

                    Why do you support genocide of Israelis?

                  Of course Israel has a right to defend its people. Of course, it failed to do that on October 7. Still, i can’t argue that most people consider this kind of revenge to be also a component of self defense. Certainly that was true, for example, with the US’s war in Afghanistan.

                  However, speaking of genocide, Hamas (hell, all of Palestine) is not in a position to seriously threaten the Israeli people as a whole nor the Israeli Jews specifically.

                  Nor does this mean the US in particular is required to unconditionally provide an unlimited number of weapons to Israel.

                    Why did the bell ring immediately after Hamas started losing? You don’t get to perform an offensive, have less success than expected and then simply call off the war.

                    The Arab states have been trying to do this literally since the creation of Israel. The only reason it hasn’t occurred yet is because they lost all the wars they started.

                    is required to unconditionally provide an unlimited number of weapons to Israel.

                    Those weapons are the only reason Hamas is not in a position to seriously threaten the Israeli people. Without them Israel would be vastly less able to defend its civilians.

                    You take away arms assistance to Israel without dealing with Hamas, and you will end up with many, many dead Israelis.

                Why not though? If Hamas has weapons they’re going to use them whether Israel can respond or not.

                    Why not?

                    On second thought, I don’t really care what you think an answer will be. Blocked. Argue or don’t respond.
