    I’ll admit it right now. Not that it matters why Netanyahu is refusing to negotiate.

    You seem to be under the impression that “negotiation” means “asking nicely and giving up if they say no.” If Netanyahu refuses to cooperate, you stop giving him weapons until he does. Obviously. How bad do you have to be at negotiating to not realize that?

      I’d imagine they have enough munitions and suppliers for it not to matter, and doing so will simply deteriorate relations, causing the US to hold less sway with its one ally in the region.

      Nah, that’s too nuanced - just don’t give them guns and they’ll stop.

        It doesn’t really matter what you imagine. It’s worked before and I bet it’ll work again. And even if it doesn’t and Israel is entirely independent from the US and totally needs nothing from us… Why is that a reason to supply them. Great they don’t need our shit let’s stop giving it to em.

        Hold less sway with an ally… What good is that sway of we can’t stop a genocide with it? Or really slow it down even a pinch? I’d rather people doing genocide don’t like us actually… They’re evil.

          “I’d imagine” is American parlance for “most likely” not “I believe it therefore its real” dipshit.

          You think Israel is using US munitions on a hand-to-mouth basis? What a braindead take.

          Same thing with international politics and diplomacy. How the fuck are you more qualified to speak to it when you have no idea what unintended consequences could happen? Professor Dipshit over here solved the problem with Israel everyone, so pack it in and hope he solves world hunger next.

      So you admit that Trump is actively working to prolong the genocide in Gaza and then you ignore that and come straight back with your weird logic that the people who are trying to stop him are culpable and the people trying to get him to kill more gets a pass from you, and you want me to believe you care about Gaza?! You do not, you’re just cynically using it as a political football to try and win the election for stupid, senile and angry old man Donald “finish them” “best king of Israel” Trump.

        So you believe that Biden should be completely immune to all criticism no matter what he does so long as he’s not Trump? I should just invent a fantasy world where Biden is perfect the way you do because acknowledging reality might hurt Kamala’s chances? If I was interested in doing that, then I would’ve done it with the beliefs I was raised with, and I’d be a religious conservative. Fortunately, I’m willing to think critically and face reality, instead of putting party above truth, as you seem to be suggesting I do right now. I want no part in any group or political ideology that requires me to lie or ignore the truth.

        Keep repeating that conspiracy theory to yourself all you want. Ad hominem is the only response you libs can ever muster. You can’t refute what I actually say, so you just focus on trying to paint me as a secret Trump supporter. Weak.
