    To be fair, and I hate to play Devil’s advocate to this bullshit, but the US tried to share their “lessons learned” with Israel. The US repeatedly told Israel to not go full in like the US had done in Iraq and Afghanistan (read Felluja). After Fallujah, the US changed tactics and took a more “small strikeforce”, infiltrate and assassinate approach. Israel basically told the US to shut the fuck up and just started blasting.

    There’s nobody better in the world to tell you how to avoid war crimes than someone with decades of experience in committing war crimes.

      The US repeatedly told Israel

      While sending them 3 billion a year, if they wanted them to stop they would threaten to stop sending the money.

        Biden made that move with Ukraine to great success, why not now?

            Right now, yes. Hell even before the recent war broke out, when Biden threatened to withdraw US aid if Ukraine didn’t root out corruption (a move Trump complained about at the time and what stirred up all the controversy about Hunter Biden - Trump wanted corruption to remain) it proved very effective, Ukraine clearly did not want to lose the aid and dealt with the corruption as requested.

            What did you think I was talking about?? How was it a bad thing then when dealing with corruption, and why would it be a bad thing now dealing with war crimes?

            I’m sure if the US withdrew aid to Israel, it likely also wouldn’t exist for that much longer. Hence why it would be effective.
