    Biden and the US are still supplying them with weapons and money, and shielding them from the UN.

    Just because they drop a few meagre bits of aid and share some empty rhetoric doesn’t change shit.

    Biden and the US are still directly contributing to the war, that is the only thing that matters.

      Yes, providing aid to your ally’s enemy does change shit.

      And opening up a sustained aid pathway in direct defiance of your ally’s military policy and stated wishes definitely changes shit.

      US aid to Israel is not the only thing that matters, it is one small part, not very important with current Israeli stockpiles and the dozens of other countries that are supporting them anyway, the US stopping all military aid tomorrow would not affect the Israeli military for years.

        No.

        It is very fucking important. You don’t fight a fire by actively dumping fuel into it.

        If it takes a few weeks for their stockpiles to run out, than the best time to stop aid was weeks ago, the second best time is today.

          Israel has dozens of active allies providing them with military support and years of weapons stockpiles.

          If the US stops providing aid tomorrow, Israel can still indefinitely continue this war and others, for years or even decades unless they’re cut off by all their allies and the US loses its most potent leverage as long as netanyahu, a dictator, directs his very militarized, prejudiced, and polarized country.

            And if the US doesn’t stop tomorrow they can continue forever.

            It’s a very basic concept here, stop defending weapons to genociders.
