    I don’t know that it matters anymore. This so clearly breaks with stated American values that’s it’s now just a matter of time before we break ties with Israel. I’m willing to bet the Russians and Chinese are already setting up shop there.

      Russia and China have both condemned Israel’s genocide of Palestinians and called for ceasefires. On the other hand, the US is actively funding the genocide. That’s US values.

        Yeah I get that. And there’s going to be an internal reckoning over those values too. You can’t tell entire generations of people that we’re the good guys and genocide is a bad guy thing and not have a consequence.

        This is literally the doing of a tiny group of Americans that can’t really be touched until this upcoming November. I’m partially just sitting here in horror watching Biden shoot himself in the foot repeatedly.

        And while Russia and China have made statements condemning Israel, if we managed to convince Biden to cut them loose, they’d be there in an instant. It’s all an influence game.
