    While your snarky comment is technically right, you seem to be intentionally ignoring this person’s actual point.

    Sure, they’ll still genocide without the US’ help. But that doesn’t mean we should continue helping them?

    Besides, having a country that tends to ally with Israel stop providing them weapons might actually make them consider their actions more. Doubtful, but still infinitely more useful than continuing to give aid.

      Where did I say we should? I agree that we should stop providing them weapons.

      But to pretend that the US (and by extension, Joe Biden) is somehow a cause of the continuation of the war is to knowingly inflate the US’s role and engage in a fallacy of understated evidence. Netanyahu is fighting a holy war, and he’ll sacrifice as many children and zealots upon that altar to maintain his grip on power.

      That’s the point. People need to stop talking and acting like it’s Joe Biden’s fault or that he has some intrinsic power to stop it, because that’s factually incorrect.
