            Policy is not necessarily backed by law. The US supports Israel because they’re a friendly power in the Middle East. It’s in the interests of the US to have friends in oil-rich regions. Israel is a check against aggressive Muslim nations (e.g. Iran).

            Given that Christianity is playing far too big a role in politics, it makes sense that Christians would more closely align with Jews than Muslims.

      “We will never forget the images emerging from Rafah tonight. Human beings, including babies, were burned alive and torn apart. This genocide must end, it must end now,” said one group.

        Yea, but you failed to answer the question.
        At which point did Joe call up the pilots and pass grid coords to drop the bombs?

        But blame where it belongs.

          Biden didn’t order this, but he had to know that giving money to Israel would cause this. If he didn’t, he’s a complete fool. We hope this will provoke Biden to declare war on Israel and order destruction of military targets belonging to the IDF, but it probably won’t, and if it doesn’t, well that’s hypocrisy.

            If only diplomacy was that straightforward…

            Israel doesn’t need the money in order to keep doing what they’re doing. USA needs a middle eastern ally more than Israel needs the USA.

            Ukraine, however, would collapse if it weren’t for the money USA is providing (allowing with many other countries).

            This bill that was signed to send money to Israel also provided money to Ukraine. You would not get one without the other.

              After years of not being successful with the hunter biden story trumpists are probably celebrating with how easy it is to turn people away from biden by just throwing shit about the Israel war at him to make it look as if he’s somehow responsible for it…
