Yeah, we could cut off every possible kind of funding to Israel and they'd still have sufficient military resources to level Gaza a hundred times over

So, we should just keep supplying more?

I agree that we should take it further. Support, and demand, a cease fire now. There is a lot of inertia and this is a step in the right direction where a lot of other people are running in the wrong direction.

Personally I don't think we should've been supplying them in the first place for the simple fact that they're more than suitably equipped already

I just think that if the goal is a ceasefire, neither continuing nor halting supplies would really move the needle. Want us to stop supplying them? Fine by me.

Agreed, but I do feel it’s important to do both. And this is a way to push against all that inertia of Israel being …. Well, Israel
