He already restricted visas for extremist settlers in the west bank. Making all further aid dependent on curbing the fuckery in this area is probably the way to go. It's pretty unlikely that the US can do more than delay strikes by Israel when it comes to further actions in Gaza, they don't have nearly as much control over them as everyone makes it seem.

I'll tell that to that mother in Rafah who's trying to scrape what's left of her kid into a bucket, having gone there because Israel told her it was the safe place to evacuate to after she followed Israeli orders to evacuate to Khan Younis and was bombed there as well..

@100_percent_a_bot @TheAlbatross

No, but the US can sure as hell stop contributing to it. Then, they can go further and stop protecting them at the UN.

Why would they do that? The UN is like 50 Muslim countries, pretty much all of them theocracratic dictatorships. They usually vote as a block against Israel which is pretty bs considering there is one jewish state with one voice.

@100_percent_a_bot Israel is committing genocide, we don't give a flying fuck about their opinion

Assad killed like two million people in his own country, many of them with fkin nerve gas. Where are the people calling this a genocide? Where's the condemnation by the Arab league? They don't give a shit and they wouldn't say a word if it was Egypt who was taking out hamas in Gaza right now.

Comparing Netanyahu to Assad is very apt, I agree

Guy who gasses hundreds of thousands of his own people and bombs them with barrel bombs from helicopters = guy who happens to contribute to the death of 28 k people (at worst) because terrorists choose to hide behind their own women and children. Smartest lemming

I agree that dropping dumb bombs on populated areas is wrong

It isn't if they do the proper strike assessment. If killing civilians was their goal they're doing a very shitty job at it considering they dropped over 20k bombs on Gaza.

@100_percent_a_bot That's horrible!!! How many billions did America give him to do that?

... Awkward

About 12 billion from what I can find

@100_percent_a_bot We gave Israel 12 billion to massacre Palestinians you mean

No you guys spent like 12 billion on "humanitarian aid" for the Assad regime

@100_percent_a_bot Oh, so we didn't send the missiles and bombs?

Like you and the US are sending to Israel for their "defense" against 6 years olds

Why are you this unhinged lmao

Just let them take out hamas so this shit show called Gaza can move towards becoming a semi functional state that doesn't shoot rockets on Isreal all day every day

@100_percent_a_bot btw, most people shoot at their foreign occupier, it's considered "self-defense"

How is arbitrarily shooting rockets in Israels general direction and occasionally hitting your own hospitals self defense? And how is this helping anyone?

Over the past centuries they fought their fight, lost over and over again and are now in a dead end. Now hamas has to be thrown out so the Palestinians vote someone in who can actually be negotiated with.

@100_percent_a_bot Given the 30,000 innocent dead people it's ridiculous to suggest that this is solely about Hamas

Why do you support the genocide of the Palestinian people? That's vile

They do though. As well as essentially paying them to do it, they sit on the UN Security Council and veto everything raised against this genocide.
