This whole discourse reminds me of some pro-Bush Jr. Family members who were complaining during those elections that the fiscal plan they liked (which caused the crash in 2008, but whatever) had been tied to trying to appease the single issue voters who cared about limiting abortion and LGBTQIA+ rights. This all or noting stance about Gaza feels just as singularly focused as those wingnuts.

So 40 000 innocent Gazans will be killed for the greater good.

Well, this is an American election? There's only so much one president can do about the actions of another sovereign nation. In fact, a lot of progressives wish the US would do less

Stop. Selling. Them. Weapons.

And what happens when Egypt starts thinking Israel looks weak? Let them use Gaza as a reason to attack? I'm very against what Israel is doing, but this is very reductive. It's foolish to think that peace in the middle east is not a nuanced subject

And what happens when Egypt starts thinking Israel looks weak? Let them use Gaza as a reason to attack?

So we should just keep selling them weapons that we know they will use to commit genocide on the off chance that Egypt would invade a nuclear-armed nation?

I’m very against what Israel is doing

They're not doing it quickly or brutally enough for you?

Oh dang u right, it ain't nuanced, my b

If you want to pretend that there's nuance to genocide, it's because you want to drag it out for as long as possible.

Excuse me if I don't trust the infallibility of the foreign policy platform of a person who falls back to ad hominem attacks after reading 3 sentences, and failing to grasp their meaning

You don't trust the foreign policy of anyone who isn't either murdering Palestinians or selling them the weapons to do so.
