That and Israel doesn't NEED our weapons to keep doing what they're doing, they never have.

Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran and does nothing to stop the genocide.

Uh... Seriously look up what political scientists have to say about this. Israel uses too much, well, everything compared to what they can produce themselves.

And how is that a bad thing? Israel wouldn't be able to do this shit if the US wasn't protecting it from its neighbors.

Israel is, depending on who's counting, between the 8th and 10th largest weapons dealer in the world

They don't need our help executing a people they have spent decades marginalizing.

Okay, so if they need it, don’t provide it, don’t be complacent in genocide.

The lengths people will go to defend the US for Israel is insane.

Oh, we should have stopped providing aid to Israel decades ago, but that won't stop the genocide.

That’s pretty much the best way to get them to stop, let them face repercussions. So you’ve already proven that point false.

Except what happens then is the radical pro-Israel lobby then attacks anyone and everyone involved in that decision, actively making things worse here.

See:

Then the right move would've been to change on the position just before voting began so AIPAC wouldn't have the time to respond with attack ads. It took AIPAC eight months and 25 million to unseat two anti-genocide representatives

radical pro-Israel lobby then attacks anyone and everyone involved in that decision, actively making things worse here.

and we should reward them for interfering in our elections instead of jailing them ? do you know what happened the last time world tried to appease genocidal right wing lunatics ?

So nobody should do anything to stop Israel attacking people because otherwise Israel will attack them?

That’s specious reasoning.

There's literally nothing anyone can do short of removing Netanyahu and Likud from power.

That guy is already beating his wife, if I stop giving him hammers to do it with, that other guy that's pissed off about it all might do something bad
