Stop aiding Israel’s genocide doesn’t seem too difficult, but I’m not a Zionist.
Stop supplying the weapons for Genocide?
[Biden] largely sidestepped protesters’ demands, which have included ending U.S. support for Israeli military operations. Asked after his remarks whether the demonstrations would prompt him to consider changing course, Biden responded with a simple “no.”
Four colleges simply met with their protestors, came to an agreement to not invest in companies supporting the war, and publicly call for peaceful resolution.
Why is it so damn hard for all the other ones?
came to an agreement to not invest in companies supporting the war
No, they came to an agreement to listen to a proposal to maybe not invest in those companies.
Man facing pressure from swarm of angry hornets can see no possible way to soothe the increasingly enraged colony as he continues to hit nest with stick
He’s got a super easy solution:
“Sorry Israel, but you fucked up royally! We’re suspending all aid; recognizing the state of Palestine as an independent nation, and will begin the process of rebuilding Gaza and reappropriating all of your illegal settlements on their land.”
Simple!
“Okay. We’re joining BRICS. Mr. Putin loves genocide, and he’s really going to love all this American tech we can show him.”
Simple indeed.
They’re going to join a coalition that includes Iran?
Tomorrow? Of course not. Inside the decade? Absolutely. Saudi-Israel relations are thawing as we speak, and that hostility basically dates since the foundation of the modern Israeli state. If Israel and Iran suddenly find themselves on the same side of geopolitics (i.e., if both of them are American enemies because apparently a lot of Lemmings think we should break diplomatic relations with Israel altogether, meaning that Israel is on the side of China, Russia, etc.), then anything is possible.
What would Bibi’s alternative be? Go it alone?
Israel just attacked Iran, who then responded by shooting a bunch of rockets at them literally just days ago. I also don’t think Iran is going to back Israel while they’re slaughtering a bunch of Palestinians. Furthermore Bibi isn’t going to be around forever and it remains to be seen if the rest of the Israeli leadership follows in his footsteps once he’s gone.
You’re right. Forging any kind of working relationship between Israel and Iran would be extremely challenging. I guess maybe Israel and the US should try to find a path forward as allies.
Supporting genocide or not supporting genocide. Gee, what a tough choice.
Wow CNN. Tone deaf much?
CNN is DNC propaganda just like Fox news is RNC propaganda.
No it isn’t.
Presenting independently verifiable facts in a way that bolsters your perspective is not the same as making up stories and using entirely false data to incite your listeners.
I bet fox news watchers say the exact same thing.
Not the ones I’ve spoken to.
Conservatives won’t usually meet a challenging topic head on, they try to avoid and misdirect from rather than address an issue.
It boils down to a fundamental difference in perspective and ultimately behavior.
When conservatives are presented with information, even completely made up stories, that agree with their preconceived notions, they accept the story regardless of the logic or substance of the story. Once information that disagrees with their preconceived notions arises, they reject the story regardless of the logic or substance because it isn’t something they’ve learned before.
When liberals are presented with information, they accept or reject the story based on the available substantiated information and how it fits into what they have learned so far.
This is the process behind what fundamentally makes a “conservative” and a “liberal”.
Conservatives are inherently afraid of challenges to their worldview and as a result, resist change simply for the sake of protecting themselves as long as possible.
Liberals are also inherently afraid of challenges to their worldview, but persist in discovering the truth and apply what they’ve learned to their behavior because of the benefits that context, understanding and new knowledge might bring about.
Jesus dude… do you hear yourself?
Figuratively?
US politicians are bought by the israeli lobby. We need to crack down on corruption in the most extreme way.
Isn’t it obvious, Joe?
“While I condemn Hamas, and supported Israel’s right to defend itself in the aftermath of the attacks, the use of force in reprisal has become excessive - beyond what is justified or acceptable. So effective immediately, I’m halting all arms shipments to Israel, and calling on President Netanyahu to withdraw IDF troops from Gaza and the West Bank.”
Problem solved.
He honestly thinks AIPAC is going to win him his election and not his pissed off voterbase lol.
They’re cracking down harder on these protesters than the January 6th insurrectionists lol.
In all fairness, they don’t have the president’s encouragement.
Trump was in charge on J6. The failure to crack down then, is in part due to Trump intentionally not cracking down. I would compare this to the heavy handed crackdown on the DC Black Lives Matter protesters. You know, the one where he heals a Bible upside down. That was a violent crackdown on mostly peaceful protestors.
Fair points.
Side note just in case it saves you from a gotcha in arguing with a Maga nutjob, but Trump didn’t hold the Bible upside down that day, per NYT, Politifact, and other fact checkers. He’s still a useless piece of shit.
