    TIL repeatedly calling for an Israeli cease fire = “accepting genocide”.

      “Calling for a cease fire” while the US vetoed like 4 cease fire resolutions in the UN, and funding the genocidal state with Israel with money and weapons. lmao

        The US actions in the United Nations have fuck all to do with the Vice President.

          They do when the vice president explicitly stated she agrees with and is intending to continue Biden’s foreign policy, especially in regards to Israel.

            The VP has no involvement with the UN. That might change when she’s President, but right now she has no power there. At all. None.

      The rhetoric coming out of the White House, when it has been focused on peace or restraint, rather than continuous war, has been undercut at every turn by its actions. The constant supply of weapons — $17.9 billion of bullets, bombs, shells, and other military aid in the past year — has allowed Israel to keep waging its war on Gaza, and in recent weeks, expand that war to Lebanon and threaten to escalate its conflict with Iran. Despite documentation of U.S. weapons being used in probable war crimes, and credible allegations that Israel is committing genocide in its war on Gaza, the bombs have continued to flow.

      We can track the rhetoric and actions of the Biden Administration month by month. The US has been supplying the weapons used for Israel’s genocide unconditionally for a year. Against international law, against domestic law, against the will of the majority of the population, and all with US taxpayer money. This is pro-genocide foreign policy.

        Used for the genocide != why we supplied them. That’s the key difference the folks screaming “GEnOcIdE!” can’t grasp.

        Israel has a right to defend itself, same as any other country. Where they go off the rails is using our support offensively and not defensively, but that doesn’t mean we’re going to stop supporting them.

          That’s the key difference between unconditional military aid and conditional military aid. The weapons are being used for genocide, and we have continually sent those weapons unconditionally for over a year.

            It doesn’t matter if it’s conditional or not, the Genocide will continue as it’s not dependent on our aid. They started it in Gaza before our aid even got there.

              It absolutely does. We are the main provider of weapons. It would be a major pressure point for them to stop, as well as influence other western nations to do the same. It also matters according to US Law (Leahy Law) and International Humanitarian Law.

              They started it in Gaza before our aid even got there.

              We’ve been the main provider of military aid for far longer than a year.

                We’re the main supplier, but they don’t need them for the genocide.

                Snipers are shooting little kids in the head, bullets are dirt cheap.

                  Ok? They also use far more than just bullets to kill Palestinian children. I don’t understand how this is an argument against implementing Conditional Military Aid. Nor against continuing to violate US and International Humanitarian Law.

                  The only argument I see from that is to not only end supply of military weapons, but also intervene to stop the genocide, which I would agree with.
