    Genocide is bad. Both Hamas and the Israeli government are guilty. But the Israeli people and the Palestinian people are not their governments. We can’t abandon either of them and keep the moral high ground. So how do we accomplish all of those goals and get their governments to accept it.

    You can’t force your black and white perspective on this no matter how satisfying you might find it.

      So we (the us) are obligated provide military aid to genocidal maniacs?

      I think you need to get your moral compass checked. There is exactly zero justification for continuing military aid to Israel… and biden’s “tough” language has no teeth and we all know it.

      Remember… the reason we’ve given Israel so much aid in the past is precisely to give Biden teeth- but now that we’re here he’s a coward. (Or actively hoping for AIPAC money.)

        So you know exactly what details give you the moral probity to make these confident statements? I’m glad we have authorities like you to give us moral clarity. I had no idea you were in possession of state level secrets.

          Morality isn’t a state secret.

          There is no justification I’m prepared to accept from my elected leaders for supporting genocide.

          Palestine doesn’t have WMD’s any more than Iraq does.
