I understand that we want local action to urge changes. But honestly, if we stopped giving them weapons, I’m fairly sure another far eviler world superpower would snatch up the chance for a new ally.
Israel had its September 11 moments, and being a more vulnerable nation, turned it into an outlet of rage. More can be done by convincing Israelis this approach harms more than helps them, even creating new terrorists, rather than just washing America’s hands of it while the killing continues.
I also wish more culpability was on them.
