The government would be to blame if they didn’t put controls on you using that money to buy weapons for shooting civilians.
We pour so much money into Israel that goes straight to murdering civilians in an ethnic cleansing. The US is culpable and the president needs to be held accountable.
Israel also imports weapons from other countries. According to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s arms transfers database, 68% of Israel’s weapons imports from 2013 to 2022 came from the U.S. Another 28% came from Germany. Imports are funded in part by $3.3 billion of military aid provided annually by the U.S., along with $500 million for missile defense cooperation.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, the U.S. has provided more than 5,000 MK-84 munitions, a type of 2,000-pound bomb. As of late December 2023, the U.S. had sent artillery shells, armored vehicles and basic combat tools to Israel, delivered in 230 cargo planes and 20 ships.
U.S. military aid to Israel also includes stockpiled weapons. For years, the Pentagon has stored weapons in Israel, presumably for use by the U.S. military. But the U.S. has allowed Israel to draw down some of these supplies during the Gaza conflict.
If the government keeps sending you beer, money marked “for buying beer only” and replacing any old beer you have with new, higher alcohol content beer, then yes, I’d say they are a little bit culpable for your drunkenness.
You can’t buy alcohol with welfare benefits because the government puts limits on it. They could do the same with the money going to Israel but they don’t because they want Israel to do what they’re doing.
Republicans weren’t gonna vote for him anyway, and with his current stance he’s hemorrhaging progressive (mainly young) voters. This is the demographic that won him 2020.
I love how POTUS is in charge of israel’s military 100%.
Didn’t even have to win an election or be Jewish they just listen to his orders and follow precisely as he instructs.
NetanyaWHO?
(/s)
The US finance Israel with billions of dollars
They have given Israel billions of dollars of military aid in just the last three months
Without the US involved, Israel would not be able to cause this level of destruction
The US has also consistently defended Israel in international court and in front of the UN while doing this
Biden is constantly giving Israel money and support, so it is on him
The US is not leaving this war alone, they are intrinsically psrt of it
Is Israel genociding Gazans by paper cuts from fiat currency or dumping tonnes of coins onto them?
If I waste welfare money to buy alcohol is it my fault for buying alcohol or the governments fault for supplying me a means to feed myself?
The government would be to blame if they didn’t put controls on you using that money to buy weapons for shooting civilians.

So why are the houthis not attacking DC? Seems like a waste of their energy to go after Israel if it all falls into the desk of POTUS don’t you agree?
They are attacking our ships where they can for that reason…
They do know Biden isn’t on the ships, right?

Biden pulls every trigger and loads every magazine by hand. Duh.
really comparing alcohol consumption with genocide ?
No, I didn’t compare the two.
You can’t buy alcohol with welfare benefits because the government puts limits on it. They could do the same with the money going to Israel but they don’t because they want Israel to do what they’re doing.
Literally yes. He just needs to threaten to cut off aid.
And then there’s a massive uproar from the republicans and conservative democrats.
Oh no, doing the right thing may alienate people who won’t vote for him anyway, better do a genocide!
Politics is a nasty game. It’s much nastier when it’s a democracy: The stink is aired out for everyone to see and smell.
Republicans weren’t gonna vote for him anyway, and with his current stance he’s hemorrhaging progressive (mainly young) voters. This is the demographic that won him 2020.
That’s why I said conservative democrats.
I think, I can’t see the original comment because lemmy sucks.
I get what you mean, but what I’m saying is that he’s not exactly holding onto voters at this rate.
Lmao sure.
Incredible argument. Can really see the thought you have put into this.
Lmao okay
