The Monday call comes after Republicans in Washington and Israeli officials expressed outrage over Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer sharply criticizing Netanyahu’s handling of the war in Gaza and calling for Israel to hold new elections.
If only Israel had the smallest amount of respect for Biden, this might mean something.
And yeah, the president of America doesn’t need to be respected by foreign genocidal bigots, but since Biden won’t stop giving them my tax money, he could at least stop letting Bibi treat him like a little bitch in public.
Ideally we’d give all their scheduled aid to Palestine tho.
Pick times and ways of attacking a bunch of innocent people that will provoke a violent response from some slaughter-happy government that will drive your support and recruitment. You get lots of donations and support, you get to have your war you were thirsting for and you get to be a hero, and the rivers of blood that ensue don’t have to be your fault, in your own mind at least.
We should sanction the Israeli government for funding terrorism, and let them try to justify why money to Hamas is ok as long as they’re the ones doing it.

This is my favorite fucking idea
Like the whole Israeli cabinet and 80% of the US political spectrum erupts in absolute pandemonium because Hamas just got 15 billion dollars with no restrictions on how they want to spend it, beyond the obvious necessity of spending some on food and bedrock-level infrastructure and vague pronouncements about minimizing civilian casualties
And then Anthony Blinken can sort of shrug and say “Well we can always talk about a cease-fire, if you’re worried about things getting violent. How does that sound? They already said they’d be okay with that.”
Hamas is not a poor organization, they have many revenue sources including taxes, crime, direct payments from friendly Arab countries, and pilfered aid money. More money for Hamas isn’t going to be the difference maker that puts them on the same level as the military of Israel.

This is just a fantasy of yours, and quite a strange one tbh.
It is pure fantasy; it’ll never happen, and I agree with you that Hamas is a deeply corrupt terrorist organization which wouldn’t do good things with 15 billion dollars. They also, incidentally, get some funding from the Israeli government, because the Israeli government likes having a wild and violent adversary that will do bad things which will give them justification for the horrifying things they were planning on doing anyway to the Palestinians.
I don’t think it’s strange though. It is a natural reaction to seeing someone get the shit kicked out of them for years and years and the satisfaction of imagining them suddenly being on equal footing with their bully and the bully’s shock and alarm at being subjected to a fair fight. Is that strange? To me it’s not strange.

It is terrorist playbook 101
Pick times and ways of attacking a bunch of innocent people that will provoke a violent response from some slaughter-happy government that will drive your support and recruitment.

And if you’re a slaughter-happy government you gladly oblige them because it will keep your population scared and voting for you.
Bibi and Hamas have a long history together for this reason. They’re two sides of the same shit coin.
Oblige them and make sure they get funding
