    You realize that the US is bound by several preexisting agreements with Israel right? And that those agreements can’t just be dropped due to the changing wind of public opinion?

    Honoring your defense and economic agreements is in no way “fascist”.

      An annoying side effect of the rise of Republican fascism has been some leftist critics labeling everything they don’t like as fascist, even when it makes absolutely no sense.

      Which agreement requires Biden to sell arms for genocide? Which one requires us to run interference at the UN?
