    To object to this is to leave the citizens of Isreal defenseless.

    Israel legally can’t get any US aid or arms. Period. It’s not ambiguous and maybe if they’re left defenseless they’ll consider maybe treating the people they’re oppressing as… people.

      So, let’s not cower in the corner…are you voting to leave the Israeli citizens defenseless?

        Yes, exactly. Support for their defense is the same as support for their offense from a simple economic point of view. Your logic stops working when trying to wipe a small country’s worth of people out.

        Yes. They’re currently engaged in massive war crimes, including the use of starvation as a weapon as identified by the US State Department. They are absolutely ineligible for military aid.

        But they aren’t actually defenseless. They still have the most sophisticated military in the region.

            Yes, withholding weapons from people murdering civilians is directly analogous to murdering civilians yourself.

            Perfect logic. Unassailable.

              Defenseless people where just what those Hamas wanted on Oct 7th. It seems you want the same thing.

                FFS thinking that Israel is commuting Genocide and that you’d rather not fund that sn’t the same thing at all as condoning Hamas’s Oct attack. You are making the most ridiculous false equivalence

                  FFS it’s not false, it is a moral equivalence. Both of you want to terrorize innocent people

                    How do I want to terrorize innocent people? I think you should give up talking to people if you’re so incapable of listening

        There’s a BIG difference between defense system (iron dome) and offensive system (MOABs).
