They wouldn't need this pier if, you know, we stopped funding Israel to continue this genocide.
But Biden will literally never do that...
He's spent 50 years saying he would never hold them accountable for anything if it means even slowing aid down.
Hell, when Obama was prez and Biden was just the VP. biden publicly shit talked Obama when he threatened to cut aid to Israel due to their human rights abuses.
Biden made a big deal about how the only thing that works with Israel is giving them everything they want and holding them accountable would backfire.
Obama was smart enough to not listen, and Israel toned it down.
Joe learned absolutely nothing from that. Or worse, has always known it's bullshit and still does.
I really thought in 2020 I was done playing "is the president honestly this stupid or lying?"
But it looks like we'll keep playing till 2028 at least
He's always supported Israel. Forever.
Closing border points and instituting a blockade of food is fairly inexpensive, they could and probably would continue to do that without our bombs and shells.
Yeah, you hear that conspiracy theory crap a lot. "Shadowy string pulling" instead of getting into the nitty gritty details of the specific treaties Congress made back in the day that aren't so easy to wiggle out of.
Money lets you put pressure, but it does not give you mind control powers, or any kind of medieval fealty.
edit: Hell, medieval fealty wasn't even that reliable, as any perusal through European history will give lots of examples of a King's subjects fucking off.
