    We could stop sending them weapons. Then we could stop sending them financial aid. Then we could sanction them. Its pretty entirely in US control, Israels existence always has been

      Yup. That’s exactly how national alliances are made. This ideal worked so fucking well after WWII, Korea, Vietname, Iraq 1 & 2, Afghanistan.

      Holy shit, we have an amazing strategist on our hands here! Let’s get this person to the negotiation table ASAP!!!

          Okay, right. So anyone selling ammunition to a country of any type, cool.

          Turns out that all countries do this, so you’re just mad at the world.

              Yeah, like any other Middle East conflict? Russia, China, Brazil, Peru, and most of the continental African countries all make and sell munitions to Israel.

              What exactly is your point?

                …all of that just reinforces my disdain for arming a genocidal country? Did you think I was gonna go “oh well if China and Russia are doing it must be good”

                But even whatever point you’re trying to make bringing them up wouldnt hold up anyway because compared to the US they do not provide a fraction of the financial and military support the US does.

                Actually, trying to look up the relevant figures, your claim is an outright lie, none of those countries are even on the list of arms supplies to Israel https://www.reuters.com/world/who-are-israels-main-weapons-suppliers-who-has-halted-exports-2024-05-09/
