White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said they do "not know what he’s talking about," adding, "there was one particular shipment of munitions that was paused (but) no other pauses or holds in place.”
I think we have an obligation to provide Iron Dome munitions as long as there is threat of attack on Israel. Despite common opinion, there are plenty of innocent Israelis that are not behind Netanyahu or Zionism that deserve to live without being bombed, just like Palestinians.
That’s complicated. Would you have said we needed to continue supporting Apartheid South Africa’s military because there were innocent Boers?
When the Israeli national project is ended, then sure we’ll have a responsibility to ensure Palestine respects the rights of all people living in its territory.
Ask yourself. Were you an American citizen when when Trump enabled the sexual abuse of tens of thousands of immigrant children, or currently while Biden supports the Israeli genocide? Are you complicit? Do you deserve protection from bombings?
I mean, distanced emotionally? Should we be judged and judgement meted out differently than we and our dubious allies judged and delivered judgement? I prefer peace, but we are a warmongering nation. I don’t want it to happen, but where I’m from, the saying goes, “if you keep picking, you’ll eventually get what you’re picking for.”
No, but also kinda? It’s complicated. If someone had the power to help those immigrant children escape, it would be silly to pretend they must endure the continuing injustice for fear they might hurt an “innocent” escaping the concentration camp.

My point is, the actions of a government does not represent the entirety of a nation.
Netanyahu has a favorability of 32% in Israel.
Trump is currently polling at 42%.
Can’t help noticing that you make no mention of providing similar defensive capabilities to Palestine. Kind of undercuts your argument.
Would Israelis be so in favour of war if bombs were landing on them too?
It doesn’t matter if you look to the left or the right. There’s always a sickness that allows people to justify killing. It’s loathsome.
