    So they’re sending the trillions in funding back? Cool.

    I hear there are some teachers who need a raise.

      If only this also meant that the US would stop sending funds. I’m sick of spending my tax dollars on genocide.

    Since when is calling for a cease fire such a sticking point.

    Fuk just stop killing people. Let them have their ports back, stop the blockade, give them access the travel between both parts of their land.

    Stop stealing land and building settlements… And especially stop pre selling the beach front land before the dead bodies are even cold

      We didn’t even call for it at the UN, we simply did not call against it.

      Fuck it, we ought to tell Bibi that his people have to come here to pick up their blank checks instead of wiring the money directly.

    As I understand it, it’s not even a real permanent ceasefire. It’s just for Ramadan, i.e. about two weeks. That being said if even such a middling resolution drives the US and Israel further apart maybe it’s more useful in practice than it is on paper.

      And it includes a provision demanding Hamas release the hostages. The resolution is pretty good for Israel in general. Netanyahu’s problem is that he doesn’t want to recognize the UN’s authority or the legitimacy of international law in general.

    They seem to continually misunderstand the relationship between our two countries. They weren’t coming here as a favor to us, they were coming to America to petition for something we would accept to maintain their arsenal of family-eliminator bombs and collateral-enhancing tank shells.

    But who am I kidding, Israel is daddy-America’s spoiled brat and we’ll always find a way to excuse their actions. But it would be nice if they at least recognized that they’re a fucking client state and carry out the appropriate motions.

      Israel is America’s spoiled, entitled child who wrecks the local McDonald’s and the parent threatens the workers with a gun for telling their child to stop.

    I’m pretty sure Biden is being coy here.

    A good chunk of democrats still support Israel, but not so much that they’ll count it against Biden if Bibi just keeps making enough of an ass of himself that it just happens to entrench backing Israel no matter what as a Republicans only issue.

    Especially with how most American jews do not and have not supported Israel since its inception, (something Israelis and American Zionists are still pissed about since it black marked the central thesis of Israel’s whole reason for existing)
