Every canned cocktail I’ve ever had was awful, but some people like them.

This is just a pre-made screwdriver.

Israel is the only country whose aid doesn’t have to be spent on US goods. The US created Israel’s arms industry.

You know the ones that constantly complain that Biden should have personally airdropped over Gaza and personally saved the children?

Your words are right there

Not a single person expects Biden to personally drop into Gaza. Good job with that strawman though.

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.

there are plenty of innocent Israelis

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.

part of a pressure campaign to send Netanyahu packing

4% of Jewish Israelis feel the IDF has gone too far

This isn’t just Netanyahu or his administration, this is most non-arab Israelis. Every time you translate an Israeli twitter post or media, it’s like you found a lost page from Mein Kampf

And yet Biden continues to send the weapons and money.

It’s both malicious and incompetent. No matter how much foreign blood Biden promises spill, republicans will double it. By trying to appeal to “moderate” fascists, they’re just demotivating their base, while fascists will vote for the real thing over diet fascism.

I don’t know who you’re talking about that believes anything you’ve claimed, but the people who don’t want Biden to send Israel the weapons they’re using to carry out a genocide are still angry that Biden is sending Israel weapons, which they’re using to carry out a genocide.

If your understanding of geopolitics somehow has you justifying helping Israel blowing up kids in Palestine or Saudi Arabia blowing up school buses in Yemen or american occupiers cause famine in Syria, you’ve completely lost the plot.

Not blowing up children is more important than American hegemony in the middle east.

Huh, I wonder if murdering 20% of their population could inform their current hostility towards the US and its puppet states.

Nah, must just be that they’re bad evil authoritarians who don’t like freedom democracy.

Yes, it is compassionate to oppose a war. Even if you personally don’t feel one side is human, you must understand that both sides are going to suffer massive casualties right?

And even if you don’t consider either side human, you know we spend billions on keeping South Korea militarized right? We’re still paying for that war in rotting infrastructure and schools even if it’s not our blood being spilled.

Then again, if I had a nickle for every time I heard someone extol how much they care for the Ukrainian people also say that the war is a wonderful way to kill Russians without spilling a drop of American blood, I’d be able to afford a house. I suspect that you don’t care about either side’s people or your own beyond how their lives can be spent to defend western hegemony.

Sure is brave of you to call for escalations of war an ocean away.

We’ll be able to push the wolf to the left after the election!

How many players does it take to play Beethoven’s 36th symphony in 60 minutes?

Don’t give up skeleton!

Yeah the context is that many indigenous people depended on the buffalo for food.

It was basically the same as when Israel pours concrete down wells and burns olive groves that took centuries to get that productive. They knew for every buffalo they killed, an indian would starve.

That image is similar to the rooms full of luggage in Auschwitz in what it represents.

Condemns? No they give a shit what says in public, as long as they’re receiving the weapons and money they need to carry on.

In scale? Yes. In brutality? Go look up chimp attacks.

There’s a difference between a few humans throwing some rocks at something’s head and poking it with a sharp stick and what chimps do.

Sadly the people enabling Putin doesn’t care what either of us think. The people enabling Zelensky might. Opposing only the other side in a war is the same as supporting the war.

I’m not making moral judgements, if justice were served, both Putin and Zelensky and every other representative of capital would be devoured by the workers who choose between rent, medicine, and food. I’m looking for the closest avenue for ending the war that anyone who pretends to represent me can effect.

For me, an American, that means not sending weapons so they have to agree to peace.
