Stop sending military aid to Israel, and don’t pursue sanctions on the ICC. Two very simple things

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

What military aid can Biden stop sending that will stop the Genocide™? The ICC arrest warrant didn't stop the Russian genocide in Ukraine, why do you think they will stop Netanyahu?

What exactly are you in support of here? Be specific

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

So you have no specifics on the aid Biden could stop that would stop the Genocide™?

Until you do everyone should assume you have no idea what Biden could do to stop the Genocide™ but you're enthusiastically talking out of your ass spouting gibberish because someone on tiktok told you that Genociden Biden© was solely responsible for the actions of a sovereign nation that he isn't president of.

Just so there's no ambiguity I specifically support a peaceful transition to a two state solution. After that I support the United States aggressively investing in Palestinian infrastructure and security so that the people of Palestine will have the means to support and defend themselves without having to rely solely on the good will of the UN and neighboring Arab states and Iran.

As for a solution to the current war in Gaza, I support strong political pressure on Israel to remove Netanyahu from power without permanently damaging the Israel/United States relationship. It's an incredibly delicate balancing act that will largely be invisible to the public eye. If not done correctly it could backfire on the United States by showing we abandon allies, which will further weaken our standing in the world, and increase the power that Russia and China have in the region.

A likely outcome of not handling this situation correctly is for the United States to burn all of its influence with Israel and still not stop the war in Gaza. It's important to remember that Netanyahu just needs to hold out until the next election; if Trump gets elected then Bibi will have carte blanche to do what he wants in Gaza given Trumps strong track record of supporting the most extreme forms of Zionism.

You ask for specifics and yet cannot provide anything specific of your own. Classic

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol, I gave specifics. Way to make a stupid claim, cry about getting called out on your stupid claim, try to turn the tables and dodge the questions calling out your stupid claim, and then hit me with the old "I know you are but what am I", all while never actually providing any support for your stupid ass claim.

Isn’t it maddening after someone provides specifies and then moves the goal posts? Turnabout is fair play, amiright? lol

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

🤣🤣🤣🤣 isn't maddening when you say stupid shit, get called out on it, get the specifics you ask for but refuse to provide any yourself and still keep trying to dodge and deflect without actually saying anything of value

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I find trolls amusing. Anyways, here are the 2 things stated earlier…

Stop sending military aid to Israel, and don’t pursue sanctions on the ICC. Two very simple things

[–] bobburger@fedia.io 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Just stop providing military aid (I don't know what military aid we provide, or when, or where it comes from, or how it would actually impact the Genocide™) and don't pursue sanctions on the ICC (which isn't something I know existed until yesterday and I have absolutely no idea how an ICC arrest warrant might stop the Genocide™ because it never has before). Two very simple and not vague or ill defined things at all 🤡🤡🤡

[–] distantsounds@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago

Yep, those are the 2 things I listed.
