    Seems to me like the Biden administration is making some unspecified level of aid contingent on some unspecified changes in the way the Israel is conducting their operations.

    Is this evidence that Hamas is controlling the administration, or is it evidence that they’re trying to manage PR with voters while not rocking the boat too much regarding US foreign policy and our war machine industry? I think it’s the latter.

    Israel is a murderous terrorist regime. No other way to describe these genocidal maniacs.

    I think you are right, and I think the Biden administration is wrong for pandering instead of being on the right side of history, and standing with Israel.

    Pro genocidal neo Nazi. How does it feel that Germany is on trial for genocide for the second time in 100 years?




    I may have figured out why you’re so pro genocide right now. The above tweet makes sense. Second largest arms supplier to Israel. You definitely have investments in German arms companies and are making a killing off it.

    Correct, at least as it relates to Hamas.

    But giving the devil his due, people who believe it is their divine mission to eradicate everyone other than their tribe/sect do exist and will continue to do heinous **** in the service of that aim as long as such brainworms exists.

    The question is, what do you do about that? I think history has taught us that you can't win a war of ideas with bombs and bullets. More to the point, throwing the values of your civilization in the toilet and lighting a bunch of money on fire in response to terrorism is a pretty bad idea.

    I think the way you truly combat fundamentalist violence is with human prosperity and flourishing. That's not to say you shouldn't defend yourself from immediate threats, because of course you should. Depending on the level and type of threat, we have a military, police/intelligence apparatus, and court system designed for this entire purpose. But long term, this is how you win a war over values and ideals.

    Ben Shapiro is really entitled. The USA is not some vassal state for Israel. Indeed, the USA should make their aid to a wealthy country contingent on certain parameters.

    I am anti genocide, which is why I am anti-Hamas, who are the only ones who are pro-genocide.

    Dumbest comment on planet Earth. We should limit low IQ folks internet access.

    One group can actually commit a genocide and IS POSSIBLY committing a genocide. The other side (Hamas) I agree is probably genocidal but fundamentally incapable of doing any material damage. It's like a high school basketball team saying they can beat a NBA team. An Impossibility, so even mentioning it is a childish and a fantasy claim.

    Hamas is nothing more than an animal created by Israel. They are facing what they created. Instead of being humane they have decided to kill everyone in the region making them the same and possibly worse because they are the ones with ALL the power. A sign of cruelty, evil, and inhumane actions by those in power.

    People make dumb statements and pretend it's true by the likes they get. Everyone agrees social media is cancer and the folks who retweet garbage are readily the first ones who say it sucks.

    I'm back to letting Israel burn until they can nut up and depose Bibi like any other "enlightened Democratic" state. They can deal with Iran, FAFO about their doomsday Existential Crisis fears without our direct help. I rather give all those toys to Ukraine...

    We have our own big Baby to deal with come elections.
