We just want the US to stop giving Israel money and weapons. How is that so fucking hard to understand?

We also want it to stop obsessively protecting it from the UN and international law.

The US is currently trying to lobby the ICC in Netanyahu's favour.

Me too. Shame is that doing that would empower Iran, which isn’t great. It’s all tough choices and I’m pretty tired of listening to idiots pretend they have all the answers.

Who cares about Iran

No one is saying Iran needs zero foils to counter and control them, you assuming dingdong.

We just want the US funded foil to not also be committing a genocide. The fact you conflate, "no genocide" with "eliminate Israel" shows that you are not capable of honestly engaging on this topic.
