America was locked into that in the Obama era. Israel gets massive amounts of aid.
There is more than enough legal reason to justify stopping sales to Israel but the rules are not applied equally: https://www.npr.org/2024/03/26/1240857410/how-do-leahy-laws-apply-to-u-s-support-for-israel
So it seems like they choose not to and I'm not sure if there's a justification for that which isn't fucking atrocious
man some of this rhetoric really makes you think... "you are literally as bad as a nazi if you think that complete and total end of this long running conflict/war is probably unlikely to go well"
since when was there a problem with a two state solution? Currently the issue is that there really isn't a two state solution due to the strip repeatedly fucking itself in the ass.
Granted israel doesn't get a clean pass here either, with all the settler bullshit they're doing.
maybe? I would have to see some convincing evidence of this outside of just "trust me bro" regardless, this doesn't stop me from believing in a two state solution, because it turns out i have free will and can have my own opinions, so thats cool.
I would think if any US president hadn't supported it, there would've already been a war and this would no longer be a problem, but i guess your concept of support is probably closer to conspiracy so.
also edit: if you judge hitler by his actions and not his words, you'll miss the part where he mentions killing 6 million jews
