You know what would urge them? Stop supplying the bombs.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Saw some idiot on Al Jazeera say “stopping weapons transfers really won’t do anything, as the US has given them enough to last years and years.” (they also have domestic production)

Like, he’s right but holy fucking shit, dude.

Big "Putting murderers in prison doesn't stop murders from happening, so there's no point" energy.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Even if they have reserve weapons, they are still reliant of a steady flow of US Military Weapons. If that ends, they are in major trouble. Especially with the Internal unrest in Israel and their reputation on the international stage.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Absolutely. Of all places to see rhetoric like that, Al Jazeera? Granted, it was just some US Defense dog they were interviewing about the current escalation.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Netanyahu even approved the bombing of Lebanon's Capital, using US built Bombs and US built Planes, while on US Soil, with the approval of another 8.7 Billion Dollars of Military Weapons to Israel.

[–] [email protected] 67 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Here, take these bombs.

WHOA WTF MAN, I DIDN'T SAY USE THEM!!

Also here, have some more bombs.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Those are for defense only! It says so right on the box! \s

Kind of has a Willy Wonka "no, don't, stop" vibe

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Willy Wonka smiled as Harold Hezbollah came from behind the curtain.

"You! You started all this!" shouted Charlie.

"Calm down, Charlie," said Wonka. "He's working for me."

"Yes," said Hezbollah. "If we kill a few innocent people, the war goes on forever, and we get more and more money."

Wonka held Charlie by the shoulders. "Young man," he said, "this fantastical arms factory will be yours as long as you promise to blame everyone else but yourself, and you keep trying to invent more ways to kill innocent people."

Charlie thought about it for a moment. He did love killing innocent people. Frankly, when he blew up that hospital in Gaza it made him happy for as much as a whole minute, a whole minute of pleasure lighting up the dark cavern of his hateful heart.

[text omitted]

"Yes!" Wonka screamed, as Charlie plunged the dagger into the defenceless Oompa Loompah's chest [text omitted]

THE END

Joe Biden is a disgrace. Empty words from an asshole that is supplying the bombs

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

Supporting genocide will be Biden’s legacy

[–] [email protected] 8 points 6 months ago (5 children)

Biden isn't running for president. Between Trump and Harris who do you think will result in the most harm?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 6 months ago (1 children)

They didn’t mention Harris, Trump, or the election.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

That’s how sycophantic and unhinged they’re getting. They’re becoming schizophrenic, imagining tankies everywhere 😳

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago

No criticism allowed or you're a tankie. You must append 'im voting harris' to every negative thing you say no matter how true or the idiots will swarm you.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

What’s your point?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (2 children)

I think Harris will be responsible for another 40,000 innocent children being slaughtered, but who knows if trump is elected.

So between Biden and Harris it will be 80,000 or more innocents slaughtered.

Again, I don’t know about Trump.

(These numbers are very low estimates. The actual number of innocents slaughtered will most likely be up to ten times this amount. This is just the count of the bodies and parts and pieces of bodies that we can actually account for.)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Trump makes the news multiple times saying he'll back Isreal tenfold what Biden has been doing.

"I don't know about Trump.".

Gtfo

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (13 children)

Trump is a buffoon who doesn’t have any actual policy.

Biden and Harris have actual policy and they whole heartedly endorse the genocide.

Trump is a fucking idiot.

Biden and Harris intellectually support genocide.

Trump supports only himself.

Again, ~~I don't know~~ I am pretending not to know about Trump.

This is so thinly veiled, it's just sad.

Between Trump and Harris who do you think will result in the most harm?

If humanity keeps having the choice of big harm or small harm, and tends towards the small harm, living beings will keep being harmed, on purpose and by conscious choice.

This is why I don't feel emotionally connected to being human. Humans are machines for making their human world worse, and sadly they bring along the other living beings they share the planet with as they do it.

thank goodness at this point these are two separate conversations

[–] [email protected] 39 points 6 months ago

Urges de-escalation and then gives them literally $8,000,000,000 to continue the genocide.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 6 months ago (3 children)

It's insane that a country whose economy is 1/8th that of California alone and whose population is 35x smaller has the US by the balls in this way.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago (2 children)

For some context, California has the fourth or fifth largest economy in the world when compared to nations.

So seems a bit misleading to compare it to that particular state. Unless you were doing it for effect

Any country would if they had the US Military Industrial complex backing them up.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Between Israel militarily, Russia politically, and China economically, it's a wonder we are still even asked to vote.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm beginning to think Biden has a humiliation kink.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Or an Israel fetish, which may have been evident his whole career. No idea why. AIPAC donations? I'm sure someone has analyzed it, I'm just too lazy to look it up

Yes. John Hagee has been a notorious televangelist charlatan for decades and now he has a PAC that targets both wealthy Christians and Jews. Along with AIPAC, CUFI raises enough money to buy genocides.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

They're even bigger than AIPAC too.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Well then stop paying for it homeslice

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

He literally is beholden to the defense contractors. Seems like all they care about is selling bombs, so we're stuck. Israel is our 51st state.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

Shit, I'm glad I'm not literally beholden to my own contractor. "You need to build a second floor" "But I don't want a second floor. Can we just go ahead with the bathroom?" "NO! AND YOU'RE GETTING AN ELEVATOR."

"Anyways here's another $2bil"

[–] [email protected] 11 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If only he had some way of reducing the amount of bombing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but what if someone also set a precedent that if you're the victim of an admittedly awful terror attack, you can spend the next 20 years killing anyone you want.

And if Israel DOESNT then they'll get ONE LESS BULLET! THAT will Teach Them to Embarrass Biden while MURDERING Children!

Bro taking a break from dementia

"Quit it you guys, I'm super cereal this time, you've got to cut it out."

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Has he tried running three circles then getting on his knees and barking? Israel promises he can have him a bonus ice cream if he does that.
