President Joe Biden said Tuesday Israel’s prime minister needs to change his hardline government and support for the country’s military campaign is waning amid heavy bombardment of Gaza. … “This is the most conservative government in Israel’s history,” Biden said, adding that the Israeli government “doesn’t want a two-state solution.”

It’s mind-blowing how thoroughly Netanyahu has bungled this. They had damn near the entire world in full support after Hamas’ horrific attack on Israeli civilians, and they’ve managed to lose it.

      Explain to me - specifically which Americans I should want to be helping instead? And which non-Americans should I be specifically disregarding?

      Shipmate, as an active-duty submariner, you realize that the Israelis aren’t Americans, right? Sending money to the IDF doesn’t help your cousin on the ground. You of all people should also understand that the Ukraine front is an actual strategic conflict, and sending our retired equipment already marked for demolition to them instead is a strategic maneuver that’s entirely in accordance with all governing directives. Why don’t you ask your cousin about the actual boots-on-ground strategic picture instead of making assumptions.

      Your brother is a fucking moron for signing up to join an obviously imperialist force that uses him for profit.

      By now everyone should know that the US military does not do anything that is related to defense. I have no sympathy for recruits.
