Nah, they’re clamoring for Biden to hurry up and stop shipment of arms to Israel and get the ceasefire some before Trump gets into office. Too little to late guys, Israel won’t care, won’t do shit now that they know trump won.

That and Israel doesn’t NEED our weapons to keep doing what they’re doing, they never have.

Cutting them off only makes them weaker should they be attacked by Iran and does nothing to stop the genocide.

Uh… Seriously look up what political scientists have to say about this. Israel uses too much, well, everything compared to what they can produce themselves.

And how is that a bad thing? Israel wouldn’t be able to do this shit if the US wasn’t protecting it from its neighbors.

Israel is, depending on who’s counting, between the 8th and 10th largest weapons dealer in the world

They don’t need our help executing a people they have spent decades marginalizing.

We’ve been clamoring for it since Biden first bypassed congress to directly send them weapons and money after October.

Israel has never cared so far and gotten away with everything, so nothing has changed there.

You just keep thinking that both sides are bad even when one party, despite its flaws, tried to push for peace and the other side publicly expressed genocide is the preferred solution.

Good luck on the upcoming year in affecting change!

The Democratic Party preferred to lose to a fascist over taking the election seriously and pushing for peace. Biden, who is a Christian Zionist, continues to send billions worth of weapons unconditionally, nothing about withholding military weapons to reign Israel in to a permanent ceasefire. Harris didn’t break from Biden on policy at all, ran on unwaivering support for Israel, ignored Palestinian victims and all the Americans that has directly affected, and campaigned instead on the most lethal Military in the world with Liz Cheney. It would’ve taken more policy changes than just on Israel to win the popular vote, but just that one policy change would’ve made them far more likely to win the swing states and electorial college
