      He already restricted visas for extremist settlers in the west bank. Making all further aid dependent on curbing the fuckery in this area is probably the way to go. It’s pretty unlikely that the US can do more than delay strikes by Israel when it comes to further actions in Gaza, they don’t have nearly as much control over them as everyone makes it seem.

    There seems to be this thing where the mainstream media tries to appease anti-murder voters by insisting that Joe “I Am A Zionist” Biden is really trying hard to find a solution to this and he’ll get there eventually, but in the mean time his hands are tied and he has to keep picking up the tab for Israel. But like, really guys, any minute now he’s gonna stop because secretly he agrees with you that this is wrong. He just can’t stop now. Like, he could. He could just stop sending them money. But he can’t. But he will soon. But not now. Because he can’t.

      Doesn’t congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.

      A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.

        The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.

        Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.

        Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is no form of Zionism which is not genocidal.

        Zionism needs a Nakba and an Apartheid state, otherwise it wouldn’t be Zionism. So no, being Zionist means in one way or another supporting genocide.
