To be fair, i don’t think Israel is going to do a cease fire even if we yeet all the aid and support we promised them. Netty has been wanting this fight for… ages.
Not too sure on that, US has many ways to force cease fires as good as starting coups.
I think if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, it would be done.
if we had a president and congress that wanted it done, Israel wouldn’t have felt comfortable doing it in the first place, really. I’m just saying at this point, I don’t think there’s a lot we can do. and as for starting a coup… that has never worked out well for the US.
Au contraire, I saw bananas on sale the other day for just 59 cents.
Considering how well those coups worked out, I’d really like for that sad chapter of US history to stay history, as much as I despise Bibi’s reactionary government.
Well, IMO the coups did what was required, same in latin america.
It stopped the political party that was going to rule and chaos would ensue.
Due to party plans of interfering with US corporations and allies.
They did meet short term goals but the long term blowback is indicative that it’s not worth it from a cold strategic perspective even when not factoring in the ideological hypocrisy
Oh, okay.
I think I understand a bit of what you are saying.
Thanks!
Someone remind me when the next election is for Israel.
Well, if we yeet all the aid we send them, at least we won’t be facilitating a genocide in as many ways.
That’s a start and a step worth taking.
Keep in mind, part of the reason we’ve given all this aid to Israel, historically, is precisely for that leverage it gives us.
People are rolling in their graves that we’re not using it.
Let’s stop all aid to Israel and go from there.

Ok but I’d really like to see our government try to make demands or ultimatums
Agreed.
Just because a thing is hard doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be done. I’m just a realist. They won’t stop until the hardliners on both sides are gone.

But BiBi promised I could have ice cream and stay up late, he cant say no now 😿
Stopping the aid might not stop him but heavy sanctions definitely would.
And even if he didn’t want the fight, a ceasefire now would destroy his coalition, being down the government , remove him from power, and probably end up with him personally in prison from the outstanding corruption allegations
