    what i mean is:
    a: they have a considerable arms industry and make quite a lot.
    b: they’re quite wealthy and can and do buy weapons.
    therefore, it’s not so cut and dry that biden could just stop it….
    he sure shouldn’t help arm them, but it’s been going on for quite a while with and without our bombs…

      They can’t make $3 billion in F-35 fighter jets we’re selling them, and who else will sell to them? Russia? Unlikely, they’re too involved in Syria for that. China? Too involved with Iran. The EU? I could see Germany going for it, but sentiments are turning against Israel there and I don’t see that being viable long term.

      It’s cut and dry. Biden could stop selling them weapons and, more importantly, stop protecting them from their neighbors. Imagine if Ansar Allah could enforce the Red Sea blockade with impunity because the US told Israel “you’re on your own lol” and they couldn’t get anything imported as long as the blockade persisted.

      You have convinced yourself that nothing can be done and use that as an excuse to support Biden’s unlimited support for Israel. That’s just a cope. The truth is, this is the US’s fault.

              You’re the one that said the US is powerless to stop the genocide? And if J’Biden stopped supporting them they’d just go to some other country?

                not that the US is powerless, but that it’s not super simple and they can say “ok stop now” and they’ll just up and stop.
                not that… why are you hyphenating J’Biden?
                do you expect me to take you seriously?
                not that they’ll “just go to some other country”, but horribly, they will go to other countries as well as make their own weapons, use the ones they already have stockpiled, and as history has shown, when they are lower on bombs and guided munitions they will, and have recently as well, simply burn whole neighborhoods down instead.

                it’s not fucking hopeless… but asking them to stop won’t work, and stopping arms supply won’t work….
                so, either diplomacy or forcefully stopping them is required… at this point i think the U.N. should forcefully invade Israel.

                Biden should be impeached, and voting Trump in will definitely make that and everything else much worse.

                  You are leaving out the third and probably most important part, that Brandon (why don’t you mock him? he doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously!) should stop protecting Israel from its neighbors.

                  Without the US as a threat so you think Egypt would cooperate with Israel? Do you think Iran would be content to just watch and do nothing? Do you think Hezbollah would merely launch rockets and do nothing? The Red Sea would become unusable for Israel and they’d lose all access to trade through ports. Do you think they’d be able to use the Red Sea to ship in the weapons they try to buy from somewhere else (again, where else? India? )

                  Israel couldn’t keep up the genocide without US backing and you need to recognize this. We are complicit. This is Biden’s genocide.

                    i know of only one group of people that thinks that “brandon” is clever….

                    and i do not believe you are genuine

                    you vastly underestimate what Egypt would do if these countries attacked them….

                    but, it has happened before….

                    btw, the entire country is drafted into the military at age 18…. that’s a lot of fully trained soldiers….
                    they have advanced hacking capabilities, as well as jets and tanks… they can’t use most of that of Palestinians… but nobody is being held back by J’bRaNdOn
