would be nice to do palestinian aid and recognize its not a forgone conclusion that it be annexed and if we for some reason do give aid lets at least limit weaponry we might give them and hey lets work to keep aid channels open to palestine. you know. all the stuff we were doing until 2025.
Literally what? This is all stuff Democrats (including AOC herself) were flamed for not doing until 2025.
nope they were flamed for not doing more. we had limits on weapons and getting aid to isreal was a fight even though it got through. there was aid to plestine. we friggen made a dock to get around israel blockading areas. peoples memories are either miniscule or they edit them as it goes by.
This is historical revisionism.
Literally one paused shipment. Big fucking deal.
The overwhelming majority regularly voting yes is not my idea of a fight.
There was aid during Trump's term too. In both cases it was Israel dictating how much aid got through.
A useless dock that was criticized for being useless the moment it was announcement and eventually was used by the IDF.
its not revisionist. the limits where on types and size of weapons. your reply shows it exactly. it was not good enough so lets just choose worse. before trump we were trying but now its just israel calling the shots. we friggin attacked iran. jeez just a bit after he took office the plans for the west bank as a vacation destination were thrown up. I just don't get folks that can't tell the difference between better and worse.
There were no limits other than a pause on one shipment of 2000 pound bombs. That is almost literally nothing.
Your thoughts and prayers don't matter to the Palestinians Israel was starving to death.
Israel was always calling the shots with regards to Palestine; Trump is just more blatant about it. He's also worse on Iran, but that's a completely different conversation.
That doesn't have fucking anything with what we're talking about. You made a claim about Democrats; you don't get to deflect by talking about Republicans.
its completely what we are talking about. perfect being the enemy of good. The use of pause is pretty disengenous. yes it was paused until 2025 when trump took office which is what stopped the pause. your whole middle section again shows you can't tell the difference between better and worse. I would never want you "working" to help me. this reminds me so much of obama care. that half a loaf has made things a bit better for me than the no loaf some people seem to prefer. don't get me wrong I want the whole loaf but refusing to let anyone get the half to make a moral stand is not helping them.
