Showing Original Post only (View all)It is time for the US to withhold aid to Israel. [View all]
Let me start by saying I firmly supported Israel after the brutal, unprovoked attack by Hamas. I saw the need to destroy Hamas as an effective organization, and I accepted the sad fact that there would be civilian causalities.
But that was then. Israel has the worse possible leader for this, and it is clear that Netanyahu is not after Hamas, but wants to make Gaza uninhabitable. I refuse to say it is genocide, because it is not. But it is an effort to destroy the territory.
It is time for the US to threaten to withhold aid to Israel if they don't change their campaign in Gaza.
A cease fire and allowing all aid would be a good start. I still place the blame with Hamas in this, but the respond has gone beyond what was justified.

Sorry, but Israel does not have an unfettered hand to do whatever they want, and they have overplayed their hand.

If they go that route, I'd rather a two country break. That way both sides don't have to deal with each other.

I already responded to that idea of yours in this thread. I told you it is genocide. The very definition.

I doubt if the tunnels have been destroyed enough to prevent a fairly rapid insurgence.

The Japanese did the same after Pearl Harbor. They wanted war, they got it.

Don't want a war, don't start one. Don't celebrate when your government slaughters 1200 people
