White House “deeply concerned” about civilian casualties after the IDF said it had struck a command room that terror operatives set up at a Gaza City school where displaced Palestinian civilians were sheltering

    The real answer is an arms embargo, until Israel is no longer an apartheid state. One state, full rights for all.

      Arms embargo is part of it for sure. But more would need to be done. Sanctions, peace keepers, and embargos would be a good first step.

      So they can buy them from Russia and China instead, without any of the stipulations that the US requires? That’s a very quick way to make Palestine disappear off the planet, while also losing a powerful ally to hostile states.

        What in the ever living fuck are you talking about?

        Let Israel align themselves with those countries, it’ll be their political decline on the world stage. “Stipulations”

        Israel is only powerful because the united States government supplies them with arms and protection.

        One state solution.

          Believe it or not, this is still Israel restraining itself. A full arms embargo would guarantee that they wipe Palestine off the face of the earth. This is not an opinion, it is an objective geopolitical fact.

          Edit: This would also likely lead to Israel selling weapons to Russia to use against Ukraine. Their domestic weapons industry is massive.

            I don’t believe it. Israel is a fascist state because of the Likud, they will stop this genocide if the US applies ANY political pressure. Destroying the far right in the Knesset will lead to a more egalitarian Israel.

              What in the last 75 years makes you think that?

              Are you completely unaware of the political pressure that has already been applied? Or how it worked the last dozen times that Israel and Palestine have gone to war? Do you think that weapons are the only thing that Israel needs from the US?

              Destroying the far right in the Knesset will lead to a more egalitarian Israel.

              This part is dead on, but again, the US has no control there.

                As much as I hate the guy, Reagan did it. I gotta go wash my hand after typing this.

                He tempered Israel the first time, the current or future administrations can do the same.

            How? Where are they going to get all these weapons? Russia doesn’t have enough to give them. They’re not gonna buy from Iran. Maybe china but china most likely will not want to back Israel. And if the US and it’s allies say they’re done with this Israel isn’t going to attack anyone because the US would just sit back and let Hezbollah and Iran do what they want

        A powerful ally? Really? One we need to prop up with 3 billion in aid every year?
