So, do we want the Biden administration to continue to work towards supporting Palestine, or do we want them to revert back to a hard defense of Israel and ramp up arms production?

Lemmy users are fucking braindead when it comes to building support for unified movements in America, and it shows time and time again.

This might be news for yall, but a nation of people does not change course overnight.

Yall do realize you are supposed to reward positive actions to encourage more of them right? If you punish people for doing the right thing the same way you punish them for doing wrong, you are just fucking up your own message.

I want the Biden administration to stop selling them weapons and going to bat for them at the UN.

please tell me what voting for a non-binding ceasefire at the un is going to do unless you're going to start physically using force against israel?

It tells the world quiet clearly that you don't side with a genocidal regime for one.

The current approach has all but destroyed any moral high ground the US, UK and other western countries had around human rights.

i don't like the israeli strategy but calling everything "genocide" does nothing to help the situation.

we have treaties for a reason and that still doesn't say anything about what voting for a non-binding ceasefire will do for the region.

I'm not calling everything genocide. I'm calling the genocide that Netanyahu is perpetrating right now in Gaza a genocide.

Pretending it's anything less tells me what you are.
