    Are you just dense? The idea isn’t “no funding for Israel” the idea is “no funding for Israel until they start following international law and stop indiscriminately killing.”

    Hamas is awful and should be destroyed but two wrongs don’t make a right and Israel is going much too far. Israel isn’t attacking Hamas at this point. They are doing to the Gazans what Hamas did to Israel, but a hundred fold worse. They are acting like either a terrorist organization or a genocidal regime.

    I’m all for Israel defending itself. I am mostly okay with funding Israel to defend itself and stand up for itself. I am absolutely not for funding genocide and wars of retribution. At this point Israel needs to be brought to heel and, when safe, needs to be held accountable for its crimes and it’s long term policies of apartheid.

      Where did I say I was against Israel following international law and stopping the indiscriminate killing?

      Hint: I didn’t.

      Do you want to retry having a good faith discussion with me?

        Where did I accuse you of being in favor of indiscriminate killing?

        Hint: I didn’t.

        Do you want to try engaging with my argument that we shouldn’t continue funding for Israel until they stop the genocide and follow international law?

          I am sorry but you don’t get to misrepresent me and then demand I respond to your comments based off those misrepresentations.

          I am blocking this account of yours for bad faith, but I fully welcome you to try again with one of your alts.

            I’m pre-emptively blocking you since you have been arguing for genocide all over this thread, and then strawmanning anyone that calls you on it.

            You’re in bad need of some actual life experience. I’ve yet to see you have a sane take on anything.

              You can’t point to one single pro genocide comment I have made, and you know it.

              You are censoring anti-Hamas people. Let’s not lie and sugarcoat.
