Despite President Biden's recent calls for a 6-week ceasefire amid the war between Israel and Gaza, leading progressive Sen. Bernie Sanders tells "Face the Nation" that "the United States of America cannot be complicit in this mass slaughter of children." "That should be clear: No more money to Netanyahu's war machine to kill Palestinian children," Sanders said.
i think that’s bluster. in fact, i say “let them”. let them. i don’t want to be complicit in their genocide. let them beg putin.
Diplomacy and stability don’t run on embracing the unknown. There is a non-zero chance Russia will give Israel all the weapons it needs, there is Russian influence in Israel and Russian Jews hold significant sway in Israeli politics.
How much do you think Russia cares about genocide when they are actively committing one in Ukraine? Maybe think about how much Russia cared about how many civilians Assad has killed.
Bruh Israel is already heavily Russian, it has become over run since the iron curtain fell with former soviet bloc members who fled to get a western passport at the first opportunity. Unsurprisingly many of their children are incredible racists, because their bloodline literally saved them from Russian destitution. Like if they actually thought Russia was worth something they wouldn’t even be in Israel.
if we could regain our moral authority, i think we could stop a genocide.
