America must stop selling weapons to Israel

[Slade3200]

Try to clarify your question

It was pretty clear. What was confusing to you?

 

[Slade3200]

Why?

Why what?

 

[froggy]

Why what?

Why should we not support Israel

 

[Flash]

ok Your son is not particularly articulate. My son was
also in a military tour of the Middle east----His observation (I speak as a fond mother) was a bit more
insightful. Of the EMIRATI he noted that just about ALL WORK was being done by INDIAN FOREIGN WORKERS---
He said "Ma, if every Indian would just sit down on the job----like GANDHI advised----the arabs would starve to death"

I was born in 1947. Do you know how many people have been killed in stupid wars since I was born? Millions. Koreans, Vietnamese, Cambodians, Laotians, Chinese, Hungarians, Bosnians, Argentinians, Somalians, Ukrainians, just about every African country and all those shitheads in the Middle East on all sides. Hell, even the Greeks and Turks got into it.

Meanwhile our country is going to hell.

Time to mind our own business and stop handing out welfare to all these filthy ass foreign countries, including the Israelis.

Hamas, as you know, won the Palestinian election in 2007. Elections have consequences.

Na... They won the civil war in the 2007...

They won the election in 2006 by 44% just ahead on Fatah...

After the war Hamas took Gaza and Fatah took West Bank..

Why should we not support Israel

I never said you shouldn’t support Israel.

 

[Hector12]

Are Japan and Germany constantly stirring the pot for more war?

Unlike Israel they are not constantly being threatened with annihilation.

 

[westwall]

How so? I’m not sure leading the innocent murder of human beings.

Sure you are.

 

[westwall]

True Hamas deserves the wrath. But not innocent civilians living in Palestine.

They are in the south away from the fighting.

If not, they are a legit target.

Some people ask well what occurred before October 7 in the Holy land …take a look at this video…. For years bad people from Israel have been making the lives of Palestinian women and children a living hell. None of us in America would live like that we would stand up for ourselves …. We are a strong country. The strong in America stand up for those like women and children.


Imagine for a moment if we Americans had to live like Palestinians do. And so for that reason, we must stop selling weapons to Israel. We have got to stop giving billions of dollars to Israel. It is anti-American to do so.





May Jesus protect this Palestinian child. Jesus loves her. And may he protect her and all of the children of Gaza

May the angel Michael protect the Palestinian women and children from the beasts that are bombing them every day.

The United States and Israel have a strong and multifaceted relationship, including in the area of arms trading. Here are some key points about arms trading between America and Israel:

1. Historical Relationship: The United States was the first country to recognize Israel as a state in 1948 and has maintained a close partnership ever since. The bond between the two countries is often described as unbreakable.

2. Shared Commitments: The United States and Israel share a commitment to democracy, economic prosperity, and regional security. This shared commitment has strengthened their partnership over the years.

3. Economic Ties: The economic and commercial relationship between the United States and Israel is robust. Bilateral trade between the two countries amounts to nearly $50 billion in goods and services annually.

4. Arms Trade: The United States has been a significant supplier of arms to Israel. The trade in arms and ammunition between the U.S. and Israel has seen an increase in recent years.

5. Strategic Cooperation: The United States and Israel engage in strategic cooperation in various areas, including defense and security. This cooperation involves joint military exercises, intelligence sharing, and technological collaboration.

While the United States is a major supplier of arms to Israel, the specifics of arms trading between the two countries may involve classified information and are not publicly disclosed in detail.

So, it is highly unlikely Uncle Sam will stop selling arms to Israel. Trading and national intelligence strategies between the two are always top priority. Yes, top secret things, quite often.

The Palestinians VOTED for Hamas in 2007.

They voted for delegates to the Palestinian Parliament NOT for them to control Gaza. Hamas took control by force a year later.

We need you folks to stop telling that lie

I blame the corrupt lying RW scumbag Netanyahu for screwing up the defense of his people totally and now making up for it with this mess....

 

[Lesh]

When was the last time the Israelis attacked innocent Hamas' people and killed over a thousand in a matter of hours?

Stop conflating Hamas with the people of Gaza

 

[HeyNorm]

I disagree. As soon as you cross the line to careless carpet bomb massive amounts of innocent civilians you’ve crossed a line

Then why did Hamas start it when they knew what the response would be?

Answer: Hamas wants massive Palestinian casualties

well----IMVO--(in my vaunted opinion) It is IRAN that wants massive Palestinian casualties. When talking IRAN AND ARABS---never forget----IRANIANS HATE ARABS --plus Iranians of the islamic ELITE class-----are very ambitious IMPERIALISTICALLY. Put the factors together and ----Iranian elite islamics (shiites) have no problem sacrificing the lives of any number of arab SUNNIS for their own purposes <<<<it's what is happening now.

My line is drawn and being responsible for careless bombing innocent people. If the Emmy is hiding in population centers then go after them strategically and directly.

But if anybody ever pulls a trigger knowing the result is going to kill innocent people then that is murder

Explain how you go after someone "strategically and directly" when they hide behind women and children after launching thousands of rockets into civilian areas of Israel? How do respond to animals who stockpile munitions in hospitals and use ambulances to get fighters from one place to another? Hamas doesn't abide by the Geneva Convention but you expect Israel to? Would you do so if your children had been beheaded or your wife or daughter were raped and then murdered? Where is your "line" on that, Slade?

 

[Oldestyle]

You think they have much choice?

They elected Hamas to run Gaza, Lesh. That was a choice.

Natan Sachs: Hamas Is Not the People of Gaza; Hamas Brings This War Upon Them | Brookings

“The only option is a peace process, a genuine peace process that tries to reach a two-state solution, despite all the difficulties that we have seen,” said Brookings Fellow Natan Sachs in a discussion about the ongoing crisis between Israel and Gaza on PBS’ NewsHour last night.

We’ve been through that .

It’s a lie

Hamas took control of Gaza BY FORCE

Stop telling that lie

 

[my2¢]

America's role in the world should be an advocate for peace, not an arms supplier. And until our government solves this country's problems, there is absolutely no reason to export the idiocy of our leaders.
