    I wish a reporter would have the balls to call him out on his actions vs his rhetoric. Right to his face too.

    “What you’re doing is wrong. Here’s more money to keep doing it.”

    Okay…

    Netanyahu better WATCH OUT! If he DOESN’T change course he’s only going to a couple HUNDRED bombs instead of a couple THOUSAND!

      Oh please. That’s actually a far bigger step than he would ever take.

      When talking to someone you need to use arguments they care about. This means that when talking to Likud and their supporters you need to talk less about how their actions are an international crime and more about how they are increasing the risk of the retaliation and eroding Israel’s international support base at the same time.

        You can’t stop a genocide with reason, to commit a genocide you have to dehumanise people, you’re beyond reason.

        The only response to genocide is materially affecting the perpetrators. The time for diplomacy stops at atrocities.

        Don’t talk to Likud’s supporters about anything. Defund and boycott the country until Likud is not in power.

        That requires speaking to the international community and especially American voters to see what effect they can have on the current president.

    And at the same time the US Defense Secretary said Israel didn’t commit any genocide.

    The hypocrisy in the Biden Administration is so massive that they can’t even coordinate the talkie-talkie amongst themselves.

    This is a big step. Finally prioritizing putting things right with Israel is historical. Let’s hope he goes further down that road and looks at sanctions.
