We can just stop giving Israel money and weapons...
Ronald Reagan did it when Israel wouldn't stop seizing their neighbors land, what's changed?
Like, you're acting like the only recourse is fighting a war with Israel.
We can just stop funding their genocide, or Israel will drag us into a war anyways
How fucked are we that we can point to Reagan and say "do what this guy did"
It's the natural result of decades of the only standard being "I like the letter by their name".
Shitty people will always win in a race where cheating is legal. And as the DNC loves to point out: primaries aren't real elections and they can just ignore results if they want, so cheating is fine.
They stopped short of saying "only an idiot would think primaries matter" but unfortunately I don't think we're that far away from it.
Why does that bullshit about Reagan keep popping up?
That occurred prior to the start of the Israel-Iran proxy conflict in 1985, when Reagan set the precedent of support in the same conflict that you’re protesting right now.
When he cut back foreign aid to Israel, prior to the conflict, Reagan then provided military aid under the express agreement that they use it to attack Lebanon.
He wasn’t “being tough” on Israel. He was telling them where to point their weapons.
