    I’ll take funding Israel and Ukraine together if we have to, because one war we can make a difference in, and the other we can’t

    Huh? Are you suggesting that the US can’t make a difference in Gaza? You do realize that Israel’s military would essentially crumble without our support, right?

    Edit: lol ok… IDF propaganda out in full force today. Without the US, they wouldn’t have the Iron Dome that shoots down like 90% of rockets aimed at their land. For one. Obviously “essentially crumble” was hyperbole to make a point, but they sure as shit would be thinking twice about their actions.

    The suggestion that the US can’t do anything to stop Israel is fucking stupid. Like you people who are downvoting me realize that’s what they said right?

      Uhhhh no they wouldn’t. The IDF is FULLY capable of killing every Gazan without a single additional US dime or bullet…
