even if you "support israel" (i do not), seems kinda bonkers to be like, "well, israel really needs these constant shipments of thousands and thousands of american weapons"
their military is rampaging all over gaza, in the rare-ish instances they get clowned on it's tactics and not materiel that are making the difference, maybe if they didn't have a limitless supply of 2000-lb bombs they'd actually think twice before wasting them all on apartment blocks and hospitals and universities
Is there a version of kayfabe that works in reverse to make it look like you align with someone when you actually don't?
Biden has been gaslighting and appeasing the edges without acknowledging the full depth of the genocide. He's sanctioned low level individuals, not government officials that craft policy, and he criticizes specific military campaigns but not the genocidal directive they operate under. He drops food to sink in the sea that isn't even intended for refugee consumption when we could send actual rations that float and disperse in the air so people won't get shot trying to reach a pallet.
Everything he does feels like it's carefully created to indicate to humane people that he cares -- without actually effecting any difference in the genocide.
Meanwhile while the US, UK and Germany are sending weapons to Israel they dont need, Russia is gaining ground in Ukraine - regardless of what you think about that war, thia makes absolutely no sense militarily.

yeah, that's the thing, the u.s. is [judicious, or picky, or disastrously stingy, depending on who you ask] about arming ukraine in a defensive war against the massive army of a hegemonic power but all-in on helping israel kill a paramilitary group armed with small rockets and tunnels, and also kill their whole extended families, and also seize their little sliver of land to sell beach-front condos or whatever
