I don’t mind supporting countries that actually need it but even if the IDF was completely ethical, and they’re not, they still wouldn’t need a single bullet of aid.
I don’t understand his angle here. He clearly has some sort of agenda, but I haven’t figured it out. Maybe he’s betting that this will turn some Democrats and moderates against Biden? But that requires believing that Netanyahu is telling the truth, which I don’t think a lot of Israel supporters necessarily do.
Either way, this is weird. Maybe he’s talking about the bombs that weren’t sent for Rafah? But getting pissed about one halted shipment out of everything they’ve been given is just fucking hilarious.
My guess – he’s aware his support is dwindling, and he’s trying to salvage it by blaming everyone else. Or, he’s daring the US to stop all shipments, but that would probably destroy his remaining support too.
Israel’s modus operandi is throwing anyone that does not 100% obey their commands under the bus instantly. It keeps all their loyal dogs in check and lets them know the slightest amount of disobedience is not allowed. One can do everything israel asks for 100 years and the one time they step out of line they will fully get thrown under the bus.
The question you should be asking here is what Joe Biden’s angle here is. Because Biden is still sending them 99% of the weapons. So apparently losing the election while israel is still committing Genocide.
Israel does make some of their own weapons. (Have you ever heard of the Uzi or Desert Eagle?) Just not enough for their current goals. I’ve heard that proposed as a reason the US provides them so many weapons, to suppress the growth of their local weapons industry.
While U.K. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticized Just Stop Oil protestors after they sprayed Stonehenge with rain-dissolvable orange cornflour powder the day before the Summer Solstice earlier this month his government is pressing on with a road tunnel that could alter the monuments ritual landscape for ever.
Hmmmmmmmmm. Where are all the outraged little industry apologists, that were so mad about the lil bit of easily removable paint, from the post last week.
If you want outrage, then reacting to Stonehenge being in danger from the construction of a road seems much more appropriate than from it getting dusted with colored corn starch.
We did it here. I spent years protesting and camping on-and-off when they tried to build the M3 motorway through the Hill of Tara, an ancient site with similarities to Stonehenge.
Wait… could Just Stop Oil have done some 5D chess move here? Force Sunak to publicly claim he cares about Stonehenge just before the UNESCO report comes out?
Just to reaffirm. This ruling is insanely dumb and absolutely hamstrings pretty much all federal enforcement in any domain (it is for a case specific to the EPA but it hurts the DEA, SEC, and DHS just as bad).
The majority opinion notes that the Supreme Court should be the one that makes these technical judgements on behalf of these agencies, despite that opinion itself containing a technical mistake…
SEC hurts because the SEC has been stepping up regulatory changes to increase transparency and fairness in an inherently unfair market (by design!). No surprise all of the big hedge fund terrorists like Ken Griffin donate almost exclusively to republicans. What a coincidence!!!
