Right, Bibi was going to do what Bibi was going to do Archived Message

The US gives a lot of aid, but people forget Israel is a rich country on their own. US aid is only ~15% of their defense budget. They were going in and reacting exactly how they wanted no matter who was president, and they can largely do so without a supplemental. Biden has been publicly supportive which you can quibble with, but it’s mostly meaningless platitude as it relates to what’s happening on the ground. If he publicly condemned the response, Bibi would still be doing the same thing. It’s like a censure in Congress. Purely show. Bibi is a terrible guy responding terribly to the situation, and Biden maybe shouldn’t have locked arms as ferociously as he has with him, but the whole Biden genocide thing is just absolutely crazy to me. The attack and response is out of his control. And the guy looking to replace him would lock arms with Bibi even further. Previous Message But in the end, I think that even if the US yanked all military support, Israel was still gonna do what they've done regardless.
