In reply to the discussion: Sanders to Introduce Amendment to End U.S. Complicity in Netanyahu's War on Palestinian People [View all]Arazi
(8,413 posts)Israel doesnt need our military weapons to conduct their war (note that Sanders deliberately specifies only military hardware.)
Wed still provide resources for the Iron Dome.
Wed still provide $$ for Israels intel and espionage programs that we rely on.
Wed still provide economic perks for the only democracy in the region.
Ive said before I support this move BUT folks should know this diminishes our influence over Netanyahu and it wont significantly impact Israels war (other than make it worse for Gazans who will endure more dumb bombs and less restraint by the IDF forces).
It might help Bidens position with the propaganda addled left who cant be bothered to learn what Biden has already done/continues to do. I doubt it tho since the pro-Pal group always moves the goalposts but! atm anything that might move a few of them back into his corner is a win
