minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mlcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up10·1 year agoI’ve seen polls. 🙄 71 percent of likely Democratic primary voters say that the U.S. should end its arms transfers to Israel until it “stops attacks on civilians in Gaza, supports Palestinian rights, and commits to a long-term peace process.” After a decade in which Democrats have shown increasing affinity toward the Palestinians, their sympathies in the Middle East now lie more with the Palestinians than the Israelis, 49% versus 38%. Also, let’s not ignore Zohran Mamdani winning his primary. Times have changed. Democrats aren’t Zionists and she’s voting against what her voters want.

minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mlcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up9·1 year agoCutting off the Iron Dome is good. Israel would not be able to wage genocide if they had to worry about being hit.
minus-squareDoom@ttrpg.networkBannedBanned from communitylinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down10·1 year agoIn your opinion. Half you bozos here believe Russia was forced to invade another country.
minus-squarequeermunist she/her@lemmy.mlcakelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoSo, it’s your opinion that Israel doesn’t need the Iron Dome to act the way it’s acting?
minus-squarenjm1314@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoPretty sure it’s the opinion of anyone capable of critical thought. You give a genocidal nation half a billion dollars for defense that means that’s half a billion dollars they can use elsewhere. I wonder what they’re going to use it on?
