    but asking them to stop won’t work, and stopping arms supply won’t work…. so, either diplomacy or forcefully stopping them is required… at this point i think the U.N. should forcefully invade Israel.

    You are leaving out the third and probably most important part, that Brandon (why don’t you mock him? he doesn’t deserve to be taken seriously!) should stop protecting Israel from its neighbors.

    Without the US as a threat so you think Egypt would cooperate with Israel? Do you think Iran would be content to just watch and do nothing? Do you think Hezbollah would merely launch rockets and do nothing? The Red Sea would become unusable for Israel and they’d lose all access to trade through ports. Do you think they’d be able to use the Red Sea to ship in the weapons they try to buy from somewhere else (again, where else? India? )

    Israel couldn’t keep up the genocide without US backing and you need to recognize this. We are complicit. This is Biden’s genocide.

      you vastly underestimate what Egypt would do if these countries attacked them….

      but, it has happened before….

      btw, the entire country is drafted into the military at age 18…. that’s a lot of fully trained soldiers….
      they have advanced hacking capabilities, as well as jets and tanks… they can’t use most of that of Palestinians… but nobody is being held back by J’bRaNdOn

        It’s not 1967. Back then Israel was a modern army fighting people on horseback (okay fine that’s an exaggeration, but not much of one! the gap was way bigger back then). This is a totally different era of warfare.

        Also? Everyone is drafted into the military at 18 just becomes an officer by 21, it’s a joke army and that’s why Hamas keeps smoking their tanks to post on TikToc. You are actually vastly overestimating Israel’s capabilities, which has been an international propaganda effort by Israel to portray themselves as an unsinkable aircraft carrier. That’s why they’re turning Gaza into a mass grave. Hamas humiliated them and now they need to show they world that they are strong and in control.

        The truth is that Israel would not be able to fight a war on multiple fronts after having already fought in Gaza for eight months. The 21st century is a different battlefield.

            You’re the one saying Israel is an indestructible titan that can fight all of its enemies at once after being bogged down in war for 8 months. Cut off the US supply of bombs and they’d run out in weeks. Let Ansar Allah blockade their trade in the Red Sea and they’d be unable to be resupplied by anyone else - if they could even find anyone else! You still failed to actually name someone that’d be willing to arm Israel. They’d waste all their ammo and be left with nothing to do genocide or defend themselves.

            Now of course we should do more. There should be sanctions on Israel and we should demand they return everything the US has ever sold them, and bomb them if the refuse to comply, but ending US support would go a long way to ending the genocide and you need to reconcile with this. Israel just couldn’t get away with this without a superpower behind them.
