Positions on funding Israel continues to be her weakest and worst takes. But that's a common L for Congress.

In my opinion, we shouldn't be supporting Israel in any shape or form. It's on the Israeli government to stop what its doing and make moves towards peace so no missiles are launched.

No it cuts off "defensive" weapons. Which do not exist under international law. According to international law all weapons to Israel should be banned.

This seems pretty divisive in American politics for multiple reasons

Yeah the division is between people supporting genocide and people not supporting genocide.

Must suck for non genocidal democrats who have no option but to ignore this next year during campaigning; logically realizing they must minimize these issues to help fight against the worse Republicans

You mean the strategy that just helped to cost them an election?

[–] BrainInABox@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 days ago

The very same strategy that got them where they are.

No it's going to suck for the genocide Democrats losing their reelection because they wanted to support genocide.
