Hell yes, hitting emissions targets and making the cops helpless. Strictly upside

Insulting me won't change what the US does and it seems like you still struggle with the actual question. How do you justify the US continuing to send bombs to Israel to enact a genocide?

The Jewish people have the right to a home state as facing antisemitism has been a distinct reality of their cultural past.

No. No one has the right to an ethnostate.

I am not asking for all the answers, I am asking where could they get a fraction of the support they currently have?

I will grant you some things are complicated. "How do we get enough bombs to commit genocide" is a complicated question, and Israel currently has a single and seemingly endless answer in the US. So the one question I continue to have is where else would they go to replace what the US does for them? If it would make it more difficult and reduce the ability to commit a genocide, isn't that better?

I find it interesting that you were so confident before saying 'they would just go to China or Russia', but instantly fall to nebulous "negotiations would ensue" and cries of the complicated nature when getting any push back.

The lone question you still seem so adverse to considering: If they didn't get billions in bombs from the US, how else could Israel do this? Because you seem to believe with such certainty they could.

The point is you can say "it's complicated" about anything in the real world, yet things still happen. So the question, I'm still asking:

If the group that is currently giving all the of weapons used stopped, where else could their weapons come from? What are some possibilities that would be even remotely close? And if at the end of all the considerations it's a drastic reduction in how much violence they can do, or their ability to expand their violence in the region, isn't that still better?

Genuinely, who in the world has the capacity to give the level of aid the US gives to Israel. You say they would go to someone and don't want to predict who it would be, then give a list. What countries would be able and remotely willing to even a 10th of what the US gives to Israel?

You really think China and Russia would give billions of free weapons to Israel?

So… when America just- stops sending them arms, the next bidder steps in. That’s what happens. And that’s going to be either China or Russia.

lol, holy shit

Why defend an ethnostate?

In 1948 Britain gave away land they had colonized to another colonial project.

Sure, but as you pointed out maintaining a browser is hard. I don't know that any genuine fork or new browser is on the horizon, and the day to day of using firefox is fine by me, so a fork that strips there nonsense might be plenty for me.

Scabbing for reddit mod clout is utterly wild.
