It absolutely does, Biden is a Zionist.

He is a proud and open one.

Could he cut off lethal aid? Absolutely!

But what would that accomplish?

First, Israel has access to several “emergency” supply caches in the area (that we actively replenish).

Secondly, any aid we cut off, say in March 2024 when it was overly clear what Israel was doing, they would still not be close to emptying their stockpile.

Thirdly, AIPAC would galvanize congress, the media, and then they would be shoveling aid to Israel and overriding Biden’s veto.

Fourthly, the US doesn’t have a monopoly on weapons export. I guarantee that other countries who are antagonist towards the US would step hand over fist to supply Israel with everything they need – or worse – because it weakens the US.

That isn’t hyperbole. It’s geopolitics.

So what’s worse?

A rogue client state that is itching to attack Iran and start wwIII with shout 50% of Congress in a death cult which requires Israel to exist to be destroyed so that sky lord can come and save them.

Or India getting a free field test of their armament?

One of those two options feeds the military industrial complex and the economy by extension. The other makes Pakistan enter the conflict. Now you have a regional war.

None of these things are good. But calling your congressman is a better use of your energy than yelling at idiots on Lemmy.

Signed - a fellow idiot.

Did I call you a Trump voter?

Is Biden running for reelection?

So you honestly think that Israel thinks that they’re the client state?

AIPAC owns the majority of the House and Senate.
Even if Biden stopped aid, there’s enough votes to override the veto.

Think critically and not with regurgitated talking points.

Here’s an article from 12 years ago that is still relevant:

Not saying that the situation is good.

Only one candidate is going to make this worse for Palestine, as a political favor. Recognition of the annexed West Bank.

I’m waiting for the strikes on Iran.

Because they don’t want another nuclear deal.

Hmmm maybe it’s time to solicit that VPN that doesn’t collect logs and is shady enough to accept cash payment…

Most of the podcasts I listed represent counter arguments that may help. There’s no simple way to change thought, but exposure to counter messaging, might bring about change.

It’s better in my opinion to meet people where they’re at. Radio isn’t where they’re at. That was my point.

The Majority Report on YouTube is fantastic.

The Daily Beans.

Beau of the Fifth Column.

I’ve Had it Podcast.

Vaush.

Pod Save America.

Bad Hasbara.

There are many more, but it’s a matter of putting ears and eyes on where they need to be.

Honestly radio is dying much like television.

Podcasting is the better space to get going.

Also tictoc.

We need to get the young folks of the incel pipeline .
