    It’s alright, we can agree to disagree. Biden has criticized the Netanyahu government for their treatment of Palestinians. More should be done to ensure their safety, hence the conditial provisions of arms, but the United States policy stance has clear ambitions for a 2 state solution. Neither Hamas, nor the Netantahu government are okay with this, however it remains the United States ambition. I truly hope we can see this conflict resolved in my lifetime.

        As far as I’m aware, the US has not fired any weapons on Gaza soil. There’s been some defensive strikes to the north in Lebanon, but that’s it. Seems like a stretch to call the United States complicit when it’s goals do not align with the Netantahu government.

            Vetoing a ceasefire in an active war does not change states policy and actions, but you can spin this however you’d like and we can agree to disagree. There’s nothing wrong with disagreement, it just spurs the need for thoughtful discourse.

            • The US could have ended it 2 months ago, but instead it sends weapons and stops any international attempt at stopping it. It is complicit and all the resistance groups across the Middle East agree. US interests in the Middle East and military are legitimate targets. We can agree to disagree, but the US government will be held accountable for its war crimes.

                As any nation/organization should be. The US is not exempt from international law, but fortunately has a remarkably solid argument in defense of its actions here.

                    It would be naive to think the strength of a nation in international relations is not a waxing/waning manor. It’s of upmost importance to maintain policy that echos the opinions of a collective humanity.

                I haven’t brought race into this discourse and plan to keep it that way. This is discussing country policy decisions.

                • but racism explains why you are defending a genocide against the Palestinians. You would be singing a completely different tune if the people being murdered were relatively civilized relatively european.

                  where does your double standards come from, unless you don’t see the Palestinians as equally humans?

                    I disagree, the promotion of a 2 state solution in Israel parallels the states policy for the protection of Ukrainian sovereignty.

      You still haven’t been able to back up your claim that the USA is putting the breaks on it’s aid of Isreal because of the genocide. All you’ve done is point to the US going “we’d like it if you slowed down on the genocide, but we’ll 100 support you if you don’t” and tried to equivocate that as being the same, when it really isn’t.

        I said pumping the breaks. There’s still legitimate concern for the removal of Hamas as the acting government of Gaza. Neither Hamas, nor the Netantahu backed Israeli government want a 2 state solution, however this remains the US states policy. Whoever can broker a deal that affirms a 2 state solution here will hopefully produce meaningful change towards this conflict.

          Doesn’t change anything about my point.

          Incorrect. And you don’t see the USA sending endless, unconditional, military aid to Palestine so they can remove the Israeli government.

          Neither Hamas, nor the Netantahu backed Israeli government want a 2 state solution

          Hamas explicitly calls for a 2 state solution you lying ghoul.

          this remains the US states policy

          Not true, not until the US recognises the state of Palestine.

          Whoever can broker a deal that affirms a 2 state solution here will hopefully produce meaningful change towards this conflict.

          Going to be pretty hard to do while Isreal and the USA are committed to genocide.

            US aid is conditional to congressional support. Currently there’s debate on the issue at hand. Doesn’t remove the impact humanitarian aid has provided in the region. The 2 state solution has always been the desired solution here in the states. That position has been unwavering.

                The United States official policy is for a 2 state solution, I’m not sure how you can see it any other way. Feel free to present your arguments though!

                No, but if you’d like to make that conclusion, it’s well within your right to do so. This is why I support our democratic process and the debate it garnishes!

      Did anyone ever tell you the saying “actions speak louder than words” as a kid? Now apply that to state actors. No matter what words their US uses, no matter their criticism, their actions are very clear.
