      Let me euphemize this for you properly.

      “We are posting soldiers there to keep the peace. Also we’re creating a zone of 10 kilometers where no Palestinians can live to keep Israelis safe. Also we’re settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, now the Palestinians are close again. Now they need to move another 10 kilometers to keep Israelis safe. Also, we’re settling Israelis into the zone. Oh, …”

      The best way to stop Israel from doing this is to threaten to stop sending money to Israel.

        I don’t know if that’ll make a significant enough dent. Looking at some numbers, the US aid clocks to about 10% of Israel’s military spending.

        Why do they even send money to Israel?

          It’s to test weapons systems in a real world context.

          Like people legit don’t make this connection. The data from the Iron Dome is incredibly valuable. Likely the US is getting data on Bunker busting and tunnel clearing tech.

      But he said he was convinced that “the Israelis are going to do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians.”

      Don’t be so sure
