President-elect Donald Trump’s promise could lead to a 60-day cease-fire, allowing Israel to suspend hostilities until military support resumes under the new administration.
I’m curious, does this mean that you would consider China to be absolved of responsibility for arming Pol Pot, who used their weapons to murder millions of innocent people, on the basis that they never expressly told him to do it, and “merely” kept arming him while it was clear that that was what he was doing? Because I’m pretty sure that kind of apologia would catch you a ban even in the tankiest of tankie spaces, and rightly so. But switch out China and Pol Pot for the US and Netanyahu, and dronies consider not taking that position to be “misinformation.”
Knowledge != expressed purpose.
We supply Israel for the defense of Israel, what they then choose to do with it is on them, not us.
What a fascinating standard.

Why do you believe this? Don’t people have a responsibility to not give weapons to people knowing they will be used for genocide?
Also, us? Are you part of the Biden admin?
