    I want the Biden administration to stop selling them weapons and going to bat for them at the UN.

      please tell me what voting for a non-binding ceasefire at the un is going to do unless you’re going to start physically using force against israel?

        It tells the world quiet clearly that you don’t side with a genocidal regime for one.

        The current approach has all but destroyed any moral high ground the US, UK and other western countries had around human rights.

          i don’t like the israeli strategy but calling everything “genocide” does nothing to help the situation.

          we have treaties for a reason and that still doesn’t say anything about what voting for a non-binding ceasefire will do for the region.

            I’m not calling everything genocide. I’m calling the genocide that Netanyahu is perpetrating right now in Gaza a genocide.

            Pretending it’s anything less tells me what you are.

        Please tell me what continuing to block it will accomplish, other than signaling support for Netanyahu’s genocide?
