So far we see confirmations of why the US needs to cut foreign aid to Israel. While the US is trying so hard to focus their efforts on their "pivot to the Asia-Pacific", Israel is pulling it back to expending resources on the Middle East.
Letting Netanyahu and the Likud party undermine Palestinian statehood isn't a long term strategy and, if the US state dep have any sense, they'll aim for a real resolution to this conflict, not just promises of "working towards a two state solution"
- neoromantique 3y agoThe only thing that cutting US supplies to Israel is going to accomplish is increase in deaths of innocent Palestinians as Israel will be forced to use less precise munition ‾\_(ツ)_/‾
- kamikazeturtles 3y agoNo, Israel will be forced to an actual peace settlement because those iron dome interceptors don't come cheap. It's only a matter of time before they run out, Hamas rockets actually start hitting Israel, and Israel actually legitimately comes to the negotiating table instead of trying to undermine and bomb its way to its objectives. Golan Heights will probably be returned to Syria, Lebanon will see some returned land, and we might see the 1967 borders in real life instead of just the history books.
- neoromantique 3y agoYeah, the moment Hamas rockets start actually hitting civilians en masse the brakes would be off. You can’t negotiate with Hamas.
- Der_Einzige 3y agoThe Asia pivot ended after Obama left. America doesn’t give a fk about what’s going on in Myanmar anymore (compare this to Obama pissing off his wife circa 2012 by kissing Aung San Suu Kyi and compelling the military junta to give up power for 12 years)
