No more offensive weapons
Let them buy all the defensive weapons they can afford, Iron Dome, etc.
I think US gives them the weapons otherwise, they don't even buy them? No more.
It is insanity to let them just kill whomever they want whenever they want as many as they want
Israel has a right to exist but not kill thousands of innocent people
They also have universal healthcare while US never will because we've spent $21 Trillion since 9/11 on militarization, adding another trillion this year and now have to replace all the tomahawks etc
- hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 6mo agoNo, just give them nothing. "Right to exist" is a bullshit propaganda term. Doesn't mean anything.
- tarkin2 6mo agoIt frames themselves as under attack, which thereby gives themselves moral justification to attack, and when those attacked attack back they fulfill their justification, and the circle of violence and death perpetuates.

- sgt 6mo agoThey will just start making their own offensive weapons.
- well_ackshually 6mo ago>Israel has a right to exist Countries don't have any "right to exist", this very term is thought terminating propaganda created by Israel. Israel does not have a right to exist, countries either are, or aren't. People have a right to live. And as it stands, Israel is a terrorist nation commiting war crimes and a genocide daily. "Defensive" weapons also do not exist. If you give Israel weapons, or sell them weapons, you are complicit in their actions.
- constantius 6mo ago> thought-terminating propaganda Exactly. I always struggled with this (which is the desired effect) until I heard Francesca Albanese give this exact answer. There is no right to exist for a country under international law, but there is a right to live for people.

- sgt 6mo agoWhat he's saying is that Israel itself doesn't have a right to exist based on international law, but its people - be it Israelis or Palestinians have a right to live.

- well_ackshually 6mo agoPalestinians are already being hurt by israelis, Palestinian land was stolen by israelis, Palestinians are being put in open air concentration camps by israelis, humiliated, abused, starved, killed, hunted down, so excuse me for not caring much about your "problematic statement". Countries have no legitimacy to exist, however they do have history: Israel as a state is a lot more illegitimate in its existence than a Palestinian state, and considering it is the state committing a genocide right now and it doesn't seem to be sticking: Israel doesn't have a right to exist, and the state that is right now Israel is also a terrorist, genocidal one. Israelis forced themselves in stolen, colonised land, settled with violence, used the weapons of the western colonizers against local populations and actively worked to destroy every attempt at peaceful cooperation that there has ever been, member of Israel's current government having actively called for the murder of Rabin and might very well be directly involved in it. Israel has made it so that the situation effectively ends with either Israelis dying, or the whole region dying.
