No, he's justifying a genocide with "suck it up buttercup"

And why do we have to offer a solution? I don't need to come up with a solution to know that genocide is fucking evil.

I see what he said as just being pragmatic. Some of the responses to what he posted veered into beating up a strawman. As for the solution part, the name of the topic is related to that, hence why I pointed it out.

The US leveraging the fact it is Israel's main provider of aid, weapons and diplomatic cover to make genocide & sabotage infeasible for them. What we've been saying for months

Biden did allow the UN resolution to go through demanding the ceasefire and has been trying to get Israel not to go through with invading Rafah.

As for the weapons, I was hoping they would go to Ukraine instead who needed them more badly to deal with the Russian invasion. Plus, Israel doesn't even need the weapons if all they want to do is take Rafah anyway. That said, it may have to do with preparing for an external threat and/or deterring other countries or groups from getting involved, such as Hezbollah.
