"Stop strangling Gaza so tightly, or else we'll support you a bit less."
It's something, but it ain't much.
They'll consider supporting them a bit less.
"Stop making us look bad, it's election year..."
We'll support you a bit less ... after our elections are over and we can support you without any domestic consequence.
Remember the airdrops and logistics piers that the Biden admit spent months touting as the US's solution to the humanitarian crises, and we just need to give them time to be implemented. Then, when they didn't work (as anyone who was paying attention knew would happen, because they were fundamentally stupid ideas from the start), the admin quietly rolled them back without much fanfare.
This is at least slightly better in that it is in principle and actually good idea. But the Biden admin has no credibility for actually following through. The state department will release a public report saying that Israel is in compliance and military aid will continue uninterrupted; regardless of the facts on the ground.
By the time voters can see for sure that this was a lie, the election will have ended.
A tourniquet has to be released periodically, or you kill the limb
How much do you want to bet that the fascist apartheid regime refuses and the US government does nothing of actual significance about it, like usual?
Can I take the under?
Lip service before the election..
Things are so out of control that it is just insane.
'Risk' cuts....
More than the US has ever done so far.
Here’s how I imagine the conversation went:
Biden/Blinken: “Bibi, we’re getting a lot of flack for unconditionally supporting your genocide right before an election. So how about this: we’ll give you 30 days to starve, murder, maim, and massacre whoever you want. Go to town. And in 30 days the election will probably be decided, so you can most likely continue your ethnic cleansing uninterrupted. Sound good?”
Bibi: “Fuck you, I hate you, I want Trump back. But okay, thanks for the support.”
It's cool because nobody can starve to death in only 30 days. Ffs.
