    So if we’re funding a defense against one genocide and simultaneously perpetuating another, do we break even on the evil scale this time?

    It’s like we’re helping some crippled old grandma cross the street, but half way across we’re passed by lil’ Timmy on his way to school, so we stop to break his nose cuz FUCK YOU TIMMY! and then continue assisting grandma like nothing ever happened.

      Well, we’re funding Ukraine way more than we’re funding the Netanyahu/Biden genocide, but we shouldn’t be funding genocide at all.

    We should send Israel an invoice instead of aid and tack on an extra fee for being fucking embarrassing. Ukraine is grateful for every bullet and Netanyahu’s whole cabinet acts like America’s just supposed to give them free shit for no clear reason.

    I mean, we should be sanctioning them (like we do with Hamas, Iran, and Russia) since they apparently can’t go a day without committing a fresh atrocity. But if we’re going to provide them with arms, we should at least be getting paid.

      The US should issue Israel a refund and send over a team to retrieve the weapons it sold these murderous cunts. Then send them over to Ukraine.

      They need to be hit by as many sanctions as Russia for sure.

      More targeted at the people at the top who are actually to blame, though. Some of the Russian ones are too broad, hurting a lot of innocent civilians.
