    Doesn’t congress send the money? Also although I think Zionism is inherently flawed thinking, but you can be a zionist and not support genocide. Nothing about being a Zionist implies the state must grow or do anything in particular other than being a Jewish ethnostate.

    A two state solution was and is the only way there will be a modicum of peace, and no, it will not be fair.

        Don’t alter the headline. He bypasses Congress by not sending aid but rather by selling the weapons. Israel is paying for it, even if it’s wholesale prices on ammunition components.

            It’s literally not, like actually. Google it.

            That said, dude didn’t illegally bypass Congress, they gave the president that authority in the 70s and expanded upon it under bush. I don’t agree with it, I think he shouldn’t have done it and that it shouldn’t even be possible. It is absolutely something to legitimately critique Biden for, but it is not bypassing congress in some loophole thing.

              It literally is, like materially. My point wasnt that he is doing something illegal, my point is that he is aiding Israel by giving them bombs at discount prices.

      The existence of that ethnostate was built on the nakba and the continued subjugation of Palestinians and their Jewish allies.

      Want an ethnostate? Go take it from Germany. God knows they deserve it at least.

      Zionism requires the wiping of a culture and people to replace it with another. There is form of Zionism which is not genocidal.
