I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Both, it’s a Netenyahu problem and it’s attached to conspiracy theories around the assassination of the guy before him. The right wing captured cultural territory there that the progressive left have never been able to shift back, and it resulted in a lot of the population shifting to the right.

      In any case “the leader might lose an election” is not what the “with impunity” clause entails.

      Hitler also killed himself at the end of WW2, I doubt that could be used as an excuse to justify giving free weapons to the Nazis.

        The US was at war with Hitler, and has given other genocidal regimes weapons.

        That’s not where my interest lays, it lays in practical, and applicable solutions.

        You don’t have any, I don’t have any.

          Of course it’s impossible to prosecute the government with the largest military in the world.

          That’s not where my interest lays, it lays in practical, and applicable solutions.

          I don’t think you are arguing with bad intentions. but the premise of playing devils advocate is about the legality of sending weapons to israel, not whether the people doing it can get away with it which is the more practical side.

          Practically Biden can (and is required to) enforce Leahy law. Whether he follows the law is a different matter.

            Oh, if you’re just discussing things to play theoretical games, then I’m not interested. I play devils advocate to try to find practical means of intervention.

            That’s okay, thanks anyways, bye.
