The only reason the genocide can continue is because the US sends billions of dollars worth of weapons to facilitate it, and blocked every UNSC resolution calling for a ceasefire. The US provides both political cover for Israel internationally, including actions such as sanctioning the ICC, as well as material aid necessary to carry out this atrocity. The US is actively involved in the genocide.
That's certainly true. I'm just not sure they'd be able to stop it without more direct intervention.
Israel is entirely reliant on the US material support to exist.
Don't mind me. I'm probably just being needlessly nihilistic, but it's kinda hard to not be these days. I just reckon that they'll still find a way even without the US. But it's a pointless argument anyway, because that'll never happen.
Reagan was able to do it by clicking his fingers. He wasn't exactly a dove.
If the US stopped sending weapons Israel would have to stop the genocide regardless of whether they want to or not. Already even with being pumped full of pentagon weapons and fundings all they can do is bombing unarmed civilians from far away because every time they try to actually fight Hamas or Hezbollah they get fucking shredded and have to retreat within a few months and their supposedly impenetrable iron dome gets regularly bullied by Hezbollah and Ansar Allah drones, so without US help they would be doomed to fall unless they sue for peace.
