    Trump and so many of his zionist first supporters have backed Trump specifically because of “rising anti semitism” in US. University protests against genocide should have been handled like Kent State, to them. Biden/Blinken have been ineffective in getting ceasefires, possibly intentionally ineffective. But that is partly because Netanyahu prefers Trump, and Trump promises to fully support “finishing the job of genocide”. It’s unfair to critizide Dems for Israel, when US is bipartisanly Israel first political/state rule.

        Their syntax is wonky, but they’re saying Trump’s supporters would have liked the protests handled like Kent State.

      The US is bipartisan when it comes to Israeli support because Democrats haven’t broken from that bipartisan tradition.

      Once Democrats do, it is no longer bipartisan.

      I don’t expect Conservatives to do this given what you’ve said, so Democrats foot the bill.

      Biden has in fact already called for the cease of arms transfers, but that policy goes into effect after the election finishes. If Biden can call for it after the election, he can call for it today.

      There is no reason why the Commander in Chief cannot outlaw the transfer of weapons and ammunition to Israel. We’ve already broken one of our laws that prevents this.
