I notice that he’s specifying “economic aid,” not the other kind.

    Who is this for? Who actually believes that

    1. The Zionist entity doesn’t need US funding and arms trafficking, and/or that
    2. Netanyahu actually wants the yank gravy train to stop

    Who is supposed to fall for this bullshit?

      He’s speaking to his right wing flank in Israel that is currently foaming at the mouth over Trump wanting to do the MOU cause they want unlimited war. He’s just assuring them that he will continue the war even if Trump threatened to cut aid off, which as you point out is bullshit, they can’t even strike Iran without American refueling tankers.

      there is a difference between aid and selling of weapons. one sale of entity start up to google have been bigger than whole obama’s decade-long aid package.

      it’s such an easy win for dems and republicans to bullshit around. now it won’t be usa funded genocide, now it will be usa supplied genocide™. and that’s ignoring all the little bullshit around the margins they can to to continue funding as well (say providing intelligence is not funding entity, it’s helping an ally).

      notably no one in the democratic party (including dsa) supports sanctions and blockade of entity, much less regime change and military occupation
