Serious question for the people criticizing Biden’s authorization of weapon sales to Israel: It’s simply factual that the overwhelming majority of the sale was munitions for replenishing Israel’s Iron Dome system. It’s barely covered, but Israeli civilians live under constant rocket bombardment from terrorists. And not just from Hamas. Right now, Hezbollah is just firing explosives into people’s houses. Iron Dome intercepts these attacks, saving civilian lives. So let’s say you get your way. Biden declines to authorize these defensive weapons, and Hezbollah and Hamas can slaughter civilians it will. What the do you think happens next? Do you think this move would cost lives or move us closer to peace? What do you think Israel would do if their defenses were down? Is it possible Biden is using a deeper moral calculus than Twitter is telling you?
@BriannaWu Since the iron dome is strictly defensive we should also provide one to Gaza.
@SanDiegoSRA @BriannaWu We aren’t really in the business of defending terrorists
@testlap @SanDiegoSRA @BriannaWu Good thing the civilian population are not terrorists you genocide supporter!
