(20,453 posts)Israel had been ordering weapons directly through the Pentagon without directly going through the channels. How is it that this was even tolerable before that statement that finally sunk in by Netanyahu?
I've said this before, and I'll say it again, because although I'm very happy to hear about this, I'm about as pissed off over what has been done IN OUR NAME.
You know how big the Gaza strip is? 150 square miles That's 10 by 15 miles
2 million people within that border and they can't go anywhere. It's a fucking "escape from NY" situation. They can't go anywhere
Just what in the world would the Israeli people if faced with being locked up in one of their shopping malls and turning all the artillery on their collective assess? Does this put it in perspective quite well? I certainly hope so.
Here's another thing I've said
Withhold the funding, bring all the leaders to a room, don't let them out, no water, no food, don't let them out until they work out a peace agreement. There you go
You don't need a course in diplomacy or foreign policy experience to come up with that fast hard fix. Don't let the motherfuckers have one drop of water, go to the bathroom until it's in place.
This destruction has been funded by YOU.
You, and me
BTW, we pay more taxes than GE and the other war criminal companies that built all of these life ending weapons.
