Just putting this up to contrast with this post and because Eli Valley is a great political cartoonist.

    It’s complicated for sure. I never thought it would get this far either.

    I mean, I absolutely am in favor of Biden cutting off aid, at least conditionally (though honestly I’d be ecstatic if it was unconditional and permanent, fuck Israel). If it’s a lose-lose situation, one should go with the more moral loss. I just also recognize that it’s not a cut-and-dry strategic decision.

    Agreed! I think conditionally cutting is best, make it clear you don’t support war crimes and genocide while still having cover - “the funding is available, we just insist that international law is followed.”
