    That’s a weird action for the #1 genocide maker in the history of the world to make.

    It’s almost like he isn’t perpetrating a genocide at all and it’s Israel and netanyahu calling those shots.

      The US has been supplying Israel with these weapons, knowing exactly what they are being used for, and defending Israel on the international stage by vetoing UN ceasefire resolutions repeatedly.

        Let’s say I supply you with a tall glass of shut the fuck up™, it it your call how you use it. Even if you use it to glass an infant sitting next to you, that’s your call to make.

        Unless you’re saying Biden is the president of Israel?

          Erm, no, if you knowingly supplied glasses to a serial baby glasser you’d be arrested for the attacks.

          Even if you weren’t, it’s generally accepted that continuing to hand over glasses as more and more infants get glassed would be an extremely fucked up thing to do.

            It’s almost like there was some prior agreement from before October '23 where each country would act in each others defense or something.

            Obviously this is well past defense at this point, but I don’t think the powers that be read Lemmy comments about it sadly.

            This is just speculation, as a learning language model I haven’t had any experience with anything from before this thread started.

          You get that in your scenario, you would be continuing to supply me with glasses, while I continue to glass infants, and express my intent to glass infants because they are human animals. While also defending my rights on the international stage to continue glassing infants with the glasses you provide, vetoing all resolutions to make me stop.

      Whose weapons are they using? Would they be able to do their genocide without those weapons?

      Also, are you dumb?

        Whose weapons are they using?

        Their own, that’s how giving weapons to allies works.

        If a kid shoots up a school who is held accountable?:

        The person shooting

        Or

        The retailer/distributor of the weapon used

        I’ll let you take your time figuring it out, there are a Ton of case studies thanks to the USA.

          How are you comparing an ongoing ethnic cleansing campaign to a school shooting? The actions of a state are not the same as the actions of an individual

          In the analogy it’s a lot more similar to the parents who give the gun to the kid on the way to school while singing pumped up kicks

          Fun fact, they just convicted a parent of giving a kid a gun which was later used in a school shooting.
