    No point meeting them because what they want, the complete defunding of Israel, is a political impossibility.

    They aren’t going to listen to the reasons it’s a political impossibility, so there’s no point talking to them.

      And here I thought they just wanted Israel to stop their genocide of Palestinians

      Shit, I bet if they’d negotiated in good faith people would’ve been happy for them to just stop butchering the children. I’d personally be happy if they spares one child live for every one they choose to murder - but I’m just a bit more reasonable than most, I guess

        That’s not what they want of Harris. They honestly believe that if we stop funding Israel, the genocide would stop.

        It wouldn’t. Israel has never needed our help to commit war crimes, but you can’t convince them of that.

          If Israel never needed the aid to commit war crimes, why would the US continue to send 20000lb bombs etc? Those are not defensive.

          We want Harris to deny all non-defensive munition shipments. Stop aid until Israel comes to the table in good faith and stops escalation
