Harris's aide stressed that the current vice president will always ensure Israel is able to 'defend itself against Iran and Iran-backed terrorist groups'.

    No I don’t think that’s true. I dislike the whole “Palestine is a complex topic” when arguing about helping Palestinians.

    But saying they’re exactly the same is not true. The President doesn’t run the show despite how it is pitched. They don’t control the economy and don’t control foreign powers. Kamala and Trump will absolutely handle this bullshit differently, will either one do what will make me happy? No. But saying they’ll do the same is so not true.

        Because it is all a show.

        If Congress wanted to stop sales they would. Selling weapons makes us money, we never not want to sell weapons.

        The government as a whole wants to sell weapons the players and politicians will posture to look this way or that but they want to sell weapons.

          Since you said that it’s a show and it’s the congress and not the president who can control foreign country doesn’t that mean both trump and kamala are the same as they can’t control israel?

            Like I said to the other guy, if Republicans didn’t support Israel wouldn’t they be hammering Biden for this? They’re not. Because both parties want to sell weapons.

            If you really need an explanation on Kamala vs Trump in this area then I cannot help you. Trump literally will not look for peace at all, he’s even already fucked his relationship with the Iranian government who is heavily in support of Palestine.
