It's wild to me that Americans are suddenly playing moral police on this. America sells weapons to just about every dictatorship or oppressive government, to this day. Including Saudis, the ones who blew up the trade center. It seems hypocritical how hard Sanders and others are going, demanding the stop of weapons sales to just Israel. Why not the rest of the world?
Have to start somewhere, our military industrial complex isn't going to be stopped all at once. And the genociders are the most obvious evil at the moment.
We're not the moral police. There are many Americans who are diehard pro-genocide. There are others that are implicitly pro-genocide. They just don't hang out on Lemmy. Also, our media is focused on Israel right now. Most Americans don't know what our military is doing elsewhere in the world and the media doesn't cover it. It's hard for a populist politician to take a stand against our military industrial complex when the population doesn't know what that Complex is doing. That industry fights back.
It’s because the issue is popular/in the news a bunch
