This genocide is America's just as much as it is Israel's. We are the ones providing unconditional support to Israel, billions worth of military weapons, at the taxpayers expense. We are the ones providing international cover by vetoing multiple UN resolutions.
Not only is a weapons embargo incredibly popular, required by International and US Law, and the morally correct position; a weapons embargo would also free up those billions of dollars to go to healthcare, to housing, to education, to infrastructure, ect.
We also absolutely have the obligation to significantly fund humanitarian aid to Palestine, since all the death and destruction has happened with US Weapons and profited the US businesses creating those weapons.
Standing with Palestine is standing with the American people. Because we can change those billions going to their eradication, to instead go to helping the wellbeing of Americans and Palestinians.
