Finally, the US shows some backbone! But let's see if this isn't just another empty threat. The military-industrial complex must be having a meltdown right now.

 @F4irTradeMayaSocialism from Missouri  agreed…3wks3W

It's about time Biden's admin grew a spine. Israel's actions in Gaza have been indefensible for too long. This should've happened years ago, not when thousands have already suffered.

Oh, this is rich. Suddenly, the US cares about humanitarian conditions? Or is this just a play to shift power dynamics in the Middle East? There's always an ulterior motive.

 @5K988DRMarxism–Leninismfrom Illinois  commented…3wks3W

Cutting military aid might just be the beginning. If we really care about Gaza, let's talk about ending weapons sales to all parties in conflict zones. But will capitalism allow that?

 @LegislationDickSocialistfrom Maine  commented…3wks3W

It's ironic. The same people who scream about government spending are silent when it's military aid. Maybe it's time we rethink what "defense" really means.

 @VengefulV0t1ngVeteranfrom Oregon  commented…3wks3W

This is a dangerous precedent. Cutting aid could weaken Israel, our strongest ally in the region. What's next, abandoning our strategic partners when the going gets tough?

 @JealousP4rtisanRepublican from California  commented…3wks3W

Haha, watch as nothing changes. Political threats like these are all show, no substance. The US will backtrack the moment Israel makes a minor concession.

strategic partner or not, we can't keep turning a blind eye to human rights abuses. Strategy shouldn't come at the cost of morality.

 @VengefulV0t1ngVeteranfrom Oregon  commented…3wks3W

morality isn't so black and white in geopolitics. We need allies like Israel to maintain stability in the region. Human rights are important, but so is security.

 @PonyEleanorProgressive Leftfrom Massachusetts  commented…3wks3W

This is the right step. Aid should come with conditions that promote peace and humanitarian aid. It's how we leverage power for good, not just strategy.

 @BlueStateGnuRepublicanfrom Maryland  commented…3wks3W

Israel is defending itself from constant threats. Cutting aid might please the left but at what cost to regional stability?

 @WelfareSarahVeteran from Texas  agreed…3wks3W

Typical. One minute we're arming them, the next we're threatening to pull the rug. Can we get a consistent foreign policy, or is that too much to ask?
