I'll admit it right now. Not that it matters why Netanyahu is refusing to negotiate.
You seem to be under the impression that "negotiation" means "asking nicely and giving up if they say no." If Netanyahu refuses to cooperate, you stop giving him weapons until he does. Obviously. How bad do you have to be at negotiating to not realize that?
I'd imagine they have enough munitions and suppliers for it not to matter, and doing so will simply deteriorate relations, causing the US to hold less sway with its one ally in the region.
Nah, that's too nuanced - just don't give them guns and they'll stop.
It doesn't really matter what you imagine. It's worked before and I bet it'll work again. And even if it doesn't and Israel is entirely independent from the US and totally needs nothing from us.... Why is that a reason to supply them. Great they don't need our shit let's stop giving it to em.
Hold less sway with an ally... What good is that sway of we can't stop a genocide with it? Or really slow it down even a pinch? I'd rather people doing genocide don't like us actually... They're evil.
