We were never gonna get an arms embargo. It would have been nice, but that wasn't a thing that was realistically gonna happen. She's still wants a ceasefire. Still thinks the things happening in Gaza are a "humanitarian crisis," which isn't saying genocide but is still more than biden really did. The uncommitted movement, even in prior articles on here, said they're not expecting an arms embargo, just some sign that things will change. Like a ceasefire and some kinda peace deal. This is just her doing what everyone expected, including uncommitted organizers, supporting Israel but still pushing for change. Now, if the uncommitted organizers move the goal posts, that shows their not willing to compromise at all.

Yeah and Biden wants a ceasefire too. If only there was a way to achieve that oh wait they can stop giving israel 2000 pound bombs to burn children alive.
SE Michigan: "Wow look at all this red that magically appeared out of nowhere"
Oh no she didn't unilaterally and radically turn against 50 years of standing U.S. foreign policy, guess we gotta let the fascist win. /s
We just need better alliances in the middle east already; standing willingly behind a genocidal regime was and will always be a terrible plan. Which country would simultaneously form an alliance as well as ensure the safety of Palestinian civilians?
It’s weird to be ok with supporting genocide
It’s weird to pretend that the other guy wouldn’t have an even worse policy.
The situation in Gaza is shitty, but making it a primary election issue without looking at the alternative is asinine.
“Look, sometimes you just gotta shut up and accept a genocide” is a pretty crappy election slogan.
This is an issue, not an election issue. You can oppose genocide and not be a MAGA idiot. It’s weird having to apologize for supporting an ethnic cleansing.
Diplomacy is WAY harder than you're making it out to be. She can't just say "F Israel" and pull out unilaterally. You have no idea how complicated this all is
Supporting genocide is ok when it’s complicated? It’s so difficult not sending 2000lb bombs lmao
Centrists pretend anything they don't want to do is too complicated.
Literally just stop sending bombs to israel and the Genocide ends. They had ran out of ammo months ago if Genocide Joe didn't keep resupplying them.
This is like saying it would be complicated to not send arms to the Nazis if they were a "strategic partner against the Russians" in WW2
Not for centrists it isn't.
