Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg on Friday labelled Donald Trump the "more dangerous" option in next week's US presidential election but slammed the incumbent administration for its support of Israel.
The zateo article never says ‘withholding all aid,’ it’s completely congruent with the YouGov data which I also linked. It says ‘withhold weapons’ in the context of Conditional Military Aid, which is where weapon shipments are withheld as long as Israel violates International Humanitarian Law, which they are.
We, the US, are also continuing to violate International Humanitarian Law, as well as the Leahy Law, by continuing to send weapons unconditionally.
It was a single shipment, all others were not paused. Plus they continued with that single shipment anyway, regardless of the war crimes. Who gave the backlash? It certainly wasn’t the American public. It was Netanyahu and other members of the Israeli Government, who are currently committing genocide.
Blowback is the violent retaliation that happens after repeatedly attacking Civilian populations with overwhelming force. Continuing to send billions worth of weapons unconditionally for a genocide certainly isn’t helping prevent blowback.
30 days after acknowledging that Israel has committed violations of international humanitarian law and is withholding aid to a starving population is insane, especially since it places the window until after the election when people want to see a change now. Those people can’t wait 30 days. The US basically gave Israel a 30-day window to continue violating International Humanitarian Law and starving millions of people before even the semblance of consequences. And it isn’t conditional aid, it’s ‘possible consequences’ while the Administration simultaneously said that the warning was 'not met as a threat. ’
Rhetoric is not action. The actions of the Biden Administration have certainly not been in favor of a permanent ceasefire.
The rhetoric coming out of the White House, when it has been focused on peace or restraint, rather than continuous war, has been undercut at every turn by its actions. The constant supply of weapons — $17.9 billion of bullets, bombs, shells, and other military aid in the past year — has allowed Israel to keep waging its war on Gaza, and in recent weeks, expand that war to Lebanon and threaten to escalate its conflict with Iran. Despite documentation of U.S. weapons being used in probable war crimes, and credible allegations that Israel is committing genocide in its war on Gaza, the bombs have continued to flow.
Obviously Trump is significantly worse. I’ve never once told people to vote for Trump. Literally the opposite, I’ve only expressed that people should vote for Harris despite the Democratic Administrations unconditional support for this genocide. I will continue to criticize them for it until they change course.

November is not ‘many months old.’
Also, 51% of Jewish Americans Support Withhold Arms Shipments to Israel. Painting the Democrats decisions to continue unconditional aid as if it’s in the best interest of the majority of Jewish Americans is untrue. Judaism is not Zionism.

One Year of Empty Rhetoric From the White House on Israel’s Wars
