    When they openly provide support to this unit from other funding, will you wag a finger once, or are we going for the extreme two wags of the finger?

      Netanyahu’s going to fuck around and find out what our disapproving tone sounds like. He’s clearly unfamiliar with history if he thinks we’re unwilling to stand up for the innocent with a stern press release.

        Ronald Reagan was willing to cut Israel’s funding over shit like this, and he did.

        But man, it’s depressing that Biden is consistently further right than Ronald fucking Reagan…

      All they need to do to appear like they’re playing along is divert funds that would be destined for something else to this group instead. It’s like lottery money going to schools. Does that actually increase school budgets? No, they move funds that were going to schools somewhere else. Bibi doesn’t want to look like he’s playing along though. He wants to be a strongman.
