rome famously neglected diplomacy, but in either case once you get rid of the mental gymnastics your argument boils down to "it's too hard so we shouldn't try"

that's the thing though, they don't need to "get help to" palestine, they just need to stop actively supporting israel in its genocide

you think the appetite is going to be there for actually committing resources somewhere when they can't even just do nothing?

in the us, if you're arrested you need to be charged or released within a fixed period, usually up to 72 hours

tate was arrested in december, held for 3 months without being charged, was moved to house arrest, then was charged in june

Not really. In detail, maybe, but there will always be an excuse available to avoid committing US resources to any given genocide.

if you're arrested in the us, you have to be charged or released within a specific timeframe

they can't just detain you indefinitely for fun

palestine is a unique situation? buddy there's literally three attempted genocides going on at the moment. it's not unique by any stretch of the imagination

the math is pretty clear

for the immediate next election cycle, yes

for the next time there's a palestine, very much no

an incumbent has literally never lost a primary

biden was always more or less guaranteed to be the democratic nominee if he wanted to be

historically "vote for us because we're not them" is a very ineffective way of winning elections

continuing to vote for the mildly genocidal party is not going to make the mildly genocidal party less genocidal

why would you expect substantial change at any point if you re-elect a party after they spent a year propping up a genocide?

when tate was initially arrested he was held for months without being charged
