No, it takes twice as much energy to refute lies and stupidity. The iron dome bill is exclusively for defense weapons intended to intercept icbms etc, but that wouldnt matter to you because you probably would say something insane like “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist” or something to that extent. So we’re not having a conversation based in reality. You screeching “Israel doesn’t have a right to exist” isn’t going to make several million Jews pack up their bags and exit the Levant. So we’re back to living in the world of Twitter memes and slop sound bytes. Now, I’m not saying I can predict how you’re going to move the goalposts. But I can infer where you stand

Ah, there’s your reason. You don’t care that she sent arms to Israel because you want arms to be sent to Israel. See, now we can identify the point of disagreement, which is that I’m not a genocidal Zionist. The iron dome bill is exclusively for defense weapons The thing about defense is that once you have it locked down, you’re free to do whatever aggression you want because nobody will be able to retaliate. The possibility of reprisals is the only reason Israel hasn’t fired up gas chambers and furnaces. By your logic, why don’t we just send Iran, Palestine, etc. the same kind of “defensive” weapons? It’s not like they’ll be able to hurt anyone with them. You can say “Iran doesn’t have the right to exist” or whatever but that’s not going to cause millions of Iranians to pack up and leave. No, it takes twice as much energy to refute lies and stupidity. So essentially you can just say whatever you want with nothing to back it up, gotcha.
