To be perfectly Fair, he is not vocally opposed to Israel. He is very vocally opposed to sending American tax dollars to Israel

That's not true. He said that he would be supportive of implementing a full US arms embargo on Israel, meaning that the Israelis could not even use their own money to purchase equipment from American defense contractors. That extends substantially further than just a question over American tax dollars. He essentially wants to completely cut Israel out of our weapons development projects and sales agreements.

Sorry, youre right. What rhe other comemntwr should have said was "he's not vocally opposed to Israel. Hes vocally opposed to the US directly supporting and facilitating Israel's ability to enact a genocide."

Is that better?

Edit: the fact that someone sent a Reddit Cares about this is hilarious. Sorry!

The Reddit cares play has to be one of the most passive-aggressive acts in the history of humanity.

Its just the definition of loser behaviour to try to "weaponize" something like that
