We can vote for #Biden and get more aid to Israel, and not perfect climate policy, OR you can not vote, get #Trump who will give even more money to Israel, enforce the seizing of land in the west bank as well for property deals, end our democracy(albeit flawed democracy) and make the largest most powerful military in the world be a fascist military that will crush all decent.

Looks like we are locked and loaded. God help us if #Trump becomes POTUS..
In May 2024, the US Department of Defense maintained an estimated stockpile of approximately 3,708 nuclear warheads for delivery by ballistic missiles and aircraft.
We estimate that approximately 1,770 warheads are currently deployed, of which roughly 1,370 strategic warheads are deployed on ballistic missiles and another 300 at strategic bomber bases in the United States.
I'm going to stick my neck out and suggest that the extremist settler movement in Israel is rooted in the USA and culturally has a lot in common with US white supremacist/settler ideology—there's a reason Netanyahu is so comfortable with Republicans who dine at the Christian Nationalist table. https://mastodon.social/@cmonagle/112462865808610948
@cstross There was even a TV article, 60 Minutes IIRC, on American evangelicals supporting West Bank "settlers" in taking over what was agreed to be Palestinian territory. I think that support made the "settler" situation dramatically worse. #Biden is NOT to blame for far right Israeli government actions. Don't forget that #Trump actively supported Netanyahu and company, making a bad situation much worse.
