Benny Gantz, a centrist member of Israel’s three-man war Cabinet, has announced his resignation, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of mismanaging the war effort and putting his own “political survival” over the country’s security needs.

    No they could not. The USA keeps helping Israel and runs interference in the UN.

      They sure could and would. They make most of their own arms. The biggest thing the US is doing is holding off a larger war. They do not need the ammo we supply, it just makes it less challenging for them.

        No the US is helping hold off the rest of the world from doing a peace keeping mission to stop Israel from the genocide it’s doing.

        It doesn’t matter if we stop weapons if we don’t also use soft power to stop the killings.

          Who in the world are you imagining? I’ve seen no one step to the plate.

            Who in the world are you imagining? I’ve seen no one step to the plate.

            That’s a reasonable question calling for a reasonable discussion. However, I’ve given up trying to find one on this chat board.

            Starting to see why this keeps happening to you if that’s your logic

              Why? Because I ask a reasonable question? In order to have peacekeepers you need countries to supply them.

                Because the UN has been trying to do peacekeeping only to be vetoed by USA

                  The UN does not have its own forces, it must aquire the blue hats from member countries. So, the question remains.

                    You don’t think any of the countries voting in favor of the ceasefire would add troops?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
