    I don’t disagree that the conflict has to stop, but I don’t see how anyone can force a ceasefire between two separate independent countries. What action do they think the US can take to force this situation? No matter what you offer or withhold it’s still ultimately up to the individual parties involved.

      True, though the US is one of the biggest suppliers, if not the biggest, for Israel’s military.

      America only cares about money. This shit costs them HUGE money.

      This is exactly how you stop the war by shutting down infrastructure.

        Ok, but this war is between Israel and Hamas, what can America do about it other than what they’ve always done and bomb the shit out of both sides?
        It’s like protesting in Toronto because they don’t like a new policy in Tokyo.
