Israel cancels diplomatic visit to U.S. after U.N. vote demanding cease-fire

"How DARE you demand we stop genociding innocent Gazan civilians by the tens of thousands! We're not coming for dinner!"
- We didn't even demand we just didnt veto others demanding lel

Israel constantly spits on the US
- Yet we give them billions of dollars
  
  Religion is a hell of a drug.
  
  AIPAC is a hell of a drug.
  Government coffers are being emptied in exchange for campaign donations.

Fuck Israel. De-fund these motherfuckers.

No matter how much Biden gives Israel, they'll always treat him like a little bitch, and Biden will always do what they tell him to.
Because they know they can get away with it.
I can't understand why people act like it's no big deal, if the president of America has more loyalty to another country, it should be disqualifying. I don't care what letter is next to their last name.
No matter who gets elected in a couple months, America won't be their priority.
- Oh stop.
  Look, the two frontrunners for president were born in the 50s. For them the 1967 war on Israel is living memory, with Israel only having been formed as a state in 1948. For most of their lives, Israel has been a priority in US foreign politics.
  For most of what I imagine is much of your own life, Israel has been aggressively expanding at the expense of the Palestinians. Mine too.
  Without condoning it, our elder statesmen and stateswomen understand the middle east differently, and are looking for distinctly different outcomes. That ship doesn't turn on a dime, but it's fucking turning.
  People are dying and its maddening. I also assure you that nothing the US does either way will appreciably change anything over there. That conflict is baked into the very earth itself. Does that justify the arms deals? No. Do I have a point? Probably also no. But that's how it is and it sucks.
  You get used to it, I guess. That also sucks.

  If the US turned off the spending taps, stopped blocking Security Council Resolutions, and stopped acting as Israels lawyer, arms dealer, propagandist, and bully things would change pretty damn quickly.
  Israel is effectively an American colony. It would turn into a pariah state very quickly without US backing.

  Biden has gone record multiple times saying his unwavering support for Israel is from when he was a very small child his dad said they were the good guys...
  I believe him when he says that, and I believe someone like that should not be anywhere near a political office. He's clearly mental unstable if that's the truth, and a liar if it isn't.
  An entire lifetime has passed by since then. It's just absolutely fucking insane, but that's what he says.

  ...
  You don't think if Israel got billions of dollars a year less for defense spending and didn't have the biggest kid on the block defending them nothing would change?
  If they acted like this without the US behind them, they'd be wiped off the map.
  If the US left them, even for a brief period like a year, they'd be forced to actually pursue peace.

  Could not disagree with you more on this.
  Stop sending them billions of our taxpayer dollars, and stop sending them any more bombs being used to slaughter civilians. At the very least, this would force them to spend their own capital to produce their own bombs. That alone would make a massive difference.
- queue all the people forgetting the four times they vetoed the same call for ceasefire... (and that really is directly on Biden and his ambassador)
  
  They have reversed their veto now, that's what the article is about that you're commenting on.
  Biden has tried negotiating directly with Netanyahu, and because that has stopped working the WH is starting to change how they're dealing with them.
- Your comment is uninformed, ill-conceived and most importantly baldly inaccurate on its face.

  Odd that according to you they didn’t tell him to veto the vote.
  
  The United States abstained, allowing it to pass.
  Oh wow, look at the absolute bare fucking minimum...
  Now Israel is surely in trouble after a non binding resolution...

Good, while we're at it let's cancel all their diplomatic visits and stop giving them money.

K

Oh no! Anyway …

The whole country?
Why are they afraid of saying "Netanyahu"?
- Because that’s usually how you talk about news? It’s not that weird lol. Weirder when they say “the White House,” “Downing St,” etc.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday canceled a trip to Washington by an Israeli delegation of top officials after the United Nations Security Council passed its first resolution calling for a Gaza cease-fire.
The United States abstained, allowing it to pass.
The resolution, backed by 14 nations including China and Russia, demands an immediate cease-fire during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and the release of all hostages.
Four previous cease-fire resolutions had failed, including one proposed by the United States on Friday.
