But the analogy here was to continuing arming Israel. Why have you switched to supporting arming anti-cartel programs when the original analogy was funding the cartels.

Do you or do you not support the US continuing to arm the cartels?

I support people understanding that conflicts are far more nuanced and difficult to resolve than one would think.

You would have said the same about the Holocaust.

    These arguments are so disingenuous.

    None of us have any clue about the nuances within the bills being proposed, unless we actually take the time to read them-- which most of us have not.

    All I'm trying to argue is that AOC has a right to be concerned about an amendment because she is thinking of the unintended consequences behind the proposals.

    Of course I want Israel to receive zero fucking dollars from the US, but I am thinking of our pull out from Afghanistan and all the fucking allies left behind to die.

    There's enough intelligence in the room to come up with something that doesn't lead to more deaths.
