      Can’t prove a negative. Prove it was a result of protests. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. Also… I asked first.

      I’ll be waiting.

        Can’t prove a negative.

        Nobody asked you to.

        I asked first

        No, you didn’t.

          You said “proof that protests work”

          Where is the proof. Provide it.

            you said:

            This had nothing to do with the protests.

            Where is the proof. Provide it.

            I asked first…

              Can’t prove a negative. You should prove that protests cause this. Provide it or walk away.

                  I can’t prove something didn’t happen kiddo. That’s not how this works. You claimed it did, the onus is on you. But- you clearly have nothing so…. Thanks for playing. We’re done here.

        Biden’s actions are pretty clearly NOT a reaction to the protests.

        We know this because the protests have been going on for a while now and Biden took no action whatsoever.

        It DOES immediately follow THIS news, and my suspicion is this is what caused the change in policy.

        March 27th - Israel uses US supplied bombs to illegally attack Southern Lebanon, killing seven aid workers:

        https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/05/07/israel-us-arms-used-strike-killed-lebanon-aid-workers

        April 2nd, Biden reportedly “outraged” over the attack that killed seven members of World Central Kitchen.

        https://www.reuters.com/world/white-house-outraged-by-israeli-airstrike-that-killed-aid-workers-gaza-2024-04-02/

        Now he’s saying no, we aren’t giving you weapons for Rafa. The last thing he wants is more dead civilians with US supplied bombs.
