Gee. It's almost like they had advanced warning that things in the middle East were about to go sideways. But, sure...tell us again how Netanyahu went rogue by attacking Iran. It makes so much more sense to believe this was an unexpected turn of events, and the US knew nothing of his plans. /s

This explains it in better detail than I could. It isn't so much a single law, but rather a lot of different laws that all work together to ensure that Israel is given everything it could possibly need for its own defense...even bypassing normal regulatory measures in the process, as long as certain conditions are maintained.

Israel has invested tens of millions of dollars lobbying for, and helping to write, the legislation that guarantees their continuous access to weapons. A lot of it is written directly into defense spending bills that are essential for domestic defense spending as well. So, without a massive shift in policy at the legislative level to disentangle those priorities, that support is legally binding.

Well, it IS the literal embodiment of pointless, ego-stroking extravagance, so...yeah. I can't really understand why anyone wouldn't consider it "bad spending".

So, just go into it with violence in mind, then? What advice is this really giving? Shoot first, because they're just going to lie about it anyway?

Fuck that.

Defend yourself if you have to, but telling people to use violence, just makes what they say about protesters, true. Don't validate them.

Even though it's obviously illegal? JFC.

Is this real?

Enough is enough.

The US is obligated by law, to keep sending them weapons in order to maintain a "qualitative military edge" against all potential threats. This unfortunately incentivizes Israel to maintain a high threat level, in order to increase the amount of weapons it receives.

If only Zelenski had given him a golden airplane. /s

So...just let him keep breaking the law until it reaches the Supreme Court? I thought they were supposed to pause his actions, pending appeal...not let him keep going.

The US is doomed.

Fake nails.
