No way they were using all those weapons for genocide??!!!?!

lmao as if he's just now realizing this, sure thing.

And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?

At least its a slight movement in the right direction, but until the flow is cut off entirely we need to hold his feet to the fire.

Means tested genocide!

Oh come on. This is pretty limp wristed narrative bait. There was one shipment out of many that maybe got held up, temporarily, potentially by accident, that's not the firm moral opposition to a genocide that we seem to think it is

Plot twist: the bombs were intended for use in Rafah and Biden feared they only might be.

… Was there shipments to Israel before last week?

[–] Lath@kbin.earth 1 points 1 year ago

Definitely would. The more accomplices, the better.

Biden has been slow-walking arms to Israel for a while but there are forces that want to use Netanyahu's actions against him as if Biden has control of him.
