      That’s military aid not sales. Never mind that even selling weapons to a country engaging in genocide is complicity in the crime. US support under Biden was more than just military aid.

      long standing contracts

      That graph he just posted kinda pokes some holes in this narrative that it’s just “long standing contracts” when there’s a massive increase in aid during his term.

      There’s also the reality that you lot tend to ignore/deny which is that Biden bypassed congress to send additional weapons.

      And you describe the US as “the biggest weapon manufacturer in the world” as though that somehow makes it better instead of worse. We’re already producing ridiculous numbers of bombs, and then we’re sending even more bombs to arm a genocide, and that’s somehow OK?

      It’s so ridiculous. All the US is doing is having Israel do it’s dirty work so it has plausible deniability that rubes and partisan hacks can hide behind.

      We evolve from “I’m just doing my job” to “I’m just doing my contractual obligations”. Shut the fuck up cancer.

      sold

      See the graph is specifically about aid explicitly not buying/selling. Without this aid Israel could not survive not to mind perpetrate it’s many many horrors and atrocities against the people of Palestine, Lebanon, Iran etc.

      If you want to be sarcastic or disengenous it’s best to pick one or the other both together just make you look like an arrogant fool.
