    Meanwhile, Biden has just bypassed congress to send more money to Israel to help them with their genocide.

    No. He allowed Israel to buy weapons. Nobody likes it but giving weapons for free is completely different than allowing someone to buy weapons.

      On a normal year, we give Israel $4 Billion. That’s in a normal year, without a genocide to support. That’s not a loan. It’s a gift. Year after year.

      Whose money do you suppose is being used to “buy” our weapons? Is that really what you would call a “purchase”?

        I referred to your specific statement that Biden just used emergency powers to give Israel money.

        That’s not true. But that doesn’t make the rest good.
