    I’m not in the US, but from what I’ve been learning over the last few weeks, USA and Israel are two halves of the same imperial whole. Politically crude and morally bankrupt. In other words, you’re right but I don’t expect change in my lifetime unfortunately.

      This is new tho.

      Past presidents, Republican and Dem, both would eventually reign in Israel with the threat of cutting off aid.

      Biden however has spent literally 50 years saying absolutely nothing will ever make him stop supporting Israel, and a significant amount of his administration is resigning because he’s making agencies release false information about how American munitions are being used…

      Because right now Biden is breaking US and International law by supplying munitions that are being used to commit a genocide.

      That’s just facts at this point, but Biden keeps doubling down on his lies and saying it’s fine because trump breaks laws too.

        Not without supported intelligence from the State Department and against congressional legislation. POTUS needs one of the branches to support that decision or face impeachment for taking action in bad faith.
