In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.

      Biden was NEVER selling weapons for genocide.

      Biden believes, correctly, that Israel has the right to defend itself from repeated attacks by Iran, we will continue supplying weapons to do that, what Israel chooses to do with those supplies is on them, not us.

      Should Biden have cut the supply when Israel proved to be a bad actor? Absolutely, but that doesn’t change the fact that Israel, as a soverign nation, has the right to defend itself and the US will 100% support that as we always have.

      What they are doing in Gaza is not defensive, it’s absolutely offensive in every sense of the word, but that’s on Israel, not Biden.

          Tired of your repeated bullshit crab. I’ve explained my position thoroughly, sourced with links.

          You’ve engaged in enough misinformation and repeated flame wars here. You’re done now.

          I’m saying Biden did not sell them weapons with the intention of committing genocide with them.

          https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpvne94v1rdo

          "The president has made clear Israel has a right to defend its citizens, consistent with international law and international humanitarian law, and to deter aggression from Iran and its proxy organisations.

          “We will continue to provide the capabilities necessary for Israel’s defence.”

          At no point, none, did Biden go “Sure, kill all the Gazans you want.” That was never his intent.

          Biden, naively, believed supplying the weapons with good intent, the defense of Israel, would result in them being used with good intent.

          They weren’t, but the bad intent is NOT why Biden supplied them.
