Biden seeks to “allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles,” his request states

The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:

The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:

        It’s a quote from President Bush you downvoting idgits.

        And unfortunately, there is a point.

        “Israel is the largest American aircraft carrier in the world that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one American soldier, and is located in a critical region for American national security.”

        — Alexander Haig

        I have become staunchly anti-Israel since this all started. But let’s not pretend the national security ramifications don’t exist. The world cannot let jingoistic, religious-nut cavemen like Hammas run rampant.

        I don’t have answers. This is the most fucked up war I’ve seen in my 5 decades walking this Earth.

          Then you have problems with Israel, who funded and continue to support them behind the scenes.

          IDK, Iraq was pretty messed up.

          But yeah, Israel existing is good for US national security because they are like a lightning rod for all the nonsense in the middle east, and they somehow keep things relatively peaceful, more often than not.

          That said, I wish Israel and Palestine could get along. That’s obviously not happening anytime soon though, and the Palestinian people are caught in the middle, and they’re using my country’s weapons to do it. That sucks.

          That said, neither Biden or Trump have any useful solutions here, and they don’t seem to be trying. So I’m not voting for either.
