And the millions of weapons prior to the some 3.5 thousand bombs weren’t?

Means tested genocide!

Oh come on. This is pretty limp wristed narrative bait. There was one shipment out of many that maybe got held up, temporarily, potentially by accident, that's not the firm moral opposition to a genocide that we seem to think it is

Plot twist: the bombs were intended for use in Rafah and Biden feared they only might be.

… Was there shipments to Israel before last week?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Definitely would. The more accomplices, the better.

Biden has been slow-walking arms to Israel for a while but there are forces that want to use Netanyahu's actions against him as if Biden has control of him.
