You're acting as though Biden was just handing Netanyahu a loaded gun unprompted. This is not the case; there were preexisting trade deals and treaties with Israel that were being honored. That's it. Democrats didn't want to slap a close ally by shutting down an agreement that was already signed. It's a shitty decision, but it's more complex than just being all-in on genocide.

The Leahy Law means nothing to genocide apologists.

(we'll leave aside for a minute the extra 18 billion that biden did hand over unprompted. The preexisting trade deals were for something on the order of 3.8 billion)

No it's not more complicated. Don't arm a genocide.

If your friend strapped on a swastika arm band and started goose-stepping around, you wouldn't slap them? Slap them! Shame them! Stop them! (I'm not sure how to work into the analogy that your friend has already killed tens of thousands of children) In the analogy i guess you had a pre-existing arrangement to give the guy some of your old guns. But now he's a genocidal maniac...you still give him the guns? Just don't instead. Let him sue you or whatever. Like...obviously.
