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:

Why would anyone make friends with the US if they can't count on our support?

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 10 points 9 months ago

No one should be "friends" with the US, and every single one of its allies that stands by as they authorize ethnic cleansing is complicit in genocide. The decent people of the world all look in horror at what Israel is doing, they don't care about 'setting precedent' or the US abandoning its ally by not giving them weapons. By giving weapons to Israel the US abandons basic human principles.

Because allies do not always stay allies. And because the US is friends with another country it doesn't mean that country has a right to every single weapon in the arsenal. The US will offer protection, and back up their friends with military support.

Sure, every single one. What's the purpose of the arsenal if we're not using it?

What kind of friend won't let you borrow any of the stuff they just keep mothballed in storage?

We should give Israel everything they ask for to eliminate Hamas, who in addition to being the implacable enemy of Israel, is also the implacable enemy of the United States. Why not? Because Palestinians, our enemies, might die in the process? Wow, sucks for them I guess, but they should have tried not being the enemies of two powerful democracies that have been desperately seeking peace with them for 50 years.

What is your desired outcome here? Your replies make a strong case for your desire of the genocide of all Palestinians.

That's sick. You really need to take a good look inside yourself and figure yourself out if you are calling for a genocide.

"Your honor, when I killed that family and stole the deed to their house I was in fact desperately seeking peace"

Hey Bob! Can I borrow you chainsaw to cut up a body that I killed yesterday? I'm sure you're not using it right now and we've always been friends
