The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military. The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said. President Biden is facing sharp criticism among Americans who oppose his support of Israel. The administration in February asked Israel to provide assurances that U.S.-made weapons were being used by Israel Defense Forces in Gaza in accordance with international law. Israel provided a signed letter of assurances in March.

    Those are not two state solutions graphs.

    Do you actually read those? Those are graphs for what people want if a two state solution is available in the set of options in the study.

    That twenty percent figure comes from if you remove all other possible options.

    This its an example of ‘lies, damned lies, and statistics’ except as usual, it’s not the statistics doing the lying but the person misinterpreting them.

    Edit: while I don’t think the author of this it’s biased, I think the methodology of the study is shitty. Not maliciously so, just it’s really hard to build studies that get to peoples underlying views.
