That’s even more complicated than I thought it was. I’m not happy about it either, but I’m also not a protest voter, so I’d have voted for Biden either way.
Yet other American weapons continue to move through the approval process unabated. That includes a potential $1 billion tranche containing tank ammunition, tactical vehicles and mortar rounds that the administration reported to Congress on Tuesday. Biden also made clear the U.S. will continue to provide defensive weapons, including interceptors for its Iron Dome air defense system.

Legally, the U.S. can’t cut Israel off completely. Since 2008, the U.S. has had to weigh all arms sales to Israel and other countries in the region against the requirement that Israel maintains a “qualitative military edge” against all enemies, both state and non-state actors.
This is absolutely untrue. As Israel is in violation of international law, they are no longer eligible to receive foreign aid. The US response to the ICJ’s findings has been to condemn the court and threaten its members. That’s about as legal as Trump threatening the members of the SDNY over his hush money prosecution.
Misinformation or uneducated. Which one is it? I love how you compare Trump, because it gave away that you’re either a boogaloo, a tankie, or just a dumb accelerationist.
There are no universal rules or binding international laws that automatically make a country ineligible for foreign aid if it is found to be in violation of international laws.
Biden tried to stop giving them weapons, but got shut down by congress.
Republican lawmakers, along with some Democrats, have introduced legislation aimed at restricting Biden’s ability to withhold military aid. This legislation states that no federal funds may be used to halt or reverse the delivery of defense articles or services to Israel. The proposed legislation would also require certifications to Congress from the Secretaries of State and Defense to ensure that any withheld defense items are delivered to Israel. This measure reflects bipartisan support in Congress for maintaining robust military assistance to Israel despite the administration’s efforts to impose some restrictions
What you’re doing is spreading misinformation in an attempt to prevent Biden from winning the election, allowing Trump to win the election, and sending the United States into the toilet. All because because you are either brainwashed or being paid. You tell me…
“Biden” doesn’t have a choice. If you knew US foreign policy, you’d know that.
He didn’t just threaten, it got shot down in congress.
You—like many Americans—seem to have this idea that the president is all-powerful. There are checks and balances for a reason. Unfortunately, good policies can also get shot down without enough support.
But by all means, continue to spread misinformation. 🤷♂️
“Biden” doesn’t have a choice. If you knew US foreign policy, you’d know that.
He is compelled by law to halt military aid to Israel and he is refusing to abide by the ICJ.

This is the Unitary Executive Theory, and it isn’t a problem of me holding it as an idea. The problem is Presidents enacting it unchallenged by either the US legislature or the courts.

He threatened to, but he did not.
Biden continuing to supply weapons to Israel in defiance of the ICJ ruling is indisputable.

Yawn.
