No kidding huh, I can't believe people don't see this. You want to influence Israel? You can't do that if you cut off communication and shun them.
Not continuing to provide them with weapons of war while they are actively committing genocide is not cutting off communication and shunning them.
That's on congress, not Biden.
Incorrect. We already have a law to not ship weapons to people who are credibly accused of what Israel is credibly accused of. As the Chief Executive Biden could simply follow that law which is well within his power to execute.
And yet I don’t see Republicans shooting down any Israel aid bills. Interesting, no?
“It’s Republicans’ fault that the US keeps sending weapons to Israel” doesn’t make sense when Republicans only control the House and Biden has to sign any bills they want passed.
Biden can only stop sales that are below a certain amount. Congress has been approving sales that are above this amount.
Congress has been passing bills that send money and bombs to Israel, and he has threatened to veto them before when Republicans were trying to tack immigration bullshit onto it.
Does that apply to all countries the US has differences with?
