"For months, Netanyahu and his government have consistently ignored American counsel as to how to prosecute the war in Gaza against Hamas after the Oct. 7 terror attacks. Biden and his aides were repeatedly frustrated by Israel’s widening war aims within Gaza — with a devastating impact on Palestinian civilians — even at the cost of a deal to free the remaining hostages.
Biden deemed Israel’s response “over the top” and did stop one shipment of American arms to Israel. But even as pressure grew from fellow Democrats to create distance from Netanyahu, Biden’s reflexive instinct was to support Israel despite the swelling humanitarian crisis. As his influence over Netanyahu shrunk, the president’s anger grew. Phone calls between the two men were increasingly turned into shouting matches, according to one of the officials and one other senior official not authorized to discuss private conversations. Biden told confidants that he did not believe his Israeli counterpart wanted a cease-fire deal, arguing that Netanyahu was trying to perpetuate the conflict to save his political future and assist Trump in November’s election, the officials said."
It’s not like the US has laws banning the delivery of weapons to states that are guilty of breaking humanitarian law, either
Yep, international law be like that sometimes. It’s complicated.
It’s actually extremely uncomplicated in this case. That’s why they had to present counterfactual evidence to congress to evade the explicit restrictions spelled out by the law.
I swear there was actually a name for that… pur… purge… perjury? Is it perjury? Wow i’m having some wild dejavu, has this happened before?
You’ll have to be more specific. I’m not sure what you’re talking about.
In fairness to you it has happened quite a few times.
Here’s the one i’m referring to, though.
It’s neat how it’s always complicated in favor of things that centrists want to do.

If you are a centrist, yes. I believe you do.
Ahh yes more of this garbage. Does it hurt knowing you can’t make the big tent work and you’re ineffective at making any change?
Can always count on a centrist to gloat that they’re getting what they want. Which in this case is continued genocide.
You’re weird.
I don’t regard deviation from your expected norms to be a bad thing. I’ve seen 14 pages of what you consider to be the laudable natural order of things.
