“That son of a bitch, Bibi Netanyahu, he’s a bad guy,” said Biden privately, according to Woodward. “He’s a bad fucking guy!”
Reads like a bloody Onion article.

See!?! It’s just so simple everyone! A random person says so!
You have brought up exactly one concrete claim - that the arms relationship is a “decades-long trade agreement” - and it was embarrassingly wrong. I can see why you find the topic so complicated, you seem to not know the first thing about it.
The US Israel FTA (Free Trade Agreement) was began in 1985. 1985 to 2024 is how many years exactly?? And the weapons sent is a direct result of the 10 Year Memorandum wish is in addition to the FTA.
It wouldn’t have happened without it. And it’s pretty safe to assume that canceling one, cancels the other. Which again, illustrate my point- NUANCED and COMPLICATED
Lastly… The fact that you seem to be incapable of counting excuses you from this discussion.
I’ll spell this out for you.
The US Israel FTA does not include military sales, which are regulated in separate treaties.
The 10 year memorandum is a memorandum (meaning non-binding) and only deals with financial assitance and missile defense - which I already mentioned. It can be cancelled at literally any time.
Neither agreement affects the other. You should Google a little more thoroughly. Or better yet, stop arguing about topics you don’t understand.
This is the last time I’m responding to you. I get the impression you’re just here to feed your ego.
This is not a constructive way to learn about topics you’re unfamiliar.
So what happens when you cancel one without warning? What do you thing will be the reaction? Think Israel will play nice?
And… No, they’re not the same thing, I never said they were. But they’re bridged in that the dissolving of one will all but guarantee the dissolving of the other.
You people think you know everthing about everything. But the simple fact that you can say it’s easy to just end a decades long agreement only shows your ignorance on the matter.
Like… you seriously think you know SO much more than the people who have dedicated their lives to geopolitics and diplomacy. THEY say it’s incredibly complicated. and I’m supposed to assume YOU are right and they are wrong? Expert vs. a Random Nobody?
Hmmm…
Yeah… good you have no intention to respond. I’m sure everyone must be as tired as I am of seeing you all attack everyone for disagreeing with you while offering no reasonable explanation to explain how it would be sO eAzY tO jUsT sToP!!!
I’ve answered everyone’s questions- whether you like the answers or not- NONE of you have offered a realistic example to support your bullshit.
So maybe it’s best you walk away.
