Biden Wants Arms Deals With Israel to Be Done in Complete Secrecy, Without Congress
“I’ve never seen anything like it,” said Josh Paul, a former top State Department official.

I'm still not seeing why Israel is being treated as a priority over or at least equal to Ukraine. Ukraine is up against a legitimately strong adversary using human wave tactics. Israel is dropping bombs seemingly indiscriminately on mostly civilians. Ukraine is fighting for its existence. Israel is getting revenge on its much, much weaker neighbor.
If Iran and its proxies enter the war, that might change the calculations, but that hasn't happened yet.
Israel is also rich as fuck with a strong military. They do not need financial support.
But politicians elsewhere need israeli support (to get voted they believe)
NSO group would like a word with you
Agreed. Isreal doesn't need help putting the boot on helpless children.
It's a strategic foothold in the region for the US. And "Jeebus."
And the more support Israel gets to kill those civilians the more likely sympathetic regional neighbours would be inclined to join. And rightly so. It's genocide.
Republicans like Israel and don't (all) like Ukraine
Agreed. Even if Iran enters the war, it will be to stop a genocide. I don't understand why the US is so keen to tie themselves to Netanyahu's government.
US and Isntreal share the same settler colonial ideology and history. Native Americans or Palestinians, its all about genociding the "uncivilised tribal hordes" to make space for themselves.
Exactly. Any threat to Israel is a threat to US legitimacy.
Yeah, Iran is known as a moral beacon in the region, holding up human rights.
The only reason they would enter a war is, of course, to stop a so called genocide
Ukraine was never about Ukraine. It was about NATO's attempt to balkanise Russia, as said by US ex-VP Dick Cheney. It was about the attempted CIA coup during 2003 Orange protests, which failed, and another CIA attempt at 2013 Euromaidan protests, which succeeded, overthrowing sovereignty and democracy, installing US puppet, installing biochemical factories for genocide attempt against Russia, and to make more money for military weapons industry.
It was all about USA using Ukraine as a condom to fuck with Russia, and the whole NATO failed in unison.
We have already given the Ukraine over a 100b in funds. We don't need to give them anymore. I also don't want us to give aid to anyone.
