Joe Biden Moves to Lift Nearly Every Restriction on Israel’s Access to U.S. Weapons Stockpile
To get arms for its Gaza war, Israel is drawing on a U.S. arms stockpile. Joe Biden wants to remove all the restrictions on the arms.
This makes us a state sponsor of apartheid.
But we can't get an extra dollar for your health care, folks.
The dystopia is real
It's incredible that he's willing to lose his re-election over this. To plunge the entire country into fascist dictatorship all for the far right-wing in some other country.
It doesn't make sense even from a monetary position, Mossad has to have something very incriminating on him it simply makes no sense that he'd be this blind to reality, to his own political self-preservation.
Both of the major parties in the US are okay with fascism as long as their leadership remains part of the ruling class.

“If enacted, the amendments would create a two-step around restrictions on U.S. weapons transfers to Israel,” said John Ramming Chappell, a legal fellow with the Center for Civilians in Conflict.
Under circumstances laid out in these requirements, Israel has been able to draw on the stockpile, purchasing the weapons at little cost if it uses the effective subsidy of U.S. military aid.
The effect of lifting the restrictions on transfers to Israel — such as eliminating the requirement that the weapons be part of a surplus — could harm U.S. interests by diminishing American preparedness for its own conflicts in the region, said Josh Paul, a former official who served in the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.
The U.S. government is only supposed to spend $200 million per fiscal year restocking the WRSA-I — about half the total cap for all U.S. stockpiles round the globe.
The U.S. currently requires that Israel grant certain concessions in exchange for certain types of arms assistance from the Pentagon, but the White House request would remove this condition as well.
“The Biden administration’s supplemental budget request would further undermine oversight and accountability even as U.S. support enables an Israeli campaign that has killed thousands of children,” said Chappell, of Center for Civilians in Conflict.
