Unlike the United States’ publicly documented military aid to Ukraine, it was impossible to get the full details of what the U.S. has shipped Israel since last Oct. 7, so the $17.9 billion for the year is a partial figure, the researchers said.
They cited Biden administration “efforts to hide the full amounts of aid and types of systems through bureaucratic maneuvering.”
They could refuse to sign the legislation, and force a vote in congress to overuse his veto. Then at least w3 could say the president isn’t a willing participant to fucking genocide.
It’s worse than that. Israel is absolutely ineligible for aid under the Leahy Law. Biden, Blinken, and Sullivan have actively ignored any and all evidence of war crimes. Even when it was our own intelligence and state department agencies generating the evidence. He doesn’t need to veto any of it. He could literally just cite the law and freeze the aid. Then it stays there ready for Israel to show it can operate without war crimes.
They’re literally ignoring our own laws to support this genocide.
That’s fun. I hate how much geopolitics is involved in this crap. It’s not a hard concept to not support genocide.
