The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

Seems like the Guardian is all kerpluxed that US is using diplomacy behind closed doors rather than announce everything to the world. Tuff stuff.

How has that diplomacy worked out the past 80 years?

Sometimes? Very well.

In this case? It's clearly not.

Freed hostages would disagree.

17,177 Palestinians would have something to say if they still could.

Which is a meaningless point in the conversation, but I sure you feel better.

Just because you don’t like inconvenient facts getting in the way of your argument doesn’t make them meaningless.

It is meaningless to the point. That's all you can do. Spit out some shit you heard on the street and hope it sounds important.

Making secretive arms deals in order to "jump over" the regulations, protocols and overall legislation meant to enforce transparency and accountability over this specific type of bussiness is not diplomacy, Its corruption

The story doesn't talk about arms deals. It only tells about support . I don't know what you consider secretive, but if you know about it my guess is it is not.

Lol
Tell me you didnt read the article without telling me you didnt read the article.

I'll give you a hint, look at the title. The whole fucking article is about the US supplying weapons to Israel without following US legislation.
