The US has presented 3 separate peace deals that everyone has accepted but Netanyahu has sabotaged at the last minute.

Because Netanyahu knows he'll keep getting his genocidin' weapons no matter what he does.

There are Republicans in Congress voting to authorize those packages, too.

And still no Republicans calling for peace or trying to get Netanyahu to accept the terms of the peace deals, nor Republicans decrying the genocide in Gaza or the West Bank…

Congratulations on having two parties that vote for the policies you support. Not getting how that is some sort of comeback to my assertion that Netanyahu is getting the weapons no matter what he does.

Ah, so now it’s my fault, too, eh? Lmao

If you want to argue against things I haven't said, I guess it's a lot easier than arguing against things I have said. I'll leave you and the straw caricature you've constructed of me to talk things out.

If you’ve suddenly been struck by amnesia, you can just scroll up and review your past comments.

You can also scroll up:

Yeah, I remember the part about you saying you were leaving. Apparently, you had another episode of amnesia.

He seems to get that a lot, including what country he's in. Weird right?

How much of that is from the 10 year weapons contract signed in 2016?

How does that exempt us from the Leahy Law?

You know the deal. You know what's happening, I asked what's your angle and you seem to refuse to answer that. I'll give you a quick ELI5, Iran will run roughshot over the middle east if there isn't someone there to keep them inline. Israel is that someone. If you don't see that, you're either wearing blinders, or you're a bad actor.

Israel has nuclear weapons and can defend themselves just fine with the conventional weapons they already possess. They do not need our assistance in committing genocide.

I'll repeat the question you completely ignored in favor condescension and flimsy excuses for genocide:

How does that exempt us from the Leahy Law?

How does that exempt us from the Leahy Law?

Us? Who is us?

The United States government in this case, as they are bound by the law.

What? That's a lot of words for "us". I'll ask you again since you like to dodge questions, what's your angle?

I don't want the United States to ignore the Leahy Law in order to sell weapons that Netanyahu will use to commit genocide.

I don't want Israel to commit genocide.

Well, they're currently doing just that. They will continue to do so as long as we keep selling them weapons.

So the blame is on the US and not Israel?

Do you blame gun manufactures for school shootings?

It's so weird all you "guys" bash and bash the US for supplying weapons, (which anyone with half a brain knows we have to) but none of you seem upset with Israel, you know, the ones actually doing the genocide. The US is trying to negotiate a peace treaty while the REST OF THE WORLD does nothing, and you blame the US. Seems ridiculous to anyone not trying to push a narrative.

And with that I'm done with you, you have nothing to add but your bullshit. GL with whatever campaign you're on, this isn't reddit, people here can see through it. No need to answer one of the two questions I gave you with some generic bullshit response, I've heard it before, save your bandwidth.

So the blame is on the US and not Israel?

Because it's within our power to cease weapons sales and we don't.

which anyone with half a brain knows we have to

The Leahy law says otherwise. But when I brought it up last time, you decided to pretend that you didn't know who I meant by "us."
