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?

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."
