The 10 year weapons deal signed in 2016? You do you, I'll blame Israel for the genocide and the rest of the world that isn't pushing for a peace treaty like the US currently is.

I have no idea why you keep bringing up that particular deal. It's not like it's the only or even last deal the US has signed.

The US hasn't stopped. The US went out of its way to ensureassure Israel that there wouldn't even be any delays in shipments.

The US is blatantly enabling genocide and it's currently headed by the Biden administration.

The Leahy Law prohibits selling weapons for genocide. Keep ignoring this because it's something you don't want to hear and call me a foreign shill some more. Lying in support of genocide is all centrists do.

10 U.S. Code 2249 section b:

Exception.—The prohibition in subsection (a)(1) shall not apply if the Secretary of Defense, after consultation with the Secretary of State, determines that the government of such country has taken all necessary corrective steps, or if the equipment or other assistance is necessary to assist in disaster relief operations or other humanitarian or national security emergencies.

I don't have a degree in political science, and I'm not a lawyer but there's the answer to your Leahy Law, but the last three words should sum it up. It also is talking about aid and not an existing contract. The more you know right?

You keep saying I support genocide, this is false and an outright lie. I've said over and over I do not support a genocide, not the one in Israel, China, or Ukraine. You've only mentioned Israel and you blame the US. What I find the most odd is this talk has been going on for a while. "Genocide Joe" that was the talking point, all you saw, everywhere. Genocide Joe. Then, Joe Biden drops out and SILENCE. No more talk of genocide for days. Nothing. Now everyone got their bearings straight and here we are again with all the "people" talking about the US and the dems fault for the genocide.

Why was there a break when Joe Biden dropped out? A real head scratcher isn't it?

"Not enough Palestinians are dead" is not a national security emergency.

People who oppose genocide were hoping Harris was better than Biden on the issue. Did you want everyone to instantly badmouth her without knowing her positions?

Any normal human would have blocked me for calling them out, or realized they keep responding to the same person. I wonder why you haven't figured that out.

Let me get this straight. Liberals are now, unironically, using international law as a defense for being the primary arms supplier of a literal genocide. And that’s supposed to be an excuse to vote Blue MAGA.

Lmao
