    Is he entitled to US arm shipments?

    The headline makes him sound pretty fucking entitled

      As probably the most active mutual defense ally of the US, military aid has been shipped to Israel multiple times a year for almost a century, so it doesn’t seem voluntary anymore.

      Spoiled, more than entitled.

    I’m not sure if he’s trying to help biden… you know… by making it sound like Biden actually did the right fucking thing here and cut off the genocidal maniac… or trying to fuck biden; because we all know that Biden will ship harder for Netty-Boo

        Tried to force. That bill was blocked by Democrats in the senate and Biden issued a veto theat to it.

        But your point still stands that Netanyahu in no way wants Biden to win this fall. He’s not coming to speak to congress and generally shit all over everything again to help Biden.

        Heck, Trump admin people are already doing Nixon style foreign policy interference with Netanyahu ahead of the election.

        Or doing it again rather.

        It has yet to pass the Senate, and Biden said he would veto it.

        Of course, Biden is still swearing to everyone that he is still sending shipments except for the one that he paused because of Rafah, and that he plans to keep doing it. And, his administration conducted an investigation which somehow managed to conclude that they “may have” been committing war crimes but that it’s not clear enough that we would have to stop shipping them weapons or anything which we would be legally obligated to do if they “conclusively” were doing anything criminal.

        Fuckin assholes

      If you think Netanyahu a revisionist Zionist in any way wants to help Joe Biden you are out of your mind. Anyone who thinks a literal fascist would ever back someone even mildly Progressive is nuts. Oh he’ll use Joe Biden and the rest of the Democrats, but Netanyahu throughout his entire life has been very clear about which American party he prefers.
