    That would be nice, but iirc he needs a legal justification or an act passed by congress to actually halt arms shipments. He made moves not too long ago against a specific part of the Israeli military that was found to be committing war crimes, which Netanyahu is opposing. If we get lucky, he might be able to use Netanyahu’s lack of cooperation to suspend or halt military aid entirely. His rhetoric has been trending in that direction, so I’m hopeful.

      Are you lying to yourself or to us? He just signed a bill to give them billions of dollars and veto every resolution the UN comes up with while also trying to block the arrest warrant. You need to actually do some research and stop watching DNC propaganda news networks.

      The Leahy Law. And the one unit they went after was smoke for the entire operation in Gaza. They aren’t letting men leave the combat area right now. Just detaining and torturing them. This isn’t just one problem unit.
