Report: Biden Admin Lobbying Against Sanders Push to Block Israel Arms Deal
The administration claimed that blocking arms transfers would embolden Hamas — ignoring Israel’s genocidal slaughter.

Really more of internal US politics than World, but the Biden justification of emboldening Hamas is enough to justify it.
Better suited to Politics though.
It's about if a major world power will continue funding a genocide on the other side of the globe...
Unless you're making a joke that Israel is the 51st state, but even then, the people Israel is committing genocide against with US weapons aren't American.
It's obviously a larger issue than just America.
Biden’s behaviour is inexcusable here.
But if he does not do this he won't get re-elected. Don't you understand? It's all because he has to appeal to voters. Definitely not the millions of AIPAC dollars he received.
I agree that Biden's unquestionable support of Israel is a huge problem, but he's legit not doing it for the donations.
He got so much more than any other US politicians, because Israel used to know that no amount of bribes could ever buy that level of loyalty.
Bibi never got that memo tho, he just knew he could treat Biden like shit and still get everything he wants.
The real reason Biden has this level of support for Israel is even stupider, because Biden is older than Israel.
He's told the story multiple times over the decades, when he was a toddler and Israel was created, his dad told him to promise to always protect Israel because they were victims.
And it's fucking insane that over 70 years later that's what's been guiding US foreign policy for four years and why we keep arming a genocidal religious ethnostate even though it was a huge contributed to trump regaining office.
But that's why Biden will always give Israel everything they want, a promise a toddler made to his dad almost a century ago.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that Israel either has blackmail on Biden or that somehow every damn conspiracy theory about them (Israel, not jewish people at large) controlling the US is actually true.
They either have Biden by the short hairs, or some kind of leverage that gives them the US Executive Branch by the short hairs.
The US supports Israel so that Israel can prevent Iran from growing in power and take control of the region.
What is the argument here?
We cant stop giving weapons of mass destruction to this genocidal terrorist government, because otherwise this much smaller terrorist group may commit slightly bigger but still comparably very small acts of terror?
They try to make a point that its pressure so hamas releases hostages ignoring the fact that this war itself is embolstering support for hamas as freedom fighters against the tyrannical israel. They want the US to give weapons to Israel because it helps their propaganda.
What hostages? Does anyone really think there are any left alive and not either killed by Israeli bombs, starvation or straight up knifed by hamas out of anger/frustration/convenience?
I mean I'm inclined to believe so, given both hamas and Israel claim it's the case
Hamas are incentivised to not kill them arbitrarily (or put them at risk of being killed in Israeli strikes) because it's their primary bargaining chip, and Israel are incentivised to avoid targeting them for political reasons
What hostages? I always just figured this was a no hostage return we never stop full well knowing there’s no longer hostages to return.
Biden is really focusing on the core issues right now /s
Student Loans are fixed!
Doubling down on the wrong side of history.
This is how he wants to go out? Hand in hand with his fascist war criminal buddies? What a fucking joke.
