Biden seeks to “allow for the transfer of all categories of defense articles,” his request states

The White House has formally requested the removal of restrictions on all categories of weapons Israel is allowed to access from U.S. weapons stockpiles in the country, as I reported in detail for The Intercept today. So you know I’m not exaggerating, here’s a screenshot of the request:

The request would also remove nearly all other limits on Israel’s ability to access the U.S. weapons stockpiles — permanently —by doing the following:

    First grow a conscience, then listen to it, then just fucking Google shit I don’t care. How can I help Palestinians in need? What pressure can I be placing on my local government to speak with my voice in the Federal government? What pressure can I be putting on the glorious DNC to not run Biden as their pick? What political groups in my area need active members and funding? The fucking history of what led to the concentration camp that is Gaza in general. Literally any amount of effort.

    Adding before you say anything, my tone is hostile because people say “what can I be doing?” Not with the intention of actually listening to any of it or doing fucking any of it but to try to catch me in some kind of gotcha where all my statements are irrelevant because I can’t do your job for you. I’m just a little bit mad about paying to turn innocent people into dead bodies.

        And there’s the follow up gotcha, you’re an absolute child. I do what I do and that’s my business, I don’t need to give you my CV. I’ll say this, I’m not sitting in my own shit like an infant and moralizing to people who actually give a fuck.

          Only one of us is throwing a tantrum and calling people names here.

          If you have all the answers about how to solve this problem, it’s tragic that you are keeping them to yourself, while simultaneously blaming everyone else’s cowardice and incompetence for a situation we realistically have no control over.

          I’m part of a group that regularly hand writes letters to representatives about issues including this one and I donate significant amounts of money to organizations that lobby the issues that are important to me, including this one. I canvas for local candidates that share my values. It’s all just farting into the wind though.

          If you have the answer, please share.

            If that’s all just farting in the wind figure out how to do more, throw a brick or something I don’t give a shit, but stop telling people to vote to use my labor to fund genocide and pad genociders paychecks cuz that’s not a solution now and it’s never going to be. The only answer I have is that everyone should be as mad as I am, everyone should be throwing a tantrum, in the middle of the fucking streets if possible. Come outside and yell with me, bring your friends, that’s my answer.

              Got it, throw bricks and insult people on social who share my values but feel powerless in the face of the capitalist juggernaut that is the US political system ✅

              Has the genocide stopped yet?
