The law ( the Leahy Law) requires that the US vet any foreign military receiving US arms. However, that doesn’t happen with Israel

    Netanyahu has been an unmitigated disaster in every conceivable way, for a long time. The Israeli people really need to kick him to the curb.

    I mean, at this point he’s squandering good will and sympathy generated for Israel after a terrorist group specifically targeted civilians for rape, torture, and murder. It feels like something that should be impossible - I mean, it’s not like anyone sane would side with freaking Hamas.

    If you’re opposed to Hamas, it should be trivially easy to maintain the moral and political high ground over them. Yet he’s somehow failing even that.

    Cripes, what a clusterfuck.

      I keep reposting this one quote: “The bar to clear was on the ground and y’all brought shovels.”
