[Video] Democrats will have a symbolic break with Israel by pledging to "end military aid". Then move that funding to support Israeli schools, hospitals etc, so Israel can buy the weapons themselves.

They will not even end supply of weapons. Notice how people like Ro Khana say we want to ban weapons that are used to kill Palestinians as if there are weapons that are not used to kill Palestinians

Sounds plausible.

Even these politicians' own unelectability isn't enough to stop these bastards from sending blood money to Israel. Part of me hopes Israel releases the intel they have on these pieces of shit anyway.

Agreed. the "defensive weapons" vs "offensive weapons" logical gymnastics piss me off.

What i mean is I even expect offensive weapons to be send under the pretext thst those will be used to attack only Hamas

Systems that intercept incoming missiles are primarily defensive, though I expect it would be simple enough to use those same interceptors offensively. But as long as there are other offensive weapons and a defensive need it wouldn't make sense to do so.

I totally agree. I was just noting the singular example of what I would consider to be a defensive weapon.
