Biden Is Not the First U.S. President to Cut Off Weapons to Israel

 https://www.yahoo.com/news/biden-not-first-u-president-172558453.html

Dwight D. Eisenhower threatened economic sanctions and an aid cutoff to force Israel to withdraw from the Sinai Peninsula after it invaded Egypt in 1956. Gerald Ford warned that he would reevaluate the entire relationship in 1975 over what he considered Israel’s recalcitrance during peace talks with Egypt. George H.W. Bush postponed $10 billion in loan guarantees in 1991 in a dispute over settlements in the West Bank.

  1. Maybe, but here's the bigger question:
    Since Israel invaded Gaza, it has made its aims clear:
    1) retrieve the hostages
    2) get Hamas to surrender
    Biden, who has been moving towards open support for Hamas for the last couple of months and seems incredibly desperate for Rafiach not to fall, suddenly announces he has intel - he knows where Hamas' leaders are!
    Now, the same guy who's complaining that Israel has killed too many civilians (and as the guy who botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan, he knows all about killing civilians), the same state department that announced "We can't find any evidence that Israel committed war crimes but we're sure they did, we just know it!", suddenly announce that they have information that could end the war. Why did they not announce this 3 months ago and save thousands of civilian lives in Gaza? Why wait until now?

    1. Wow!
      Biden has not been moving toward open support of Hamas
      Would you likewise claim Trump has been moving to open support of antisemitism?!
