    Congress approved sending the weapons. It’s literally illegal for Biden not to send them. They wouldn’t even allow him not to send one type of bomb that would be especially catastrophic to civilians.

      The president has oversight in weapons shipments.

      Congress passed the Leahy law, which prevents weapons shipments to regimes that violate human rights.

      The only thing the Biden state dept has to do is acknowledge Israel’s war crimes in a formal report. But they have been bending over backwards to delay and water down the report.

      Biden could legally stop these genocidal resupplies today if he wanted to .

          intensive investigation

          Yes that intensive investigation has occurred, the report was released on May 10. It stopped just short of admitting gross violations of human rights in Gaza.

          This political document, submitted by the Biden administration’s state department, laughably suggests that there is no evidence of intentional wrongdoing, nor did Israel arbitrarily obstruct humanitarian aid into Gaza.

          I think the only way you can read this report and find it credible is if you are already filled with Zionist propaganda.
