    What restrictions?, the article doesnt mention any, Bidens ultimatum came and went with no action.

    Both sides were for unconditional aid to Israel, kamala may have added some laments about loss of life but she repeatedly said restrictions on military were off the table. Until someone can point to me a concrete policy that kamala had in her platform that was different from trump then yeah both sides are equally bad on this issue. Trump is worse on a lot of others but to a Palestinian they are both bad.

      The article has a vague statement trying to make it sound like there were lots of restrictions, but I think it’s just the 2000 lb. bombs, and maybe some sort of guidance system (IIRC). Because it’s a fucking Fox News article for some reason.

      Currently, U.S. restrictions include an embargo on a certain weapons shipment and limitations on various combat-related equipment, even if they do not involve explosive ordnance.

      Allowing them is definitely more bad, but it’s going from like 95% of maximum complicity to 100%.

        The only restrictions are stuff we don’t give to anyone. By the end of Trump’s term I will not be surprised if Israel has an Ohio class submarine.
