    You’re over estimating the arms manufacturing capacity of Israel. Belgium has an arms industry too, but they’re not capable of suppling themselves in a prolonged conflict. Israel is in the same boat.

    Regardless, we can agree to disagree that using US arms as leverage would work. Maybe leveraging US arms would induce change, maybe not. But why not at least try?

    We both agree that shoveling more arms into the status quo should stop. So why not at least try to induce some change? Even if it doesn’t work, where’s the harm?

    The fact that Biden won’t do that, or at least stop the sale of arms, is a major issue. Is he responsible for Israel? No. Is he complicit? Yes.
