    If you have two brain cells, and your head is not entombed within your own anus, it is plain to see. I hope my country pays in full for this monstrous genocide we are enabling fervently.

      …and use disgorgement to claw back profits from the “defense” industry

      “Disgorgement is the act of giving up something on demand or by legal compulsion, for example giving up profits that were obtained illegally.” - wikipedia

    Under U.S. law—specifically Section 620I of the U.S. Foreign Assistance Act—the federal government is barred from approving arms transfers to any country that “prohibits or otherwise restricts, directly or indirectly, the transport or delivery of United States humanitarian assistance.”

    Blinken’s official denial that Israel is restricting the flow of U.S. humanitarian aid allows the Biden administration to maintain that its weapons transfers are lawful.

    If Biden had an R by his name half the country would be demanding he be held accountable for valid reasons.

    But he’s got a D by his name, so we’re expected to just fucking ignore it like a trump supporters ignores Trump’s crimes.
