Now - after Israel has over 300 kamikaze drones, ballistic missiles, and cruise missiles fired at it by Iran - Biden yanks Israel’s choke collar and tells them “no”...

From The American Conservative: Benjamin Netanyahu Is Trying to Drag the U.S. Into War With Iran .

From this an excerpt, it doesn't sound like Biden is "yanking Israel's choke collar."

Biden has approved more than 100 arms sales to the Israeli regime since October 7th, including, according to a report in the Times of Israel, “thousands of precision-guided munitions, small-diameter bombs and other weapons.”

Last month, the administration shipped over 1,800 2,000-pound MK84 bombs and 500 500-pound MK82 bombs to the Israelis. The former have, according to a Washington Post report, “been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza.”

To give a sense of proportionality, consider that the US dropped a total of one 2,000 pound bomb during its campaign against ISIS. Israel has dropped hundreds on Gaza. Meanwhile, Biden is currently lobbying Congress for an $18 billion arms transfer that would send dozens of F-15 fighter jets to Israel.

Yeah - I just don’t seek “American Conservative” as anything remotely what its name implies - it has little credibility. Israel is doing far less than what the US has done in their own retaliatory strikes against hard-core islamic terrorists... Of which Gaza/Hamas is a hotbed (of Iranian terrorism).
