    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.
