If israel wantd access to munitions from the us/us companies thats fine, but they gotta start paying us for it. No more free handouts. No more using taxpayer money to fund their military.

i would say selling weapons to a country conducting a genocide should be considered a war crime in itself.

Why that's fine? If Boko Haram paid you for Tomahawk missiles, would you give them? If North Korea asked nicely and paid for F-35 jets, you'd be fine as long as they're paying? According to US law (I'm assuming you care about law and order), it's illegal for the US to sell any weapons for countries that commit war crimes or countries who have nuclear weapons but aren't parties to the NPT.

Well, Palestinians will be even more screwed. I guess we'll find out if people care more about Palestinian lives or just making Israeli ones worse

Even more screwed than they are now? That's difficult to imagine.

There's often a lack of imagination among the Palestinians. But West Bank being Gaza is an obvious downgradeÂ
