    I googled it

    There was an anonymous aide who said something, then National Security Advisor to the VP said they wouldn’t do a full embargo that would leave an opening for Iran to attack.

    But they also said Biden wasn’t stepping aside for any reason right up until the second Biden stepped down.

    That article I linked is a good read, there’s a lot of pressure from within the party for an embargo. And both Harris and Wall’s are open to discussions, and have already been having them.

    They’re not perfect, but they’re open to a dialog. It’s a huge improvement from Biden.

    They could still drastically limit what types of weapons get “sold” to Israel and what quantities.

    Put it on Israel:

    Save these for defense or use them for a genocide, but we’re not just giving you everything you ask for.

    If Bibi uses them for genocide and leaves Israel open to an attack from an actual country with a functional government and military, that’s probably the fastest way to get Bibi out of power. There’s already been huge protests in Israel for months calling for him to step down. And he’s delaying an election he’s almost guaranteed to lose.

    It just doesn’t take as much as you seem to think to end this.
