It wasn't unconditional. It was conditional on Israel buying it at wholesale prices.
Conditional military aid refers to the condition that the aid does not go towards human rights violations.
Sorry, let me clarify. Biden did not bypass Congress with miltary aid sent to Israel. Biden bypassed Congress by SELLING weapon components to Israel.
The original poster stated that Biden bypassed Congress with military aid to Israel.
Yeah I know that. Their point to me was that it was unconditional. Either way, we still got them military equipment they can use unconditionally to continue bombing civilians in whatever schools, hospitals, residential areas, and refugee camps are left. With the vast majority of deaths being women and children. Sure we can talk semantics about aid vs selling weapons, but the real issue is that we (the US) are the ones enabling this slaughter.
