Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

You could just read the article but here it is:

Currently, U.S. restrictions include an embargo on a certain weapons shipment and limitations on various combat-related equipment, even if they do not involve explosive ordnance. This embargo has impacted Israel’s defense capabilities, especially as the military now contends with active fronts in both Lebanon and Gaza, requiring strict control over ammunition and supply use.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh just nebulous things that could be anything. It's almost like the only restriction on military aid is stuff we don't give to anyone.

That reminds me of another Fox News hit, "The mobile WMD labs could be up here in the north, (generally waves hand over northern Iraq), or over here in the west, (tosses a finger towards the western deserts), or they could be hiding in baghdad, That's why we need to go in there and find them!"

Narrator: There were no mobile chemical weapon labs.

So I say again. Name one actual restriction. One thing Netanyahu has asked for and not gotten.

I literally did, from the article you’re commenting on but didn’t read.

Don’t try to move the goalposts hear.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No you literally haven't. That's some speculative bullshit. I want what I asked for. One example of something that was denied to the Israelis. Not Fox News dithering about possibilities.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world -3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It’s an example straight from the article.

You asked for one thing now you’re putting on other qualifiers.

[–] Maggoty@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

It's a quote from the article. It's not an example. It's the same as saying there are laws in the US that do things. It's the vaguest non answer possible.

[–] TheOubliette@lemmy.ml -4 points 1 day ago

Name a "certain weapon" and how it is an enforced policy change.

I ask because I already know that there are no real restrictions, Israel has received constant deliveries of the weaoons it uses to commit this genocide.
