    Sell is the keyword there.

    Israel bought weapons.

        Yep, which underlines why this works, it has congressional approval. The entire point (and a requirement for) those funds is to spend them in the US defense sector.

          I’m not saying it doesn’t work.

          I’m highlighting how we’re still giving Israel weapons because they’re buying them with money we gave to Israel.

          Perhaps if we gave more aid to Ukraine than we gave to Israel, they would be in a better position to buy weapons.
