    I mean, arms sales continue? Arms sales circumventing congressional approval, even.

    Not to the same degree. Last big one I heard from the US was jets, but they were air superiority fighters, which isn’t useful against Palestine. They will be useful against Iran if something happens with that.

    I can’t really hear people talking about asking people to exercise restraint while pulling out all the stops to send them weapons.

    Again, we have changed the degree to which we are selling them weapons. Yeah, it’s still going and it almost certainly always will. If they’re defensive weapons only, I’m good with that as a place to start.

      According to Times of Israel, the jets are F-15IA (Israeli-variant F-15EX), which are quite capable of carrying over a dozen bombs equipped with the JDAMs also being provided.
