No assistance shall be furnished under this chapter or the Arms Export Control Act [22 U.S.C. 2751 et seq.] to any unit of the security forces of a foreign country if the Secretary of State has credible information that such unit has committed a gross violation of human rights.
You’re quoting a law that doesn’t apply here because US laws exist to be selectively enforced in the interests of the US. It sucks, but it’s been this way since at least WWII. Unless the Secretary of State decides to break decades of bipartisan support for Israel, this law is meaningless.
Now you’re getting it. This isn’t an argument. It’s an education on how government really works. If Biden was breaking a law, Republicans would immediately pounce to impeach him. But there hasn’t been a peep from them. So, no law is being broken.
Policy is not necessarily backed by law. The US supports Israel because they’re a friendly power in the Middle East. It’s in the interests of the US to have friends in oil-rich regions. Israel is a check against aggressive Muslim nations (e.g. Iran).
Given that Christianity is playing far too big a role in politics, it makes sense that Christians would more closely align with Jews than Muslims.
Why would he continue sending them bombs
Because it’s US policy.
US law is not to give weapons to countries that are using them to violate human rights.
I don’t think you have any clue what the laws are.
Ah, but I do:
And now you do, too.

I dont think you have any clue what the laws are -> well achshually laws don’t mean anything. Fucking incredible

No its a meaningless rhetorical game where you move the goalposts
Then you will be able to quote whichever law is tying Biden’s hands here.

So Biden’s hands aren’t tied, and you’re just pretending they are.
You don’t understand anything about politics or geopolitical. Glad we’ve cleared that up.
