I mean, I'm sure there's opinions in the article...

But the headline and subtitles are just both factual statements.

There's no opinion there.

The funny thing is Israel has money and weapons and they're not fighting literally Russia. They're not like Ukraine, they don't really need any extra help...

Oh no, how dare you point out Genocide Joe’s blood-drenched hands! Don’t you know that holding Biden accountable for his mistakes and malfeasances is literally the same as handing Orange Mussolini the presidency on a silver platter?

Yeah, this person doesn't understand foreign policy AT ALL.

I suggest you look into what "slow walking aid" means.

It would be a shame if one part of a massive shipment of weapons just happened to cause the entire lot to be delayed.
