Really good and important video. One point you might include: Biden asked congress yesterday (?) to give him the power to do arms deals with Israel without any oversight by congress or the need to make them known to the public. Maybe it's a conspiracy theory, but this sets Israel up to become an eternal hub for "laundering weapons", i.e. get them to any place (at least in the middle east) without them being traceable back to the US.
