Our taxpayer dollars shouldn't be subsidizing this.

Right, but that is selling them weapons under the exact same rules that you sell them to everybody else, right?

If another country is buying the weapons and they're violating our laws, we shouldn't sell those weapons.

And it's the same for Israel.

Iranian rockets from hitting Israeli civilians.
