    The difference between still providing Israel defensive weapons and curtailing shipments of offensive weapons needs to be explained to the public. It seems the media is not up to the job.

        Well no. There is the anti missile system. We’re still supplying bombs and artillery shells too though.

        Sure.

        Rocket motors for Iron Dome = Defensive

        GBU glide bombs = Offensive

        Not so hard, unless you really didn’t care to begin with. One can only be used to defend as anti rocket fire. The other is dropped on things you don’t like in an offensive manner.
