Hi, did you know that all the aid that the U.S. is sending to is actually illegal under U.S. law? There's like a 10% chance that you're going to see this at all because all of the videos that I posted yesterday were rejected by the app. They were under review for over a day. But if you do somehow see this, I'm Emma, and I work in nuclear disarmament. And there's this thing called the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, or the NPT Treaty. The U.S. is party to the treaty. ... It's not. Now back in 1976, Congress passed an act called the International Secu- Oh my god, what was it? International Security Assistance and Arms Export Control Act, which prohibits the U.S. from sending aid to nuclear-armed states that are not part of the NPT, or the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. And for a long time, the U.S.'s way of getting around that was to pretend that Israel did not have nuclear weapons, but they do, and obviously in the last couple of months we've seen quite a few acknowledgments of that from representatives of the state of Israel. But yeah, the more you know.
