We don't "supply" it, we sell it.

In this context, I take "supply" to be a verb that means "give to".
This differs from "sell to".

And, in "supply and demand", "supply" is a noun that refers to a commodity.

No ****ing ****. Wow...color me surprised. That's why we supplied the bombs to Israel, and we should not be supplying military hardware to Israel. We provide it, that's supplying. This is a stupid rhetoric game you're trying to play for some reason. We should not supply military hardware to Israel, which includes giving it or selling it to them. We should not provide military hardware to Israel.

Get the burr out of your butt.

There's no reason we shouldnt be selling weapons to Israel or any of our other allies.
