March 27th - Israel uses US supplied bombs to illegally attack Southern Lebanon, killing seven aid workers: hrw.org/…/israel-us-arms-used-strike-killed-leban… April 2nd, Biden reportedly “outraged” over the attack that killed seven members of World Central Kitchen. reuters.com/…/white-house-outraged-by-israeli-air… Now he’s saying no, we aren’t giving you weapons for Rafa. The last thing he wants is more dead civilians with US supplied bombs.
