Biden administration is sending $1 billion more in weapons, ammo to Israel, congressional aides say

The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday.

It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer — consisting of 3,500 bombs — on hold this month. The administration has said it paused that earlier transfer to keep Israel from using the bombs in its growing offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah.

selokichtli,

We should start recognizing this genocide as an Israel and the USA one, not only Israel’s.

Squizzy,

The people do, what makes it so much worse and really shows the monstrousness of the USA is that there was a palestinian teenager making music about his family amd life in an open air prison, occupied territory troubles and the like and he got picked up by a US music label and is there making music now. The US enabled his country to fall to shit only to then profit off his art he makes talking about how awful his life is amd how many cousins he has lost to Israeli aggresion.

Pure microcosm but it is heartbreaking what the US gets away with.

givesomefucks,

I am shocked Biden went back on his word so quickly…

Moonrise2473,

Unfortunately there’s still not enough proof of genocide, according to the military complex

Viking_Hippie,

There never will be, of course. Israel could nuke the entire Middle East including themselves and the politicians that rely on the MIC for bribes would do no more than wag a finger 😮‍💨

nondescripthandle,

As long as someones left to buy the bombs they’re selling, they don’t mind who or how many die.

meanwhile in the US, the government can’t seem to find the money for continued funding of the ACP, a program providing internet and mobile services to the poorest people in the country, in a world where connectivity is pretty crucial to functioning in society

Tinidril,

Austerity programs in the US have nothing to do with saving the government money. It’s literally the goal to make life worse for working Americans, this making them more subservient to employers.

Ben-Gvir: It’s time for a true solution to Gaza.

Biden:
