The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
Where’s all the idiots who wouldn’t vote “for genocide” at?
Was it more important for liberals and Kamala to lose the election than stand for Palestine?
How much did Biden send to Israel?
They didn’t want to participate in warcrimes.
Here waiting for you to stop infighting and join us in the real world.
It’s very exiting to chase random Jewish students on campuses and chant Genocide Joe than to apply critical thinking that may induce an headache.
It’s like Trump’s plans were secret.

Are you saying voters shouldn’t be shocked? I think many Christians are indifferent at best and complicit at worst. If some Muslims hadn’t sat out the election or voted Stein, would it have made a difference? It seemed like Trump was voted in by a landslide because average middle class people hate inflation and Biden was quasi-gaslighting people with CPI inflation statistics that include decreased smart TV prices and RAM costs as well as increased rent and food at similar weights that doesn’t reflect what hurts consumers most while failing to reassure the public that yes, it was a problem, and that he was trying to do something. For about 2 years there was a major problem with nothing done by Biden. He was going to get voted out and Kamela Harris, who was in power and could have galvanized some sort of policy instead of doing nothing for 2 years was going to get voted out. They failed the public in a very important way and pretended the inflation problem wasn’t bad. It upset people, even Democrats and liberals, and lost them almost all of the moderate vote.
The economy sucks globally. The US president can’t fix the inflation. People are suffering economically everywhere.
We had a pandemic, world order is breaking down with Iran China and Russia leading the charge and on top of that climate change is accelerating.
It’s going to get much, much worse very quickly, and picking Trump will make things worse. The president can’t reduce the inflation, but he can fuck things even farther.
Right, but Biden failed in his communications with people.
He said it wasn’t that bad. That wasn’t reassuring.
Even if soil problems and climate change are leading to crop reductions, and if that’s the real issue, along with increasing the money supply, telling Americans “eh, it’s not that bad everything looks fine based on the CPI” was an epic fail for a President.
His strategy may have been the best option, although that’s doubtful, as I can think of various policies that would have reassured people without altering the money supply and am familiar with classical economic theories, but he failed to make people feel like he saw their pain. It was terrible politics from Biden, who is usually great at this stuff, and he failed at this because he was never in charge before and could rely on his extreme likability while in lower offices. I’m not denying Biden’s intellect, he was tremendously smart and presumably still is, but he screwed up his messaging with the public.
Why was it more important for Kamala to continue the genocide than to win over those non-voters?
How much did Joe send every year?
How much military aid did we send to Israel under Biden? And Kamala was different from him, how? How many UN motions were vetoed by a Democrat administration to prolong the genocide? I ate shit and voted for Democrats again, but there was never anyone to vote for that wasn’t going to support the genocide of Palestinians.
Way too much
Biden stopped sending bombs and artillery that was being used to level Gaza.
Those are the exact weapons Trump is starting to send again.
Stop trying to equivocate. Trump is significantly worse for Gaza than Biden or Harris.
I wish your fantasy world existed, but it doesnt
The Russian bots still have it out for Biden.
Neoliberals still have a hard on for genocide Joe.
You live in a dream world. Biden didn’t stop anything except UN resolutions against Israel’s genocide.
You see it was impossible to take a nuanced position and vote for the lesser of two evils.
But they can claim moral superiority, and we all know that’s what’s most important when it comes down to it.
I’m so glad that your choice allowed you to claim moral superiority.
So far the bigger evil has secured a working ceasefire and people aren’t dying to those bombs at the moment. Which is infinitely better than “genocide is ongoing”.
The ceasefire was in the works and fully implemented before the Cheeto didn’t place his hand on the Bible
Let’s not start twisting history. The ceasefire came directly after the Trump envoy. Giving any credit for it to Biden is insane cope.
It’s the ceasefire Biden’s team that nearly got accepted until Trump phoned up his pal Netanyahu to tell him not to do it until he got elected.
The ceasefire agreement was the exact same as it was in October when it was rejected. And not by Palestine. Trump sent envoys a month before the Gaza ceasefire happened. This isn’t Biden who got it.
Yeah, Biden negotiated that.
Steve Witkoff negotiated it.
Yup
Imagine saying that line unironically. Serious Nazi vibes here at .world.
Imagine killing over forty thousand vs under two thousand and calling people who opposed the slaughter of thousands of women and babies Nazis? Go to hell.
Are you the same loser that says this under every post?
This same infighting comment in every single thread.
No, but that’s a good idea.
