minus-square@Blue_Morpho@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year ago Meanwhile, Biden has just bypassed congress to send more money to Israel to help them with their genocide.

minus-square@Burn_The_Right@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish1•1 year agoOn a normal year, we give Israel $4 Billion. That’s in a normal year, without a genocide to support. That’s not a loan. It’s a gift. Year after year. Whose money do you suppose is being used to “buy” our weapons? Is that really what you would call a “purchase”?
