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.

    So the same as Biden but liberals have a selective memory.

    Here’s a few articles to remind the intentionally forgetful liberals:

    March 2024 U.S. sends more weapons to Israel amid growing calls for cease-fire

    June 2024 US has sent Israel thousands of 2,000-pound bombs since Oct. 7

    Anyways keep going mask off. Good luck getting any of us to vote Democratic ever again. It is clearly isn’t just a few Democratic politicians who are bad, it is the entire party base that’s a basket of deplorables to quote a prominent Democrat.

      So let’s say this issue is a push… Now how about EVERY OTHER FUCKING THING HAPPENING?

      STOP trying to draw a false equivalency between the two paths we had available to us.

        You will not find a more peaceful and just society on the paths presented by the oligarchy.

        You will have to remove both machinations of the oligarchy from power.

      Then I guess there should have been other reasons to stop Trump from getting into office.

      Good luck getting any of us to vote Democratic ever again.

      You still think Republicans will have elections that aren’t the kind they have in Russia.

      Amazing how many people still think America still works by the rules.
