US approves $7.4bn sale of more weapons to Israel used to ravage Gaza - eviltoast
State department signs off on bombs and missiles sales that the US claims would help Israel ‘defend its borders’

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.

    I think Bernie would have been a better choice, but it wasn’t even a close race with 19 Million to 9 Million. It wasn’t even close. No amount of PAC funding can have that huge of an impact or we would have seen that disparity in the Generals as well. It was 67.85% to 32.14% if you don’t count the other candidates, a lead of 35.71%. Biden literally doubled the Bernie Sanders vote totals.

    That’s not corruption. That’s how US Citizens voted in the primaries.

      Thanks for ignoring the entirety of my response to return to the raw dumb numbers without the context. You remind me of people who post crime statistics of Black Americans to try to prove a racist point. Don’t bother replying if you’re just going to ignore the counterargument.
