US approves $7.4bn sale of more weapons to Israel used to ravage Gaza

[industrystandard@lemmy.world]

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.

axis of evil and has been. you vote democrat, you vote republican, you vote for genocide. simple as.

[mrkawfee@lemmy.world]

The US and Israel are cartoon villains at this point.

[darkfuture@lemmy.world]

Yeah, because all things are equal. At least to simpletons.

[darkfuture@lemmy.world]

B...b...but the Democrats are genociders so I didn't vote or voted 3rd party to help the Palestinians.

Did I help? Did I help them? Does this help them?

I imagine they’re fortifying against Iran, or God knows who else they’re pissing off.

Think the Democrats would build Gaza a Lago?

Good on the AFP for being willing to put the critical context in the headline instead of just trying to present bland data.

At this point you're becoming walking textbook trolley problems.

Sometimes you have to choose the lesser evil, and you did good in the difference.

While I don’t disagree, I feel like we need to talk more about how disconnected the Democratic Party is from what their base actually wants. Them being diet republicans ain’t cutting it

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

But you do realize that trump is much much much much worse, right? It’s not just about the genocide, you know.

[arbiter@lemmy.world]

No, they’d just quietly fund the Israeli plan for the same result.

[noneofurbusiness@fedia.io]

To some people the genocide overshadows anything else because... Y'know, it is/was a genocide. Telling those people that "it's not just about the genocide" is, frankly, barking up the wrong tree.

[ohstopyellingatme@lemmy.world]

“Yeah we got a genocide but at least we don’t have a genocide!”

[inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world]

True. But at the same time you're not going to get any of that by not voting and letting Republicans get elected. I mean get you butts out there and primary these centrist lead weights.

[papertowels@lemmy.one]

How about the start of two genocides?
