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

which the dems were also blocking
Which the dems were what? Israel ramped up operations in the West Bank during the war if you remember that. Also at least 200 thousand Gazans have died my man at least wait until something (and no, Trump saying horrible things doesn't qualify) happens before you say "worse than what was happening under the dems".
Blocking. They didn’t ramp them up til the level they’re at now until Trump got in for a reason. Adelson didn’t pay 150m for nothing you twat
Blocking. They didn’t ramp them up til the level they’re at now until Trump got in for a reason.
They did, though. What are they doing now rhat they didn't during the war?
Intensified its activities in the West Bank, including accelerating settlement expansion, legalising previously unauthorised outposts, and conducting large-scale military operations. Operation Iron Wall was launched, and now they’re aiming for full legal annexation.
Trump has lifted sanctions, reversed blocks, and given them the green light to ramp it up to 11.
What exactly do you think Adelson paid for?
Intensified its activities in the West Bank, including accelerating settlement expansion, legalising previously unauthorised outposts, and conducting large-scale military operations.
So business as usual then? Lemme just quote the Wikipedia page on the war:
West Bank:[h]
905 killed[11][33][34] 7,370+ wounded[11][34] 14,300+ detained

Do you have some inherent deficiency that makes it impossible to see nuance? In another world you'd be MAGA.
No, not business as usual, as I explained.
Do you have some inherent deficiency that makes it impossible to see nuance?
My God... The irony.
How is that ironic? You are failing to grasp the nuance in difference between Kamala and Trump.
In terms of Palestine, the only difference is what they would say out loud.
Then why did Adelson pay trump 150m? Why did the tactics in the west bank ramp up only after the election? You think Kamala was going to carve up and auction off the gaza strip?
Neolibs and Fascists can both be bad but there is a difference. Again, nuance.
Do you have a source with numbers backing up your claims?
My claims weren't based on numbers but policy changes. The numbers will reflect them with time. Just getting started.
