US Has Sent Israel Over 600 Weapons Shipments Since October

The U.S. has sent nearly two shipments of weapons to Israel on average every day since it began its genocide in Gaza on October 7, according to new figures from the Israeli military.

This represents over 50,000 tons of military equipment, the military said, or over 150 tons of equipment per day as Israel relentlessly slaughters Palestinians and their children in Gaza and the occupied West Bank. This includes equipment like armored vehicles, munitions and ammunition.

The latest figures are yet another show of the astonishing amount of weapons sent by the Biden administration to aid in Israel’s genocide. The U.S. has sent Israel billions in military assistance and funding to procure U.S.-made weapons; just last week, the U.S. approved a whopping $20 billion sale of weapons to Israel as it threatens war across the Middle East.

Pro-Palestine activists in the U.S. have, for months, been demanding that officials stop sending weapons to Israel. Public opinion polls have repeatedly shown that the majority of Americans think that the U.S. should stop sending weapons.
