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.

    There was one shot at helping the people of Palestine, that was the Democrats.

    They refused to listen to voters and instead took in billions of lobbying from Zionists.

    The only blame lies solely on Kamala and her greed. Imagine thinking stopping Trump was less important than making money.

      I wonder if you will keep rehashing the election even as people are being loaded into boxcars?

      “I told you trans people to vote third party, but you had to vote for Kamala, didn’t you? Bye-bye!”

        It certainly seems that way on .world lately.

        I knew what the comments were going to be in this thread before I even opened it.

          They think there will be another legitimate election and I don’t know why they think that in the face of the mountain of evidence that America is now a fascist one-party state with that party being above the law.

            Yeah, you probably saw the article yesterday about the head of the FEC. They tried to fire her and of course Musk is trying to get into all of those systems.

            The only way the US is going to ever have fair elections again is after a lot of bloodshed. And possibly restructuring as a new nation.

            Federal IT is basically fucked. The whole system would need to be replaced to get rid of all of the back doors Musk is installing.

            Elections are over. Gtfo or figure out how to stay safe if you have to (I’m in the later camp, can’t afford to move and hard to get a passport anyway being trans)

              I’m so sorry. I was able to get out with my daughter, who is gay, for that reason. I really hope you can be safe. I really worry about you and all of the other queer people in America and I wish I could do something.

                The US is over. I hope my state and those near us have the balls to secede and form Cascadia. I’d volunteer to fight if needed.

        I wonder if you will ever stop blaming voters for a party so shit they let Trump win.

          I will never stop blaming the party, the candidate, the people who refused to vote to stop the fascist and the people who did not vote at all.

          Unlike you, apparently, I think there is plenty of blame to go around because I do not view the world in black-and-white terms.

          But more importantly, I could not give less of a fuck anymore. It already happened. Months ago. It’s over. Move on to the problems of now. I understand it’s fun fun fun to argue about the election, but the election is over.
