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 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!”

      The Democrats seemed quite fine with risking Trans people to be loaded into boxcars. Also many people immediately lasged out at ethnic minorities and queer people for not supporting the Democrats as strongly.

      For the DNC they only got some considerations, when they were useful for power. Now that they didnt grant it, they got tossed aside.

      Case in point all the D-Representatives now helping to vote Trump officials into elected government positions.

        I guess the answer is yes, you will keep rehashing the election even as people are being loaded into boxcars.

          I think the way forward is to get away from both Republicans and Democrats and bring people into power, who are not part of either. Going back to the Democrats is not going to make things better again. Another example for that is the migration and deportation policies of Biden, which were mostly a continuation of Trumps policies.
