The Biden administration in recent days quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington’s concerns about an anticipated military offensive in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, according to Pentagon and State Department officials familiar with the matter. The 2,000 pound bombs have been linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. These officials, like some others, spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because recent authorizations have not been disclosed publicly.
The 2,000 pound bombs, capable of leveling city blocks and leaving craters in the earth 40 feet across and larger, are almost never used anymore by Western militaries in densely populated locations due to the risk of civilian casualties.
Please explain to me at this point how anyone could be worse than biden in this conflict?
Sorry, I am a single issue voter when it comes to genocide.
I’m not one to defend Genocide Joe, but don’t think for a minute that someone else (or even Joe himself) couldn’t be worse. Our policy could be way worse. I haven’t yet decided whether I can stomach voting for Biden in the absence of a meaningful alternative, but I won’t pretend that there aren’t more hellish roads to tread here.
Check this guy’s post history.
Yeah I had to make an account to voice my anger about seeing ‘no no but trump’. Like the audacity to think trump could somehow be worse on this issue. Fuck biden for this. Trump can fuck off too but he isnt in power and im not voting someone into office over this. And this issue is all I think about on a daily basis. Friends and family getting bombed out by Israel and you expect me to say exactly what you want.
