The Biden administration has told key lawmakers it is sending a new package of more than $1 billion in arms and ammunition to Israel, three congressional aides said Tuesday.

It’s the first arms shipment to Israel to be announced by the administration since it put another arms transfer — consisting of 3,500 bombs — on hold this month. The administration has said it paused that earlier transfer to keep Israel from using the bombs in its growing offensive in the crowded southern Gaza city of Rafah.

      1. Why are you so sure no amount of pressure from voters will ever make Biden stop funding a genocide?

      2. Do you believe he’s like this about everything or just the genocide of brown people?

      3. Why do you support a candidate for the Dem nomination who doesn’t listen to the people he needs votes from?

        1. It might but it better happen fast if he wants to gain back any protest votes.

        2. Fuck if I know. It’s tradition at this point. How far in us president history do we have to go to find a president that didn’t kill a bunch of brown people?

        3. I don’t support biden. I’ll give him credit for the good shit he did but I’m voting for him to avoid the US becoming a theocratic fascist state… Faster than it already is at least.

          Oh yes, because Christianity is so evil, it proliferated compassion across the world. It ended slavery, created Just War Theory (a moral approach to war), proliferated the concept of human rights It culturally ingrained into its followers the concept of secularism, and egalitarianism. How far the democrat party has fallen. They fear the Bible and Orange Man so much, genocide is an acceptable trade-off. You must really hate Jesus.

            It is…

            it proliferated compassion across the world

            It didn’t…

            It ended slavery

            The Bible is pro slavery…

            created Just War Theory (a moral approach to war),

            Lol

            proliferated the concept of human rights

            It supports fucking slavery and says a wife is a husband property, and sexual acts unless for reproduction is a sin and should be illegal…

            I’m not going to keep going, because I haven’t hit a truthful thing you’ve said yet.
