The Trump administration has asked congressional leaders to approve a new $1 billion weapons transfer to Israel that will be funded by US military aid, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday. The deal includes 4,700 1,000-pound bombs worth more than $700 million and $300 million worth of armored bulldozers,…

Israeli officials suggested that the increased military aid was part of a deal to get Netanyahu to agree to the Gaza ceasefire deal. Trump’s envoy for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, has said he’s pushing for the full implementation of the agreement, but the ceasefire is very fragile as Netanyahu doesn’t want to implement the second phase.

    I’m not imagining anything. I am basing my decisions on what Trump has said!

    As ever, BlueMAGA shitlibs care more about what politicians say than what they do. The lives of foreigners aren’t nearly as important to them as decorum and plausible deniability, after all!

    It isn’t that the genocide doesn’t matter to me.

    Actually it is, as evidenced by the fact that you only care when Trump does it. (Or says it, we’ve already established you care more about rhetoric than actions.).

    ending the war

    You mean the genocide.

    So I based my decision on other issues, like LGBT rights, immigrant rights, abortion access, not wrecking the economy with tariff stupidity, etc

    Turns out, that imperial boomerang always comes home.
