Washington is sending its fascist puppets in Tel Aviv another $8.7 billion in military supplies. Snip:

Israel said on 26 September it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the US government to support its ongoing military assaults on Lebanon and Gaza and to maintain a "qualitative military edge in the region," Reuters reported on 26 September.

[...]

Reuters reported in late June that Tel Aviv's allies in Washington had sent more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles since the start of the war in Gaza last October.

The news agency added that Washington had transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions.

This goddamn awful country built on settler colonial genocide can’t freaking help support another just like it.

I’m beside myself with impotent rage.

Genocide might be the shittiest religion.

Showing up to the DC bank with a fake mustache and a nametag that says "Israel" and a giant novelty check for $40 billion

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

You’re not murderous enough. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

[-] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 16 points 4 days ago

Sorry, Israel already has a guy named Israel as their foreign minister so this loophole is closed.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Yes, but I am the guy named Israel that the foreign minister of Israel named Israel sends to pick up the checks made out to Israel.

[-] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 37 points 4 days ago

Another genocide package. Awesome. Under the Dems too. What an abhorrent country.

I lost count, we at what? $70 BN to the "israeli" entity since last October?

Infinite DF-41s on AmeriKKKa

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 days ago

Considering over 100 aid packages have been sent that don't meet the congressional review threshold, making them public knowledge, how could you know?

Can't hold them accountable for war crimes if they don't have to tell you they contributed...

[-] peeonyou@hexbear.net 34 points 4 days ago

someone called that like 2 days ago when they were talking about how many hundreds of millions of dollars it cost israel to try to shoot down the rockets that hezbollah launched in retaliation for the Israeli terror bombings in Beirut

[-] lemmyseizethemeans@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 4 days ago

Good thing the war in ukraine is still going on. Any western weapon that gets blown up by russia is a weapon that can't be sent to the middle east

[-] wild_dog@hexbear.net 14 points 4 days ago

yeah but the longer the war in Ukraine goes, the closer we get to nuclear war

War is good for business, and the American economy. GDP about to go up again.

[-] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 9 points 4 days ago
