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.

For the record Biden is now doing this against the will of the American people. We want this war stopped. Also, these deliveries are illegal under the Leahy Law. It does not matter if congress appropriated money and authorized them, the Leahy law will not release the weapons if there are credible accusations of war crimes. Which is why the State Department is brazenly claiming there's no evidence.
They are fully counting on American's distaste of Trump to get Biden re-elected at this point. We need to show them that's not a blank check.
How do we do that?
Don't vote.
For Biden.
Vote 3rd party because it's more insulting lol
