    The new arms packages include more than 1,800 MK-84 2,000lb bombs and 500 MK-82 500lb bombs, said the sources, who confirmed a report in the Washington Post.

    Washington gives $3.8bn in annual military assistance to Israel, its longtime ally.

    Those bombs aren’t for taking out precision targets they’re dumb bombs for flattening city blocks.

          Trump was/is pro Israel as shit. Just remember Jerusalem embassy. It would be the same if not worse.

            Trump appeared pro-Israel, would put money on it all being a show for the evangelicals.

              You deduce quite a lot. Yes, both (all of recent US presidents) are pro Israel and would probably behave similarly, however, Trump could do even worse based on his personality and past deeds. I’m sure he’d find a way. Now, deducing that I’m for Biden or something and try to downplay obvious genocide enabled by US, is your 🤦‍♂️

    The best part is where we give them more F-35s. So if we did ever want to completely cut ties they’d have our latest plane technology available for the highest bidder. And they’re much better armed if the UN ever did manage to pass a binding resolution.

    They’re running the same playbook as the GOP on this one.

    • That’s not true!
    • okay it might be true but we need more evidence!
    • Oops too late to do anything about it now. I guess we just have to leave it like that. The way I always wanted it.
