“ At least 26,422 Palestinians have been killed and 65,087 injured by Israeli counterstrikes since October 7, the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry said Sunday.”

Too bad these numbers are completely made up. I’m in favor of increasing them by a factor of at least ten.

“ They need to make their own ammo.”

IMI makes some fine 5.56mm ammunition. Enough, in fact, to sell it here.

Firstly, Biden has far more ethics than that. Second, he’d cause the mass defeat j oh f almost all D candidates at election time. He’s not that stupid. This is utter rubbish fake news or wishful thinking from a far leftist foreign power known for publishing such unchecked or misleading propaganda

Does Israel have any attack aircraft not built by the USA? It’s true that Israel makes some advanced modifications on them.

And it’s true that the US is increasingly dependent on Israeli high tech and intelligence. Not at all the relationship as when the US started supplying weapons to Israel after the ‘67 War.

It will be rather difficult for any govt to pressure Israel into “negotiating,”
since Israel has munitions and weaponry to destroy Hamas entirely on their own.

There’s Biden’s 2023 arms handout to Israel:
<><>57,000 155mm artillery shells
<><>more than 5,000 Mk82 unguided or “dumb” bombs,
<><>more than 5,400 Mk84 2,000 pound warhead bombs,
<><>around 1,000 GBU-39 small diameter bombs,
<><>approximately 3,000 JDAMs, which turn unguided bombs into guided “smart” bombs,
<><>BLU-109 bunker busters w/ 2,000 pound warheads designed to penetrate concrete shelters.

There’s Obama’s $38 billion deal that covers fiscal years 2019-2028 that includes:
<><>-annual US payments to Israel of $3.3 billion in “military financing,”
<><>-$500 million a year for Israel’s missile defense operations in the Negev, a foreign aid first,
<><>-A phasing-out of Israel’s decades-long “special arrangement”
<><>ie. Israel used 26.3% of US aid on its own global defense industry (not on US-made weapons).
<><>-Eliminates Israel using some 13% of US aid to buy military fuel.
<><>-will allow Israel to update “the lion’s share” of its fighter aircraft,
<><>includes purchasing additional F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.
<><>Israel is to initially receive thirty-three F-35 aircraft,
<><>the first two F-35’s will be delivered in December.

The (a) weaponry build-up from Obama 2018 into 2028, (b) follows the $30 billion weaponry deal Israel signed in 2007, which expires at the end of fiscal 2018, and (c) a systematic buildup of Israeli arms, like this one in 2015.

ISRAEL – JOINT DIRECT ATTACK MUNITION TAIL KITS AND MUNITIONS
Defense Security Cooperation Agency
Media/Public Contact
pm-cpa@state.gov
Transmittal No 15-36

WASHINGTON, May 19, 2015
As required by US law, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale to Israel on May 18, 2015: Joint Direct Attack Munition Tail Kits, munitions, and associated equipment, parts and logistical support for an estimated cost of $1.879 billion.

The Government of Israel has requested:
<><>14,500 KMU-556C/B Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) tail kits
<><>consisting of 10,000 for Mk-84;
<><>500 for Mk-83;
<><>and,4,000 for Mk-82;
<><>3,500 Mk-82 bombs; 4,500 Mk-83 bombs;
<><>50 BLU-113 bombs;
<><>4,100 GBU-39 Small Diameter bombs;
<><>1,500 Mk-83 Paveway kits;
<><>700 BLU-109 Paveway kits;
<><>3,000 AGM-114K/R Hellfire Missiles,
<><>250 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles;
<><>and 500 DSU-38A/B Detector Laser Illuminated Target kits for JDAMs.

The proposed sale of this equipment will provide Israel
<><>the ability to support its self-defense needs
<><>enable Israel to maintain operational capability of its existing systems
<><>and will enhance Israel’s interoperability with the United States.

Israel already has these munitions in its inventory, and will have no difficulty absorbing the additional munitions into its armed forces.

All questions regarding this proposed Foreign Military Sale should be directed to the State Department’s Bureau of Political Military Affairs, Office of Congressional and Public Affairs, pm-cpa@state.gov.

“Nearly as I can tell there are no innocent Gazans. They voted Hamas in, never opposed them, and are not turning on them.”

Nearly as I can tell there are no innocent Americans. They voted Biden in, never opposed him, and are not turning on him, not even enough to have a real insurrection even though there is an invasion.

At the minimum 10x as many people have died because of the war in the Ukraine.

This is exactly why nations are afraid to become too dependent on the US for military sales, even though the alternatives are so inferior in quality. The US never fails to meddle and threaten a cutoff of arms to suit the needs of domestic US politics, regardless of the impact on our allies.

Israel is doing what it must to eliminate Hamas as a threat once and for all - to do any less would be unpardonable irresponsibility and an invitation to self-destruction. Biden wants Netanyahu to lay off Hamas anyway because the leftist radicals in the Democrat Party are demanding it.

So Joe Biden is going to betray Israel?

Aborts the unborn, promotes Sodom and Gomorrah

BRILLIANT plan Joe...... WHAT could possibly go wrong?


Revelation 20:12-15
King James Version

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the Book of Life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and Death and Hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

14 And Death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire. This is the second death.

15 And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the Lake of Fire.

Just like the British tried to do during the mandate years and they ended up despised by both sides.

Welcome to the obamian death to America.
Israel is our canary in the democracy mine.

They need not throttle the munitions.
If Israel runs out, then they’ll open up a can of whup ass which will be very hard to contain.
Best be feeding them conventional weapons so their strategy stays on course.
