Scoop: U.S. put a hold on an ammunition shipment to Israel
Axios ^

Posted on 05/05/2024 8:40:49 AM PDT by janetjanet998

The Biden administration last week put a hold on a shipment of U.S.-made ammunition to Israel, two Israeli officials told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the first time since the Oct. 7 attack that the U.S. has stopped a weapons shipment intended for the Israeli military. The incident raised serious concerns inside the Israeli government and sent officials scrambling to understand why the shipment was held, Israeli officials said.

Kinda surprised Israel can’t make enough ammo for their needs. I’d think after supply issues dating back to their reformation as a country would have dictated a domestic supply source.

Which is why France is self-sufficent for their military needs.

It would be cheaper if they buy it directly from the U.S. and just buy NATO standard.

But they know they cannot be truly independent if they have to depend on the Americans for the arms.

They actually have steel mini mills. They have iron ore, but don’t mine it.

There is copper ore in the Tinma area, but mining has been closed for environmental reasons.

For military purposes the critical requirements are oil production, steel production, grain supply. Then steel alloying elements and aluminum and copper.

I think Israel’s critical weakness is grain supply, They are self-sufficient in food, but depend on grain imports for animal feed.

“civilian infrastructure like hospitals and schools”

Do you even read the news in which ham ass stages military operations from hospitals and schools, making them legitimate military targets? I can bring you 20 separate incidents in 20 minutes. Probably 60 in an hour.

You really should try to keep up with the news.

“ Yeah I’m America first what else do you need to know.”

You’re a liar. That’s known for sure.

Are you Muslim?

They do have a robust supply. I suppose it it’s a lot of ammo.

I guess OBiden doesn’t really read his Bible, especially Genesis 12. This nation will further tank because of his continued betrayal of Israel.

Was this the aid just approved by Congress? Didn’t they impeach Trump for holding up aid for Ukraine approved by Congress ?

Spare us the “moral equivalency” doctrine of Jimmy Carter and the need for international affirmation like Obama.

We didn’t lose Africa because of Israel and giving Israel over to the so called Palestinians will not win the US a single ally. We lose allies because we abandon them when the going gets tough and because we impose a twisted moral and green agenda on them.

Israel is an indispensable ally deep in hostile territory. Christian Zionism or not doesn’t change the equation.
