Trump plans to lift the Biden administration’s freeze on supplying 2,000-pound bombs to Israel and reverse sanctions against Israeli settlers.

    He blocked the 2,000 lb. bombs and the 500 lb. bombs. Then he lifted the restriction on the 500 lb. bombs.

      I thought he slightly delayed one shipment? At one point I recall Biden removing the restriction as well. I am genuinely wondering whether there was even still a restriction on 2000 pound bombs since Biden recently sent another 8 billion in bombs to Israel.

        This was exactly the point of him doing it like this. Notice your confusion on the specifics. People hear about the restriction, but not the lifting. Creates a fog of ambiguity, US media doesn’t report on the actual arm shipment statistics, Democrats get the illusion he’s actually doing something good. Meanwhile, the bombs he sent were enough to demolish Gaza - and did. Already. I think the last statistic was “88% destroyed”, though that’s from memory.

          88% destroyed is such a weird ass nazi dog whistle. Not about you, just ironic. Of course it’s 88%.

            Gotta be something in between 87 and 89. I don’t know, that was the last stat I heard ~yesterday morning.

                Because you’re calling that statistic a Nazi dog whistle, and that means you’re saying it’s fake / fabricated and pro-Nazi propaganda somehow. It may not be what you intended, but it is the meaning of the phrasing you used.

                  Definitely not the intention at all. It’s ironic. Of course the zionazis would destroy 88%.
