State department signs off on bombs and missiles sales that the US claims would help Israel ‘defend its borders’

The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.

The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

    I didn’t realize there were only two countries with politicians you could contract or that there were any you could contact in those countries about using their ability to talk to the media (an ability that you presumably don’t have) about the genocide. Or any genocide.

    Or even just join a human rights campaign. They have very public websites. I guess those websites are banned in Japan. And that VPNs are also banned if they are.

    My mistake. Do go on endlessly talking about an election that happened a month ago and pretending there’s absolutely nothing you could do.
