S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is in Israel on Friday for meetings with senior government leaders and to see firsthand some of the U.S. weapons and security assistance that Washington rapidly delivered to Israel in the first week of its war with the militant Hamas group.

Austin is the second high-level U.S. official sent by President Joe Biden to visit Israel in two days. His quick trip from Brussels, where he was attending a NATO defense ministers meeting, came a day after Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in the region. Blinken is continuing the frantic Mideast diplomacy, seeking to avert an expanded regional conflict.

        Is that what the “Palestinians” did when they came by force? Idiot

        Can we get a list of what isn’t genocide these days?

        I get a feeling the only thing on it is “give Israel to the Palestinians.”

          The definition as outlined in Article II has not changed in almost a century since it was invented.
