The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The transaction, which would amount to the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since the country went to war with Hamas on October 7, comes as the administration is also expected to notify Congress soon of a large new sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Israel, the people said.

The new sales of some of the US’ most sophisticated weaponry underscore the extent to which the US continues to support Israel militarily, even as Biden administration officials criticize Israel’s operations in Gaza, which have killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since October, according to the Gaza ministry of health.

    The other guy will dismantle democracy while doing a genocide. So yeah, short of overthrowing the government, voting for a genocidal fossil is the best we got.

          If dealing with reality means supporting genocide, I’ll stay in the fantasy. Enjoy being a genicide apologist.

              Who said I wasn’t voting? In fact I recall explicitly saying somewhere in this comment chain how I was voting.

                I assume what you said means you’re voting third party, and that’s materially indistinct from not voting.

                  Considering there’s more than one race on a ballot and ballot initiatives, only an idiot would think that’s the same as not voting.
