This is being touted in the media as a foreign policy victory for Joe Biden.
“The Biden administration’s $753 million smart bomb package for Israel includes a little-known weapon—one quarter the size of Israel’s current main smart bomb—that Pentagon sources think could calm critics of Israel’s bombing.
The State Department notification, sent to Congress on May 5, is classified, but Newsweek has learned that in justifying the new sale of this Small Diameter Bomb (SDB), the administration stated that the “size and accuracy of the SDB I allows for an effective munition with less collateral damage.
“In the latest conflict, Israeli strikes have killed more than 200 militants including 25 senior commanders, said Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the AP reported. The Islamic Jihad militant group and Hamas dispute that figure. The Gaza Health Ministry says at least 243 Palestinians have been killed, including 66 children; it does not distinguish militants from civilians. In Israel, 12 people were killed, 11 of them civilians including a 5-year-old boy and 16-year-old girl. …”
Both groups should be deported, neither belong here. This is not our fight, a pox on both their houses.
BTW, $725 million USD or whatever number is being quoted as the cost to replenish “Our Greatest Ally’s” American made munitions and fuel is not the correct number.
A quick digression on mathematics here, specifically the topic of rounding up or down a number.
The regular rules of mathematics don’t apply to “Our Greatest Ally’s” wishes, hopes and demands.
$725 million USD is automatically rounded up to $1 billion USD which is how much “Our Greatest Ally” will end up with, gratis, courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer because, ya know, $1 billion USD is pretty close to $725 million USD so why the Hell not just round it up? Am I rite? Also, this number doesn’t count towards annual appropriations, this is “special”.
Why the fuck don’t people Like Herr Bloomberg, Lloyd Blankfein, Mark Cuban, Gary Cohn and a cast of thousands shake the loose change from their sofa cushions and pay for this foreign aid? They can afford it more than the beset American taxpayer who has no choice in the matter. Those billionaire scumbags would never even miss the money, it’s pocket change to them.
Just add that to the billions the terrorist state of Israel gets from the US govt to oppress, genocide and kill a people they hate.
It is only a matter of time before Iran supplies Hamas with precision guide munitions. You know it is coming and the kykes know it too.
Yep. I was watching the “Iron Dome” footage. Basically fireworks for the sheeples. This is Israel’s Stalingrad. I see no reason for Arabs to show a shred of mercy either. 6 months ago our rulers looked invincible. I have to give the Muz credit for keeping a low profile and being patient. Looks like they will have their moment shortly.
Who thought it was a good idea to dump millions of Jews smack dab in the Middle East among Sunni Muslims and Sharia law? That seems like a recipe for disaster.
Gen. George Marshall thought it was a very bad idea and strongly opposed Truman’s recognition of ‘Israel’. Even Churchill thought it was a bad idea. But the Jews had bribed enough corrupt politicians on both sides of the Atlantic to support the Jewish entity in Palestine.
