      These are the guys “confirming” all of israel’s claims about whatever the fuck is happening in Gaza. No wonder Biden misspoke about seeing the 40 beheaded babies, he was under the impression he had to “yes yes yes” everything else they had said and would say, so why not that too. With israel disallowing any independent third parties in to verify anything (wouldn’t want a repeat of Shireen Abu Akleh) and murdering journalists like there’s no tomorrow, this is supposed to be our fake third party verification too.

    The United States is simply three weapons manufactures in a trench coat appearing as a government. I will keep saying this until even I’m tired of hearing it.

    1. Lack of transparency is anti democratic.
    2. This is the truth behind Biden’s tut-tutting about thousands of dead Palestinian children. Spouting platitudes while fueling the slaughter. Grotesque and hypocritical

    The House split off $14.3 billion in Israel military aid — including the $3.5 billion FMF request and the waiver language — into a separate bill tied to cuts in IRS funding, which Biden says he will veto.

    I don’t get it. The FMF bill is split into another bill which Biden says he will veto, even though it’s coming from the white house? Not American so I don’t know the process of passing bills there. Can anyone clear it up?

    unilaterally blanket-approve the future sale of military equipment and weapons—like ballistic missiles and artillery ammunition — to Israel without notifying Congress

    That is standard. Congress can and does get this information from the DOD.
