Recently it was announced that the US will send more military aid to Israel to help feed their blood lust.
Israeli Defense Ministry announced that it secured $8.7 billion in military aid from the US to support its “ongoing military efforts,” meaning the genocidal slaughter in Gaza and Israel’s dramatic escalation in Lebanon.
The ministry said in a statement that its director-general, Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, concluded negotiations in Washington to secure the military aid. It said the package includes $3.5 billion for “essential wartime procurement” that has already been sent to Israel and a $5.2 billion grant for air defenses.
The ministry said the $5.2 billion for air defenses “will significantly strengthen critical systems such as Iron Dome and David’s Sling while supporting the continued development of an advanced high-powered laser defense system currently in its later stages of development.”
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin vowed Thursday that the US would continue arming Israel and brushed off the idea of the US setting red lines. “We’ve been committed from the very beginning to help Israel, provide the things that are necessary for them to be able to protect their sovereign territory and that hasn’t changed and won’t change in the future,” he said.

The day after the amazing aid package Israel invades Lebanon….
The Israeli military announced early Tuesday morning that its ground invasion of Lebanon has started, confirming earlier reports that Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers were operating on the ground inside Lebanon.
The IDF said its troops are conducting “limited, localized, and targeted ground raids” against Hezbollah targets in southern Lebanon as Israeli airstrikes continue across the country. The ground raid comes after a week of heavy Israeli airstrikes that have killed over 1,000 people, including many civilians.
While the Biden administration has claimed it wants a ceasefire in Lebanon, it is supportive of the Israeli invasion and said it was informed of the plan. A US official told The Times of Israel that the administration has accepted Israel’s goal of removing Hezbollah positions from near its northern border but is concerned Israeli forces could get bogged down in Lebanon.
Some US officials are unhappy with President Biden’s backing for Israel’s escalations, with one telling HuffPostthat the US was permitting “a nihilistic regional murder spree.”

The US and Biden has done its part to make sure that the war keeps the pocket of the War Department contractors filled.
Just in case all the aid package is not enough Biden will send troops to defend Israel….
The Pentagon said Monday that the US is sending a “few thousand” additional troops to the Middle East to bolster security and prepare to defend Israel if needed, The Associated Press has reported.
The deployment will include squadrons of F-15, F-16, F-22, and A-10 fighter jets and the personnel needed to support them. The squadrons were initially set to deploy to the Middle East so that other fighter jets could rotate out, but now they will all stay to increase US air power.
The day before the announcement, President Biden was asked if he would be sending more troops to the Middle East and replied, “No.”

I am tired of this stupid sh*t!
Let Israel fend for itself….it has treated Palestinians like sh*t to decades…. time for them to act like a f*cking civilized nation.
Then came this word…..The Israeli military said Tuesday that missiles were fired at Israel from Iran, and air raid sirens are sounding across Israel.
All the US is doing in the Middle East is fueling and funding this obscene war….and sadly it will continue no matter who wins the damn election.

Interesting Post.
Your perspective on U.S. military aid to Israel is understandable, especially given the complex and often tragic nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, it’s important to consider several points that may offer a broader context to this situation.
While frustration with U.S. foreign policy is valid, advocating for a balanced approach that seeks to protect lives and promote peace is essential. Engaging in dialogue and understanding the broader implications of military aid can lead to more effective solutions than simply advocating for withdrawal.
A balanced approach? We must not read the same reports. chuq
All my post are interesting. chuq
I read that British RAF aircraft ‘supported Israel’ by shooting down some of the Iranian missiles. So now we are involved directly in this sorry war without even being asked, or even tacit approval sought from parliament. Disgraceful.
Best wishes, Pete.
I believe the US had a hand as well….it is disgusting. chuq
The younger generations does not feel the same about Israel as older people do.. US policy will change as they get more power. Biden and his group are pretty hard core. This year’s elections may change enough seats in congress to make a difference. And we don’t know for sure what Harris will do if she gets in the White House. Or Trump either.
What is it that makes any Israeli actions acceptable? chuq
Israel’s actions have gone far beyond what is acceptable.
The Balfour statement said that they could move to Palestine as long as they did not disturb or interfere with the rights of the people living there. No actions of theirs to interfere with those rights have been, or are now, acceptable.
Israel has seldom lived up to the responsibility…..chuq
And entered into the realm of barbarity. chuq
Thanx so much I appreciate you time chuq
I got an idea…. let’s just abandon all our allies and let everybody go it on their own.
Okay John is that your answer? There is more ways to deal with the situation….but what do I know? chuq
I got an idea… let’s just cut ties with all our allies and let everybody go it on their own no matter what happens. How about that? Get rid of NATO, give Russia and China whatever they want and sit back and enjoy life for awhile. O.K.?
Ah sarcasm….don’t much care for it chuq
It isn’t sarcasm when you consider the attitudes of some people both on the ground and in the government…and that is exactly what Trump threatens to do so we might just as well get used to the fact it might become a fact of life for all of us.
