For the second time this month the Biden administration is bypassing Congress to approve an emergency weapons sale to Israel as Israel continues to prosecute its war against Hamas in Gaza under increasing international criticism.
I feel like I once again have to ask why? Why does Israel need these weapons so badly that you have to bypass even Congressional approval? Republicans wouldn’t exactly oppose such an approval, they haven’t shown any lack of support for supporting Israel, just Ukraine. And Israel certainly doesn’t need the weapons for defense, as claimed by the State Department in the article.
Israel is very handedly and with minimal resistance killing thousands of Palestinians. They don’t really need any additional arsenals.
Unless this is in preparation for Netanyahu’s claimed invasion of Lebanon and beyond? Is Biden openly supporting the expansion of the conflict?
I think there are two main reasons
One, support for Israel is a huge part of wasp-end-of-the-world-prophecy and has been a life-time project for many boomers that are now very elderly. They will go all in on this last push before they die
Two, Israel is an American military base located in the middle of three continents. Congress will print infinite money to maintain it and Israel knows it
The whole thing is fucked
This right here. Also, many people don’t even consider the end times, but still want us to support Israel simply because we’ve been heavily propagandized in their favor. It wasn’t until adulthood that I learned how atrocious the state of Israel is.
It’s a fucking embarrassment that he’s doing this for Israel.
It’s also a fucking embarrassment that he’s not doing this for Ukraine.
