#us military aid to Israel

U.S. efforts to entice Israel into minimizing its attack on Iran are only raising the chances for regional war

The Biden administration is showering Israel with military aid and support to persuade it not to hit Iran’s energy sector, but this will only increase Israeli impunity and push the region closer to war. Read more at Mondoweiss.

🇺🇸🇮🇱 🚨

UNITED STATES APPROVES BILLIONS IN MUNITIONS AND WARPLANES FOR "ISRAEL" TO CONTINUE GENOCIDE IN GAZA

The United States today approved the equivalent of $2.5 billion in military aid to the Israeli entity, a package that includes ammunition, artillery shells, massive bunker-busting bombs and more warplanes.

Even as the Biden administration claimed recently that it wants to see an end to the occupation's genocide campaign in Gaza, it sent an entirely different message in the munitions approved today.

Included in the package are 1'800 MK84 2'000lb (907kg) general purpose bombs, known to inflict casualties at distances up to 300 meters (1'000ft), along with 500 MK82 low-drag general purpose 500lb (227kg) bombs.

Once again, instead of repairing the country's own failing infrastructure, such as the collapsed Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore which fell after being hit by ship recently, the United States, led by the Biden White House chooses to send ammunition, bombs and warplanes to help the Zionist occupying power genocide the civilian population of the Gaza Strip.

Instead finding some healthy ways of dealing with American city decay, rampant crime, addiction, or the fix the broken education and healthcare systems, the United States chooses to spend billions arming the genocidal war of a foreign occupying power.

Instead of fixing the United States's out-of-control spending, creating upwards of $1 Trillion in new debt every 100 days, this White House spends billions in military and financial aid to fund imperialist wars in Gaza, fund civil wars to bleed Russia through Ukraine, bombing in Yemen and defending Israeli commerce in the Red Sea. Then there's the Military excercises around the Korean peninsula, patrolling the South China Sea, all while Israel bombs, using American weaponry, Lebanon and Syria, or arranged terrorist attacks in Iran. According to the Iranian authorities, last year's terrorist attack in Kerman was arranged by "Israel".

The United States and Israel are two rapid dogs, running amok through the world's neighborhood, randomly killing people and the entire neighborhood is doing it's best to protest, but to no avail.

But unfortunately, you can't just vigorously protest a rabid animal into calmly sitting in the corner and harming no one.

The current death toll in "Israel's" war of genocide in the Gaza Strip now exceeds 32'705 Palestinian killed, while another 75'190 others have been wounded since the start of the current round of Zionist aggression beginning on October 7th, 2023.

Hello, 👋

I hope you're well.

I humbly ask for your support by reblogging this post on your account to help save my family. As newcomers to Tumblr and GoFundMe, we are in desperate need of your kindness and support. 🙏❤️

My previous account was deleted, and now I'm reaching out, seeking your help to share my new account. Our sole hope is that your generosity can help my family endure this merciless war. 🙏🌹

Thank you sincerely. 🌹

Hello @m8hammed , I will do my best to share your campaign 💚 I have shared your pinned post, and I encourage my friends to take a look at your pictures and learn your story. And consider that a high number of notes isn't always a good thing for the tangible goal! Much like how a campaign will stagnate right before its goal, it's as if people see a large number of notes and assume everyone else is helping.

The only way to be sure someone helps is by helping :)

So please be a helpful compassionate soul and follow my friend @m8hammed and learn the names and dreams and hardships of his family.

Move forward in the world with good intention and care and you are always on the right path🙏

I am sorry this world is cruel and stupid. I am sorry you must implore petulant strangers on a cheap web site for relief. Many citizens of the empirical core believe themselves to be benevolent, good people yet have a wicked greedy little heart that only has love for themselves. These are people who complain about the price of gas to a person with a photo of their bombed, burnt car on their wall, man! PLEASE😭

Please feel free to send an ask, I may not always answer them all, but I do try to reblog a post from you when I see them! God be with your family and bless your health and see your goals met with perfect speed my friend🙏🫂💐💝❤️🖤🤍💚

Biden warns US military aid to Israel could be cut if aid doesn't reach Gaza.

Looks like Biden has finally had enough of trying to be diplomatic with Netanyahu, and being sabotaged in return.

Just as long as the Iron Dome isn't compromised (and I don't think Biden would- he singled that out as a red line before). That's a defensive system, there's literally no reason to sabotage it unless you want more dead Israelis (including civilians), and/or more escalation.

Hey, while its very important to be echoing the opinions of Palestinians, and putting their needs at the forefront of your actions/ activism, its also key to remember, that like any identity group, you will find people act and say things that conflict with the majority opinion, potentially in ways that seem aligned with the opinions of the oppressor.

There's a lot of reasons people in general do this. Maybe they want to (attempt to) attain the privilege of the oppressor, maybe there is another societal factor as to why they might be inclined to do that (ie there will be strong personal/political consequences for a more radical opinion or just rich), maybe they work in a field which is particularly invested in maintaining the hierarchies of power and oppression (ie police, military). I'm not going to tell you that these people's opinions/ experiences should be invalidated entirely, but that you should ask yourself who benefits from the legitimacy provided by having say, a Palestinian as a spokesperson about something, and asking yourself why they seem to be in conflict with the majority opinion, especially if that opinion isn't really being represented by the org using the spokesperson.

Israel air raid on Gaza clinic kills senior Palestinian health official

Palestinian rights advocates accuse the Israeli military of pushing to completely destroy the medical system in Gaza.

(June 24th 2023)

Text from article below:

Palestinian medics and rights advocates have denounced the killing of a top medical official in Gaza by the Israeli military, accusing Israel of systematically targeting the health system in the besieged enclave.

Israel bombed a clinic in Gaza City late on Sunday, killing Hani al-Jaafarawi, Gaza’s director of ambulances and emergency, and four other people.

The targeted clinic, which offered general health, paediatric and dental services, was also put out of commission by the Israeli attack.

“The Israeli war jets bombed the clinic and destroyed its rooms completely,” said Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Ismail Algoul, reporting from Gaza City.

“The blood of the people who were targeted is still on the floor, while now, thousands of patients are in danger after the clinic lost all of its facilities as a result of the Israeli raid.”

Eyad Zaqout, director of the emergency department at Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir el-Balah, told Al Jazeera on Monday that by killing al-Jaafarawi, Israel removed “a pillar” from the territory’s collapsing health system.

“It is clear that the Israeli forces are trying once again to destroy the health and medical system in Gaza completely,” Zaqout said.

“Hani al-Jaafarawi was a pillar for Gaza’s health system. He was working hard for [and] serving the sick and the wounded people. He was serving day and night to serve those who are living in very difficult circumstances in Gaza.”

Gaza’s Ministry of Health also eulogised al-Jaafarawi as a role model in his dedication and commitment to medical duty as well as to helping sick and wounded Palestinians despite the enormous challenges posed by the Israeli offensive.

“The Health Ministry renews its demands for the international community and global organisations to end the heinous Israeli aggression against the Gaza Strip and protect the health system and its workers,” the ministry said in a statement.

It said that 500 health workers have been killed by Israel and 310 others have been detained since the start of the war on Gaza in October.

The Israeli military said on Monday that its attack was on a “Hamas weapons production headquarters” and killed a top Hamas official responsible for developing the group’s fighting capabilities.

For its part, the United States said the conflicting reports around the attack make it “very hard to get at the bottom-line truth”.

“Obviously, militants should not hide behind civilians – that’s been the case from the beginning. And Israel needs to take all precautions to minimise civilian harm,” State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Monday.

Missing children

Meanwhile, Israel continued its bombardment across Gaza. The Health Ministry said on Monday that the death toll from the war reached at least 37,626.

Save the Children said on Monday that an estimated 21,000 children are unaccounted for in Gaza.

“It is almost impossible to collect and verify information under the current conditions in Gaza, but at least 17,000 children are believed to be unaccompanied and separated and approximately 4,000 children are likely missing under the rubble, with an unknown number also in mass graves,” the charity said in a statement on Monday.

“Others have been forcibly ‘disappeared’, including an unknown number detained and transferred out of Gaza, their whereabouts unknown to their families amidst reports of ill-treatment and torture.”

At least seven Palestinians were killed in Khan Younis while awaiting much-needed aid on Monday, health officials said.

The Palestinian Civil Defence said it retrieved the bodies of five Palestinians, including three children and one woman, after an Israeli attack in central Gaza.

Israel has also been advancing deeper in Rafah in southern Gaza, where Israeli army chief Herzi Halevi said the military was close to “finishing off” Hamas.

“We have tremendous achievements in the battle for Rafah… this can be seen by the number of killed terrorists, the volume of destroyed infrastructure, the [destroyed] tunnels, and the advance in underground warfare, which is very complex,” said Halevi, according to the Jerusalem Post newspaper.

Truce proposal

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had said on Sunday that the “intense phase of the fighting against Hamas is about to end”.

Netanyahu told Israel’s Channel 14 that Israel would be open to a “partial” truce with Hamas to secure the release of Israelis held by the group but would not agree to end the war.

His remarks appeared to contradict the US assertion that Israel has agreed to a proposal by Washington that would lead to an “enduring” ceasefire.

US officials have been emphasising that Hamas is the party blocking the multi-phased deal, which was presented by President Joe Biden in May.

Hamas said Netanyahu’s remarks show that Israel is not seeking a ceasefire deal but looking to buy time to continue the “war of extermination” against Gaza.

“It is now clear to the world that Netanyahu is the one rejecting and obstructing the deal proposed in the Biden speech and the latest UN Security Council resolution, not Hamas,” Izzat al-Rishq, a senior official from the group, said in a statement on Monday.

The Israeli prime minister appeared to walk back his comments later on Monday, saying his government was “committed to the Israeli proposal, which President Biden has welcomed”.

The US State Department suggested that Netanyahu had misspoken.

“I think all of us that speak publicly at times make mistakes and misspeak, and when we do so, we have an obligation to clarify. And we’re glad he did,” Miller said.
