Bullshit Biden Sending Israel More Bombs, Warplanes Amid Gaza Genocide
Bullshit Biden Sending Israel More Bombs, Warplanes Amid Gaza Genocide
Netanyahu, who is willing to pull the world down with him, wants to drag the U.S. into war with Iran and he has just the right administration to do it.
U.S. President Joe Biden “authorized the transfer of billions of dollars worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel” — including 2,000-pound bombs — so Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can continue bombing and starving Palestinians with Washington’s full support, a report said.

Reuters, citing two sources familiar with the effort, reported that the new arms packages “include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs.”
These arms transfers were approved by Congress in 2008, so the State Department was not required to hold a vote, the Washington Post’s report said.
TRENDPOST: Israel wants to drag the U.S. into war with Iran and these weapon transfers are nothing more the Washington fortifying its largest base in the Middle East: Israel. The warmongers in the U.S. Congress are salivating for a war with Iran which is the ultimate goal for Netanyahu, who is willing to take the world down with him.
Sarah Leah Whitson, the executive director of DAWN MENA, a human-rights group, posted on X: “While two-faced Biden has criticized Israel for their atrocities in Gaza, he's actually rewarding them for their filthy fight with billions more in the most lethal weapons -- including 2,000 pound bombs that even the US & other countries no longer use in battle because of their catastrophic impacts.”
Israel has put these 2,000-pound bombs to good use, striking refugee camps and other densely populated areas. U.S. officials said the U.S. has provided tens of thousands of weapons to Israel to keep up the killings in Gaza, including massive bunker-busting bombs that are powerful enough to smash tunnels dug deep below ground level.
Marc Garlasco, a military adviser for the Dutch organization PAX, told The New York Times in the early weeks of the war that the destruction that these bombs have caused is unlike anything he’s ever seen.
The U.S. already provides Israel with $3.8 billion a year in military support. Critics of that policy look at Israel and see little more than a large U.S. military base where it can influence policy in the Middle East. Indeed, President Joe Biden once said, as a senator, that if Israel did not exist, the U.S. would have to create it.
Brian Castner, a weapons investigator for Amnesty International and a former explosive ordnance disposal officer in the U.S. Air Force, told The New York Times in November that Israel is “using extremely large weapons in extremely densely populated areas. It is the worst possible combination of factors.”
The Biden administration, which has given Israel the weapons and money needed to carry out the ongoing genocide in Gaza, introduced a bullshit ceasefire resolution in the UN earlier this month that was mocked as fraudulent.
“The cynicism of Biden’s call for a cease-fire while continuing to fund an arm of the government massacring over 100 Palestinians every day and starving the entire region and population is beyond description,” Andre Damon, a reporter for WSWS, wrote.
He wrote, “The Biden administration hopes that by proclaiming its support for a ‘ceasefire’ loudly enough, it will make the world’s population forget that it fully supports and enables the U.S.-Israeli ‘final solution’ of the Palestinian question.”
Damon wrote that the reality of the situation is that the Biden administration cosigned the Gaza genocide and every action from the ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza to the attacks on the al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City that Israel claimed resulted in the deaths of 170 “Hamas terrorists.”
Damon called out the hypocrisy.
He wrote, “To this day, every time a White House official is asked this question, the White House asserts that the bombings of civilians amount to a series of unfortunate accidents.”
Amed Khan, a human rights advocate who has worked inside Gaza, wrote in The Intercept that after organizing aid for Palestinians, it has become clear to him that Biden “is on board for ethnic cleansing.”
Khan noted that he was a major supporter of Biden back in 2020 and even held fundraisers.
But he wrote that Israel’s bombardment would not be possible without “tens of thousands of bombs and guided munitions sent by the U.S. since October 7.”
“The Biden administration organized more than 100 arms transfers but only notified Congress of two, utilizing a variety of mechanisms to mask the scale and frequency of weapons transfers. While he provided a steady flow of weapons to Israel, Biden withheld funding from the UN Relief and Works Agency, or UNRWA, which provides aid to Palestinian refugees. The largest humanitarian aid body in Gaza, UNRWA was targeted by Israel with unfounded claims—that its employees participated in the October 7 attack in Israel.”
