This isn’t a “sale”. Israel purchases these weapons with a fund created with U.S. taxpayer dollars. Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel. Congress can block this “sale.” VOTE. www.nbcwashington.com/news/nationa...

Point of information: The blast radius of a 2000 lb bomb is 800 meters. It's not a precision weapon, the swath of destruction is nearly a mile wide. Trump wants to give Israel 40,000 of these.

It is surprising that republican party not explaining the strategic importance of the US presence in Middle East that certainly justifies US involvement in fight against terrorist state Iran. Average individual not grasping this unless clearly explained to them, media not fulfilling this role.

For Trump, when your moral bar lays so low that you support genocide in foreign lands, would you really never doing it at home? Morals are obviously not what stops you from doing that. And you use already camps with inhumane conditions.

It's not the DoD but the DoW. Dear Leader and his enablers, #PresidentVought, #PresidentThiel, #PresidentMiller, #PresidentEllison, #PresidentBezos, and #PresidentMusk are war criminals. Why is this #orangeDecibyte still president? Asking for some billion friends. #Amphifa: #ViveLaFrogistance!

US TAXPAYERS ARE PAYING FOR THE MEGA BOMBS VIA FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING GRANTS ▪︎US TAXPAYERS PAY ▪︎LARGE US BOMBS ▪︎TO CAUSE MASS CIVILIAN CASUALTIES ▪︎ISRAEL US TAXPAYERS PAY FOR BOMBS FOR ISRAEL THAT CAUSE MAXIMUM CIVILIAN CASUALTIES

Between them, Trump and Netanyahu seem to be working their way to a world war nobody else wants. Iran, plus Hezbollah, Houthis and Hamas won't sit idly by. Heaven help us all.

2000lb bombs are block busters. City killers. WMD. These weapons are NOT penetrator bombs optimized to go after deeply buried/fortified Iranian nuclear facilities. They are terror weapons, incapable of “precision” attacks, and guaranteed to kill innocent civilians alongside any legit target.

I used to be among those Congressional staff who had to sign off on significant arms sales. Although Congress has largely emasculated itself where it comes to oversight of military assistance , it could still block this sale. All it would take is courage, intelligence, and a moral compass. Oh crap…

It's a sad testament that pretty much all MSM call a $2+B weapon delivery on the taxpayer's dime a „sale“, again with Rolling Stone as a notable exception. Running the 🍊💩🤡 regime's press releases isn't journalism.

I DO NOT WANT MY TAX DOLLARS GOING TO ISRAEL . A Vote For Israel is a vote for more death. STOP THE WAR !!!!!!!! Peace must be reached!!!!!! New-Leaderships must be had. Not wanting children dead is normal. Wiping out everything in eyesight is GENOCIDE.

It's a fact because Biden blocked the transfer of the 2000 pound bombs (while providing other military aid like Iron Dome hardware, etc.). And you're wrong that Biden lifted the block - it was Trump on Jan 25, 2025.

reuters.comTrump makes 2,000-pound bombs available to Israel, undoing Biden pauseThe Biden administration's particular concern was over the use of such large bombs in Rafah, where more than a million Palestinians in Gaza had taken refuge.

In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist... Dwight D Eisenhower

We need to cut all ties & trade with Israel & impose massive sanctions on them. By failing to do this, many governments are failing the moral test of our time. It is not a hard test. We know the answers. Toddlers know the answers (right up until the Israeli government dismembers them on purpose).

But...but...they NEED EACH OTHER to stay out of PRISON... Looking forward to upcoming Israeli election but much like with the OTHER SLIME...I'm not very hopeful in terms of the "decision" that we'll see...

Where did I say 'forget the past'? History will be clear on the genocide and who is ultimately responsible. Focus on how we resolve and move forward. And make sure guardrails are put in place so that it never happens again.

No weapons or components or software support - WHATEVER - to ANY Mideast country ever again, starting now. Advisers, maybe, but US taxpayers MUST stop helping these governments kill residents and citizens and destroying infrastructure and landmining the ground of other countries. ENOUGH!

Trump’s mission seems to be to completely annihilate America - as he was undoubtedly ordered to do by his boss, Putin. So depleting our munitions has a purpose. Our traitor president is deliberately destroying us from within, which is EXACTLY what Kruschev predicted and what Putin wants so badly.

Will Russia supply Iran and other countries that Israel targets as we know that America & Russia like playing their war games in other countries testing out new ways of killing.

I just read a report that it's going to take 5 years for the US to rebuild its munition stock from its assault on Iran, so where are these coming from? Or is it only a special type of munition it's low on.

Yes and then he stopped. Based on a legal argument found in a lawsuit that argued sending them violated the APA and the Arms Export Control Act. The administration had been looking for a legal reason to exempt themselves from the QME provision of the NDAA that requires arming Israel.

Oh so all the time the 2,000 lbs bombs were obliterating Gaza Biden was basically held hostage by an agreement and against his will and conviction had no other option than sending these bombs to a genocidal regime? Interesting

Don't be so quick to give BIden/Harris a pass. This is how they spent their last month in office. These weapons turned children and parents into pink mist just as painfully as the 2ton bombs Biden and Harris "paused" only after 50,000 people were dead under rubble. www.pbs.org/newshour/wor...

pbs.orgBiden administration notifies Congress of planned $8 billion weapons sale to IsraelThe weapons package would add to a record of at least $17.9 billion in military aid that the U.S. has provided Israel since the Hamas attacks on Oct. 7, 2023, launched the war.

I doubt they will be used in Gaza or the West Bank. Trump lifted Biden's "pause" when he took office and I don't know if Israel ever went back to using 2ton bombs in Gaza. Most of Gaza was already in rubble by then. I'm guessing these are for Lebanon and Iran. Maybe someone will ask.

Would you feel any different if it were for us here in the US? At some point it undoubtedly will be...there's nothing whatsoever to indicate there are ANY STOPS, AND CONSEQUENCES, ANY ACCOUNTABILITY for the Zionist government of Israel. None. Why would they stop with the Middle East?

Netanyahu is one of the greatest war criminals and mass murderers of our time. His motto: land acquisition through genocide. He has created a second Warsaw Ghetto in the Gaza Strip and now he does the same in South-Lebanon. www.unicefusa.org/stories/more-50000-children-killed-or-injured-gaza

This is the AI bubble model. NVIDIA or other company gives money to AI hyperscaler as revenue who turns around and spends those ‘earnings’ with that same company. Also known as ‘round tripping.’

Biden administration sent thousands of 2,000-pound MK-84 bombs to Israel during its military campaign in Gaza. Thousands! But he did "pause" one shipment at the end. Trump ended the "pause" and now want to send more to the Israelis. Future Dems need to stop supporting this madness.

“In May 2024, the Biden administration paused certain heavy munitions shipments pending Israel’s plans for operations in Rafah, where humanitarian concerns for displaced Palestinians were raised. After confirming adherence to humanitarian laws 💣☠️👩‍🍼🏥, the munitions transfer was later approved.”

It was May 2024 when Biden paused a bomb shipment as a ‘redline’against Israel entering Rafah. They were subsequently delivered. Jan 2025: “The deal will presumably be the last to be approved by the outgoing Biden administration.” As Israel commits Genocide. www.timesofisrael.com/biden-admini...

Why are American tax payers buying Netanyahu more weapons? I don't want my tax dollars going to Israel to allow more killing of Palestinian families. Netanyahu is committing genocide and trump and the republicans are giving him the weapons that will allow him to do more.

For some reason that no-one who is not American can understand, and Americans don't seem to question, Congress CANNOT block this sale without Trump's approval?

It is a poorly kept secret that the US is as responsible for genocide as Israel. Also aligned with Putin. Certainly an illusion that America is the good guys. Most nations have woken up to this. Especially Europe.

Boy, those people who stayed home in 2024 really taught the Democrats a lesson! It's almost like...and this might sound crazy but stay with me...all of their protesting was less about the people they claimed they were representing/standing up for and more about their own egos. 🤔

It's despicable AIPAC can control our Congress, Israel a Country of 9 million controls a Country of 340 million, it's ridiculous. Genocide is obviously no ethical problem for both Democrats and Republicans.

Netanyahu refuses to help the Jewish president of Ukraine. Netanyahu and his government believe that Jew is expendable. Netanyahu and his government are actively trying to undermine the Jewish president of Mexico. Republicans give Netanyhau over $1 billion worth of bombs.

I'm pretty sure that Israel has run out of likely candidates for 2,000 lb ground penatrating bombs in Gaza. Which leaves the West Bank as the most likely region where Israel anticipates using such bombs. A negotiated peace agreement would be infinitely preferable to laying waste to the West Bank.

IMO, a nation that enables deadly attacks on its own citizens, or engages in genocide, is on a downhill slope. All the faster when predominantly a rabid, fanatic sub-set of its populations turns out to vote. Expect centers of power to shift significantly before this century is over.

Aug 2024: “the intense heat is often generated by tritonal, a mixture of TNT and aluminium powder used in United States-made bombs like the MK-84. June 2024: the United States has transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs www.aljazeera.com/features/202...

aljazeera.comIsrael used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporateUS-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

79% of Gaza was rendered uninhabitable under Biden-Harris. Idiot Trump inherited Biden’s war in Gaza. If Netanyahu knew about Oct 7, you better believe that Biden did too.

There’s a vast difference between final year Biden Harris and Trump. Biden and Harris were listening. Talking about not sending any offensive weapons. Blocked the 2000-pound bombs. If elected, she’d have probably moved even more to block weapons. And she def wouldn’t have joined his Iran war.

“She have probably” Harris still has not condemned Israel for their ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing operations. Blue still does not get it , GENOCIDE is most certainly a purity. Harris is a war criminal.

So we are all agreed that Trump was the much better choice for America & for the entire world. Right? I am sure the people of Lebanon & Iran are deliriously happy at the purity test applied by so many Americans. The death & destruction US/Israel are wreaking there is isn't actually genocide level.

Yes, Biden-Harris were listening to Netanyahu and gang, to fulfill their military needs. The IDF didn’t need 2,000 pound bombs, they succeeded in turning Gaza into ruble without them. The Gaza genocide was a bipartisan success.

CORRECTION: Biden/Harris blocked these 2000-pound bombs from going to Israel FOR A SHORT PERIOD. Then they resumed sending those bombs it Israel to use to inflict maximal harm on civilians.

Great, more bombs for Israel. Between this and heavy use of white phosphorus, Israel is ranking up there with some of the worst warmongers in the world. The whole country needs to be sanctioned, not just the settlements. www.upi.com/Top_News/Wor...
