US hits pause on precision bomb shipments to Israel to send message in protest of Gaza policy
”Never again,” President Biden said at the Holocaust Day commemoration. Apparently never means something different to him.
[NYPOST] Biden administration officials are holding up shipments of precision bombs to Israel to send a message about the Jewish state’s ongoing war against Hamas
...not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
in the Gazoo
Islamic Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response. In October of 2023 Gazooks belonging to Hamas invaded Israel, killed over a thousand people, raped a bunch of women. Then they bitched and moaned about genocide when their butts handed to them in the entirely justified retaliation.
Strip.
Use of dumb bombs, naturally, will increase civilian casualties.
While the White House has not formally scrapped the planned sale of the Boeing-made munitions, it has yet to formally approve the transaction, Politico reported Tuesday.

US officials tiptoed around the report, with a series of spokespeople refusing to deny it.

"Our commitment to Israel’s security remains ironclad. We don’t, as a matter of course, talk about individual shipments one way or the other," National Security Council front man John Kirby told news hounds.

#7 If Biden halts weapons exports to Israel, Israel should feel free to reveal whatever dirty laundry they have on the democrats. Hell, I'm not sure they'd even really need anything, the democrats are just so dirty they'd crap their pants if Mossad says, "Okay, let's play who did what to who."
