Two key US Congress Democrats approve major arms sale to Israel: Report
2024-06-18
[Al Jazeera] Two Democrats
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
in US Congress who have been stalling a major arms sale to Israel have agreed to support the deal under heavy pressure from the Biden administration, the Washington Post reports.

Citing three unnamed officials, the Post said that Representative Gregory Meeks and Senator Ben Cardin finally relented weeks ago after months of holding up the weapons package, which includes 50 F-15 fighter jets worth more than $18bn.

Meeks, the top Democrat on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, had previously promised to hold up the package until he received assurances about how Israel would use the warplanes and munitions in Gazoo
...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...
"Any issues or concerns Chair Cardin had were addressed through our ongoing consultations with the [Biden] Administration, and that’s why he felt it appropriate to allow this case to move forward," Eric Harris, communications director for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, told the Post.
