Biden's last hoorah: $8 billion weapons package to Israel is in the works
The U.S. plans to approve an arms package for Israel, including artillery shells, precision bombs, and GPS systems, though production and delivery could take years; Meanwhile, heavy bombs and bulldozer shipments face delays due to concerns over impact on civilians in Gaza

Can someone change the shipping label and send it to Ukraine instead?
No they don’t need it, not like struggling to survive Israel.
No send it to me!
Before anyone misunderstands my point, Israel is committing acts of genocide in Gaza and it's allies are complicit by their (in)actions.
However Israel and Ukrainian weapon deals are very different. Israel just pays for their weapons, as far as I know they do not get any financial support. Ukraine cannot afford that, so either the weapons are gifted or financed indirectly through sized assets. Morally it makes no difference imo, but economically there is a world of difference.
It is exactly the opposite. Ukraine gets lend leased weapons they need to pay back.
Israel receives billions in military aid budget which they then use to "buy" American weapons with.
You're saying they're already paid for then? Even more reason to send them to Ukraine
This is why we made you step down, asshole.
I just hope he lives long enough to be thrown in prison.
Haha, by the US justice system. Good one.
Hopefully by the Hague
Joe, you idiot! Sick of my taxes going to this shit. We're all broke as it is here, and the US don't need to be participating in a fucking genocide!
8B / 350M is only like $22 per person. Sending weapons to help Ukraine fight an oppressive nation or sending weapons to Israel to be oppressive to Palestinians isn’t really affecting your tax.
What you want is for corporations and billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.
Edit: I don’t think it’s productive to a discussion if you downvote a comment without telling the person why. Clearly y’all don’t agree but are not willing to put across your side.
Yeah, Lemmy doesnt do discussion very well, it feels like a bunch of 15yos who just discovered the idea of socialism/linux/veganism and its now the answer to all the worlds problems. All of them.
Any discussion about why there might be some nuance to the situation just isnt worth the ball ache.
Genocide Joe, even on his demented way out.
Even Worse on the way in.
Dementia Don?
I'll consider myself lucky if Biden ends up being the worst president I ever voted for... Provided we keep having elections.
If they do, Democrats will run someone to his right. I've given up on the party ever moving left.
