The Israeli military is set to receive a “major new weapons shipment” from the US in the coming weeks to help prepare it for continued operations in Gaza and a potential attack on Iran, the Israeli news site Ynet reported on Monday.
The details of the arms shipment are unclear, but Ynet said it would include 3,000 munitions for Israel’s Air Force. The report said the bomb shipment was recently approved by the Trump administration.
The Pentagon’s Defense Cooperation Agency said on Monday that the State Department approved a $180 million arms deal for Eitan Powerpack Engines that will go to Israel, but it did not announce any new bomb shipments.
The Ynet report said the new weapons shipment will help prepare the Israeli military for a new “large-scale campaign” in Gaza and that it comes in addition to over 10,000 munitions that are expected to replenish Israeli stockpiles soon.
The Trump administration has approved a series of arms deals and weapons shipments for Israel, totaling more than $12 billion, including tens of thousands of 2,000-pound bombs, which Israel has dropped on densely populated civilian areas of Gaza.
Trump officials have claimed that the Biden administration placed a “partial arms embargo” on Israel, but President Biden provided more military aid to Israel in a single year than any other US president in history.
Besides fueling Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, US military aid to Israel also supports Israel’s stepped-up military operations in the West Bank and its occupations of southern Lebanon and southern Syria.
History will very clearly show that the subservience of successive US administrations to Israel was a key component in the downfall of the US.
In a just universe that should be so.
How can the majority of people still believe in the "greatness" of America, when America's greatness is always connected to killing and abusing other countries and people?
Currently, US is making Israel great again while sacrificing its own…!
i am 6-12% blackfeet so…it ruffles a few of my feathers, pun intended unfortunately…
The Zionists could care less about the fate of its lackey host, the US. As long as there is sufficient blood from the host to keep the sucker alive that’s all that is needed.
Absolutely true
Did Trump kneel and fondle Netanyahu's balls too?
Gotta be tough on Don Genocide's lower back; Netanyahu's an old man so them 'clockweights' of his gotta be droopin' down near ankle-height.
I don't know. Mine have slowed in their downward journey. At this rate I'll have to live to be 100 to get the boys down to my ankles. Maybe even my knees.
lol!
Lol…! They're too sensitive after the surgery…!
Is Genocide a word that either Israel or the US can abide?!….!….!…. …..
Semantics? This day and age? Really Donna!
gen·o·cide
/ˈjenəˌsīd/
noun
the deliberate killing of a large number of people from a particular nation or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.
"a campaign of genocide"
Borrow and spend to oblivion.
Golly, i always 'thought' that it was not just illegal but completely amoral to give weapons to psychopathic serial killers, but hey, i guess, im just in a crazy insane minority again as usual.
It is quite odd that the USA, a country well known for prosecuting anyone five steps removed from mass / school shooters, nearly gleefully acts in full partnership with a genocidal state regime.
It's even worse with our present cabinet members. They feel they are doing god's work by killing "the enemy". After all did not the god in the Old Testament do the same?
At least when the Biden bunch killed they did not use the bible as an excuse.
passover always,especially turned my stomach at the most basic of amorality's-killing innocent children…let us pray, hellno…No way, run kids run far and fast
We got a REALLY good Metallica song out of Passover ('Creeping Death') so it's not all bad.
That and the Exodus narrative lacks historical evidence.
Let us celebrate!!!
dang i just read the lyrics..
Heavy heavy
weighted as a stone tablet
soon to be written
etched by your flaming god
I command
i command thee
from a burning bush
you are the chosen
Obey obey
or wander wander the desert
your sacrilegious pigs
do i offer pearls to swine?
You are my chosen
but i shun two generations
have a nice trip
you will suffer immeasurably
But when the time has come to pass
you will see the place
land of milk and honey
and it is good
But first
you must slaughter
every man daughter cattle and dog
until all are gone
Then you may reside
where i have granted you
have a nice day
enjoy
The polls say you're in the huge majority.
No. Good news the Pew poll came out recently showing that a majority of US adults now view Israel in an unfavorable light. The future will be brighter than the past.
You must very young…
Lol, I am no spring chicken
my humble apologies but i could have and said that much better but the gist is fair. Yet i distain from being that’ grumpy old man with 100% cynicism. History has ebbs and flows but the generalized consensus is not indictivavite of a positive trend let alone outcome. May i suggest Schopenhauer? And George Carlin? We are, sinking,aboard the titanctic of humanity at the same time it is spinning faster and faster towards that drain. We, unfortunately, do not have a positive impact on this planet and never will..Too late for prayers or good deeds to stem the tide. It was never meant to be. But that does not excuse us from doing good deeds as best one can, though it is generally irrelative…
I am young at heart, as we all should be. However, you must understand from my perspective, we are not coming from a point of weakness. Western liberalism has no brakes or equal measures. Its either domination based on hubris or hopelessness. The Arab world is different. They have no where to go but up.
Please dont get hung up or on perceived concepts of labels or perceptions. WE ARE ALL HUMAN BEINGS and where we are from is on little blue ball in an expanse that goes farther than we can imagine and so we are all brothers and sisters from the same egg…Nothing can keep us from each other and the greatest word i have ever found for this is simply; namaste
And please don't get me wrong. I am not in the business of dividing humanity based on region, ethnicity, race, religion or nationality. There are certain issues where universal justice is clear.
i am a world citizen and i eschew all illusionary borders.. Actually i think its the title of my books that sell so so well..Let me look; oh yes-here it is https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/55d5f057bcb6c5d512a83484fd0aa84a11c9494ee846fe48bb5667cf7909734c.jpg
Thank you. Apart from my interest in the Palestinian cause, I base my worldview on sound foundations that reinforce history, human nature and reality.
Every day
from my first step
i walk in my dads steps
he was a giant
with steps strong and true
Yes
One by one
i have stumbled
i have fallen
but i rise
i step again
A line of steps
how far back
who can tell
but we all do
and that is good
Now my sons
step in mine
and like me
with my dad
we walk
One day
they will step out
on their own
so has it been
for time
that goes back to dust
Into a future
no one can tell
but we all step
one by one
in our dads footsteps
and it is clear
i am honored
i am humbled
above all
i am grateful
for my Dads steps
i walk in my Dads footsteps
every step of the way
as i see my sons behind me
walking in my steps
i hear this song
https://youtu.be/BCJenvW7lcg?si=fwC44arhbugkE8X3
“Day by day we walk on, our feet pressing the same earth our fathers and our fathers’ fathers walked day by day…”
Exactly why we know what works and what doesn’t. What we learn from history is some fail to learn from history.
Like war? Exploitation of the rich over the poor? Roles used as subjugation and manipulation? Some bad ideas just never go away.
For Muslims such verses form a worldview they are willing to live and die by. Everything else is idealism, nihilism or just victims of circumstance. Personally, even if God was taken out of the equation I would still run my life according to these principles. To each his own.
"There is no compulsion in religion."
"O you who believe! Stand out firmly for justice, as witnesses to God, even if it is against yourselves, your parents, or your kin. Whether rich or poor, God is more worthy of both. So follow not [personal] desire, lest you not be just. And if you distort [your testimony] or refuse [to give it], then indeed, God is ever aware of what you do."
"Fight in the way of God those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed, God does not like transgressors."
"Permission [to fight] has been given to those who are being fought, because they have been wronged. And indeed, Allah is competent to give them victory."
"so do not oppress the orphan, nor repulse the beggar."
"Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing men and believing women, the devout men and devout women, the truthful men and truthful women, the patient men and patient women, the humble men and humble women, the charitable men and charitable women, the fasting men and fasting women, the men who guard their chastity and the women who do so, and the men who remember God often and the women who do so — for them God has prepared forgiveness and a great reward."
"Is not the reward for goodness anything but goodness?"
"God does not burden a soul beyond its capacity. It will have [the consequence of] what [good] it has gained, and it will bear [the consequence of] what [evil] it has earned…"
"Indeed, God will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves."
"Say, 'Each one acts according to their own disposition (or nature), and your Lord is most knowing of who is best guided on the path.'"
"He has succeeded who purifies it (the soul), and he has failed who corrupts it."
"O you who believe! Stand firmly for God as bearers of witness with justice, and let not the hatred of a people prevent you from being just. Be just — that is nearer to taqwa (God-consciousness). And fear God; indeed, God is All-Aware of what you do."
In the right direction – yes. But will it hold or is it skewed because of politics? Many simply are against Israel now because of Trump.
Will greater negative view of Israel due to Gaza "hold, or is it skewed [by] politics? Many simply are against Israel now because of Trump."
It is plausible that some Democrats – where you see the big shift – are openly antiwar/anti-Israel, now, because they no longer fear antiwar views will help Trump win the election.
But "many" are only "against Israel now because of Trump"?
That is conjectural, cloudhopper – and it would be necessary to look at pre-election polls – and Democratic voices in the mainstream media and Congress – to figure out how much of a partisan bump there was post-election.
In solidarity…
It may be but this is an irreversible tide shift. The proof is many fold 1. Older Americans are phasing out and the future is with the youth. 2. Israelis themselves are losing motivation for the Zionist project. 3. Certainly young Jewish Americans are less supportive of Israel. 4. I realize its anecdotal but the tide against Israel is changing on daily basis one person at a time. From the failures of the “daily wire” to the social media podcasts, people are questioning the Us Israel relationship. 5. The more America is divided domestically the less support for Israel over time.
Indeed. Religiosity is on the decline, not just in Judaism – noticed a book at my Right-wing Christian step-grandparents' house about "keeping your kids and family with Christ in These Turbulent Times™".
'Nones' are on the increase; and if religious, many people are less practicing and more just identifying as believers out of habit (pardon pun) or by default. "Sense of community" seems to be the main driver of church attendance for many people.
Objectively speaking Islam is increasing, not receding.
That depends on what you consider Islam is.
If Islam is just birth rates of people who are designated “Muslim” by their parents or governmental authorities, regardless of what their religious beliefs turn out to be once they’re competent to have such beliefs, then yes, Islam is growing.
If Islam is a matter of actual religious belief, it’s harder to tell, but there seem to be roughly as many conversions from it as to it.
I agree it’s harder to tell. I do believe it’s plausible to say that it is the rallying cry of the Muslim masses and seems to be the alternative choice to those westerners who convert. Non Muslims academics and pundits have repeatedly made the observation that Islam possesses stable foundations that allow it to reinvent itself throughout the centuries. Remember Pat Buchanan’s article “Nothing more powerful than an idea whose time has come?”
I was mainly just taking issue with what method of counting would be “objective.”
I suspect pre-Reformation European “Christendom” considered itself to be “growing” because every baby got sprinkled with water and pronounced a “Christian.” On those terms, all that’s required for Islam to be “growing” is for all the regimes that deem babies born to Muslim parents “Muslim” and forbid conversion from or renunciation of that status is a higher birth rate than death rate.
I totally agree. My observation would have to be objectively verified.
I do think that the OIC (57 Muslim majority countries) and polling throughout the Muslim world indicates an identity relationship with Islam. This is significant in our times where religious ideas are receding in centers of power in the west.
Well good, hope it holds.
And, the uni-party says you're also antisemitic if you don't support genocide and ethnic cleansing. After all as Nancy Pelosi said, "Israel doesn't need the United States, the United States needs Israel."
i dont like to wag the dogs tail,especially if it has rabies and bites!
You keep feeding the beast until the beast feeds on you.
1)The Abyss Waves You Down In
No no no
sigh
evil is never
the solution to evil
If you commit
the very same vile act
that does not make you superior
This is not justice
it is simply vengeance
and that is always
ever a very nasty slippery slope
To the abyss
who is waving you in
with open arms
and a diabolical slurping laugh
Our gut instinct
one and all
is that very feeling
to pay them back in spades
To do to them
what was done to you
and even with a little more
but never again means
never again for Everyone
Vendetta has many names
in every culture
all through human history
a vicious cycle of insanity
Hear that dark echo
feel the sucking ripple
flowing on and on
it must be ended
We have to break the cycle
we need to rise above
choose an alternative
not to feed the evil one
but starve the mf…
2)Up is Down or is Down Up?
Rules for thee
but not for me
or my lil’ buddy
is that a problem?
Genocide is not mass killing
its just mowing the grass
ethnic cleansing is not forced removal of the indigenous
its a free one way ticket to a shit hole, er golden paradise
Dont forget what happened 90 years ago
we will never let you shirk the guilt
its our excuse to do virtually the same thing
to cousins who had nothing to do with it at all
We’re changing semantics back in the states
double speak coded into law
in the land of the free
want a shackled plane trip to a prison overseas?
But don’t feel indignant or outraged at the most base of atrocities
we’ve been doing this over here for centuries
go check out a reservation
read about the blackfeet and blackhawk
Oh, you cant find the research?
we needed to upgrade the history books
it was bs and gave the good guys a bad name
you aint woke you are now fast asleep
Get your ungrateful ass back in the classroom
quit your illegal protesting
your supporting the terrorists
even if they are starving women and children
Jump on down the rabbit hole
kosher to the bone
dont you dare complain
your an antisemite if you do
off you go
we got you by the balls…literally STFU!
3)Dulce Et Decorum Est III & A Taste of Armageddon
(Or the Empire has no Clothes but a Disposition Matrix)
By michael hall
In due homage
to Horace, Owen & Mikhail
i humbly nod
for how sweet & glorious
it must be to kill or die
for god and country
the bold old lie
Per pompous duty
asphyxiatingly-wrapped
within ersatz honor
bubbling babbling bufoons
gushing drooling
patriotic plebian pride
so c’mon kiddies,
any up for good jingo sport?
who’s hungry & poor,
who wants to play
the hubris ‘anything for profit’
killing game?
As newspapers rah rah
pied piper patriotism
with journalistic integrity
star spangled objectivity
ha ha!
as a new battle/fear lies
just around the corner
& armed forces day
just weeks away
hooray!
rally loyal cuckold citizens
to whitewash warm innocuous blood
off disgraced musket & sullied polluted flag
strike up the marching band
manifest destiny parade
down main street usa
hurrah!
Awaken & open thine eyes
chauvinistic folk
come & see
xenophobic overseas deeds
of nefarious brutality
You’re culpable
for this macabre
tax-paid supported sadism
exported to hamlets & villages
in lands you couldn’t find on a map
nor correctly pronounce
Assaulting families
who’ve never
did you any wrong
of clans you’ve never heard of
nor care less for
so step on up
one & all
Take a jaunt
to the overflowing morgues
filled with small smashed bodies
once bouncing blooming toddlers
brimming of laughter & life
Deeply inhale
the rancid stench
of scorched flesh
crispy burnt
to a black bubbly mass
by white phosphorus
Gaze into doll dead eyes
frozen forever
by shock & awe
renditioned
via your God blessed
terror from above
Crumpled atop a cold gurney
a stiff finger of a tiny hand
amidst a mish-mosh of mangled flesh
jabs at you war supporters
Watch
as grief-stricken father’s
zombie-wander
in shattered silence
sifting through ragged debris
devastating destruction
searching
for lost sons
missing daughters
Discovering
ripped wet mangled body parts
strewn out as pieces of a human jig-saw puzzle
taking home
the ear, the hand, the foot
to be quietly buried
while 6000 miles away
blue-blooded heroes giggle and snicker
toggle at a video screen
toe-tagging this crime against humanity
‘bugsplat’
Harken
to the heart-piercing shrieks
as soul-torn asunder mothers
wail like howling wild animals
as they find their loves buried
broken bloody and mutilated
in the smoking rubble
of your glorious works
Then if you can
please explain
to the unresponsive moaning
neonatal orphan
why your armed forces
just murdered his parents
by accident
then wave a condolence payment
like juicy enticement in his face
Celebrate
as your special op-forces
silently quickly efficiently
dig out bullets
from innocent bodies
to cover their tracks
from being at the wrong address
again
Declare
a national holiday
murdered women at a bridal shower
proclaim holy day
4 kids droned to smithereens
while tending sheep
rejoice in festival
exported evil exploits
as great american victories
for which your war crimes always are
Trust flim-flam,
the PR propaganda spin
subjective corporate mass media
submit without question
leaders and church bosses
pay your taxes
which finances anglo-terrorism
illegal & immoral aggressive pandemonium
or listen to a blue rodeo
Raise your filthy faux flag
higher higher ever higher
to hover over the rising pile where the butchered lie
however
dear crass christian citizens
no civic rag
could ever soar over
the sick slaying of the innocent
accumulating abominations
flag-pledged atrocities
Appraise Fallujah
surrounded & caged
as the cowering cringing unarmed [natives] peasants
are shot, burned & barbequed
just slaughtered sitting ducks
in a ‘free-fire zone’ shooting gallery
Ponder
upon your sanctimonious attack
at a school in Bajour
where 69 children are massacred by joystick
as you deceive yourself
into believing
it did not happen
white washing your hands
turning as you walk away
This is Sand Creek
Wounded Knee
My Lai
Haditha
too many other schooled
contorted & distorted great triumphs
To whit
no doubt in my mind
the next war crime called
a ‘battle’
or a ‘humanitarian bombing’
will be fervidly anointed too
sanctioned of course
by church state and school
the cold falsity
ta ta.
Well done!!!……!
Thanks Donna but not too real or negative?
Trump officials have claimed that the Biden administration placed a “partial arms embargo” on Israel, but President Biden provided more military aid to Israel in a single year than any other US president in history.
It's only April. And the Don doesn't like being outdone by anybody.
There is something tyrants have over other leaders. They threaten to kill and carry it out if not obeyed.
At the moment it appears as if the world is paralyzed, not wanting for the planet to go up in flames.
And Trump knows it and therefore continues to rule by sheer force and threats.
Loudest cheers in Boise for attacks on US support for the genocide.
Because everything is just ducky here in the USA. No problems here to solve, oh except maybe there’s that whole anti-semitism thing. No homeless, no continued sanctuary areas crawling with people not born here. Just ducky I say.
What do you call a country that defunds scientific research on childhood cancer then sends the money to oligarchs and insensate genocide criminals?
An evil empire
United States of America with Israel.
"Israel To Receive ‘Major’ New Weapons Shipment from the US"
Just great. The last shipments resulted in 10's of thousands of dead women and children. More murder and mayhem enabled by taxes extorted from Americans by the corrupt political class. Both political parties. War criminals.
Check out the Leahy Law. It was enacted to prohibit arms transfers from the US to countries that were accused of human rights violations.
When it comes to the atrocities committed by Israel using American weaponry the Leahy Law gathers dust, is ignored by the same people that introduced it and voted for it. Thus it is rendered meaningless, a smack in the face of the democratic legislative process that supposedly sets America apart from the rest of the world.
Aren't ya all so proud to be an American and have your extorted wages and other income used to kill more people the uni-party says are our enemies? But, what can the people do if their gov. goes rogue and totally evil? This is a lesson on how govs. work when they can tax and spend any way they want without the consent of the people. Centralization of authority in the Fed. Gov. is the reason, and lobbying, (legal bribery) is the way gov. works in the USA.
NEXT STEP OF ZIONISM?
Zionist Supremacism and Murder of the Innocent. https://www.globalresearch.ca/zionist-supremicism-murder-innocents/5884408
"Israeli Zionists are obsessed with the superiority of the Jewish bloodline. This overtly supremacist position is behind all Netanyahu’s attempts to destroy the Palestinians of Gaza, and most likely all other Palestinian enclaves that remain after decades of pogroms into their territory by the Israeli military.
Many of those military men and women – apparently willing to perform acts of cold blooded murder on their Palestinian brothers, sisters and children – may be less than human themselves.
"Yuval Noah Harari, the Israeli professor of history and top advisor to the Word Economic Forum cabal, has made a point of stating how human beings are now “hackable”, and how this will enable the reengineering of the human into a gene edited version in which ‘all the faults have been removed’. With the result that this entity will then become ‘superior to God’.
“We will do better than God” in Harari’s words.
"This has a strong throw-back to Hitler’s preoccupation with the pre World War Two eugenics program, designed to result in the breeding of ‘the perfect Aryan’. In the Nazi’s case, an athletic, blond haired, blue eyed ‘ubermensch’. A god like figure, whose qualities were supposed to lead to Nazi Germany developing a race of superior beings ‘with most of the faults removed’. AGAIN: "You will become what you hate the most."
The UN has officially recognized Palestinian statehood in March 2025. The only dissenting vote was the US and that could change with a new adminstration. For all practical purposes Israel is a dead man walking – it lost
