On Thursday, the Israeli Defense Ministry announced that it secured $8.7 billion in military aid from the US to support its “ongoing military efforts,” meaning the genocidal slaughter in Gaza and Israel’s dramatic escalation in Lebanon.
The ministry said in a statement that its director-general, Maj. Gen. Eyal Zamir, concluded negotiations in Washington to secure the military aid. It said the package includes $3.5 billion for “essential wartime procurement” that has already been sent to Israel and a $5.2 billion grant for air defenses.
The ministry said the $5.2 billion for air defenses “will significantly strengthen critical systems such as Iron Dome and David’s Sling while supporting the continued development of an advanced high-powered laser defense system currently in its later stages of development.”
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin vowed Thursday that the US would continue arming Israel and brushed off the idea of the US setting red lines. “We’ve been committed from the very beginning to help Israel, provide the things that are necessary for them to be able to protect their sovereign territory and that hasn’t changed and won’t change in the future,” he said.
So far, the US has not announced the details of the $8.7 billion weapons package, but the funds are likely being pulled from the $17 billion in new military aid for Israel that was included in the $95 billion foreign military aid bill President Biden signed into law back in April. Israel also receives $3.8 billion from the US in annual military aid.
News of the new US support for Israel comes as the Biden administration claims it’s pushing for a ceasefire in Lebanon. But the US has not altered its support of full-throated support for Israel, and the military aid and pledges to defend Israel if the situation escalates have only emboldened Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who rejected the US calls for a truce on Thursday.
I will no longer support either of the war Parties!
No More War!!!
Who is going to have the courage to NOT pay taxes to this most odious of governments, which is nothing but a whore for Israel's criminal agendas? The biggest concern for most Americans seems to be whether their sports teams win or not while Palestinians and Lebanese have to wonder whether they'll be alive at the end of the day! Shameful to the MAX and I pray that God Almighty will soon end this disgracefull show of genocide!
There is hope, Trump, Tucker, Tulsi, ViVek, Macgregor, Massie, Greene, Vance.
Don't give up yet! 🙂
1 out of 8. Massie.
PEACE ON EARTH!
So, at the same time the US is funding the war machine in Israel, they are also calling for a ceasefire? The MIC must be absolutely ecstatic after receiving the latest $8.7 billion in new arms sales. And, 'Genocide Joe' gets to tell everyone what a good christian he is because he gave Nut-and-yahoo a good finger-wagging. That'll teach those Zionists!
Hilarious, isn't it???
Compare what is sent to Ukraine, seems on the lite side.
Multiply it to include the billions sent to Israel over a 70 history. Then, we are talking real money.
Paper money can be burned, in the midst of war…
Why can't/won't your little grifter colony pay its own bills, and why do you think you have any standing to tell the American taxpayers who do pay your bills to keep quiet?
As of 2024, the IMF estimated Israel has the 26th largest economy in the world by nominal GDP, and one of the biggest economies in the Middle East.
Then why do American taxpayers keep giving them our hard-earned money?
What? Your comment makes no sense.
He probably thinks you're from Israel. You certainly talk like you are. Probably part of that 47% that supported the moral IDF boys who put those electrified steel rods up human being's rectums.
"He probably thinks you're from Israel" That is a stupid assumption. That like me thinking you are from Gaza because you talk like you are. Just because you support Hamas does not mean you are from Gaza,
But Tim, you're a one trick pony in that you seldom if ever comment on articles if it doesn't deal with your Israel.
That would be true if I had said one thing in support of Hamas. As compared to your obvious undying loyalty to Israel. Now, go find something I said that proves I support Hamas or shut the fuck up.
Two wrongs don't make a right. And even one penny to a rogue state like Israel is wrong.
That is your opinion that Israel is a rogue state. Most Americans don't believe that and that is why the US continues strong support for Israel.
Neither should receive a dime. But Ukraine is fighting a war against a foe that is equally armed. Israel is fighting foes that aren't close to being equally armed. Otherwise your smug ass wouldn't be around here.
So you are OK with Russia crushing Ukraine. In your hatred of Israel you support terrorists who like to kill Israelis. I get that. But what do you have against Ukraine?
I don't have nothing against Ukraine. Quite the opposite. The US used Ukraine to weaken Russia. Pure and simple. They even uttered it out loud when it all began. Unless the US/NATO get directly involved, Ukraine cannot defeat Russia in a war of attrition. That's not me siding with Russia, that's just a cold ass fact.
Just like I don't side with terrorists regarding Israel's ongoing genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza. That would be you. I side with the innocents who have been, and continue to be, slaughtered unmercifully by the IDF. So, keep calling anyone Israel kills a terrorist if it makes you feel better. It doesn't change the reality that we've witnessed for almost a year.
"Quite the opposite' LOL. Yes show your support for Ukraine by stopping aid and letting Russia run over Ukraine. Nice support.
Stopping the aid would lead to diplomacy. Continuing the aid will lead to more Ukrainian land being destroyed and more Ukrainian people dying. But it is people like you that think Ukraine with a population of 1/5 of Russia's can somehow win a war of attrition. So yes, I do support Ukraine whereas you support their destruction.
Ukraine population 33 million
Israel population 9.5 million.
A little is still too much.
Israel has been the largest cumulative recipient of U.S. foreign aid since its founding, receiving about $310 billion (adjusted for inflation) in total economic and military assistance.
https://www.cfr.org/article/us-aid-israel-four-charts
Yes, the USA is a strong supporter of Israel.
So, then it's NOT on the "light side"?
All of it is too much.
The definition of insanity is the Harris-Biden regime calling for a Ceasefire for the past year while providing 26 Billion $$$ to Bibi Netanyahoo to continue the War for as long as he wants.
They always lie to the public. It became normal in The West. In EU they do the same. It is not insanity, it is a political culture of lie.
For some reason I can't help but think you think this is just a Biden/Harris thing and things would be different if say a 78 year old buffoon were in office.
In the Middle East, it would probably be worse, but in others areas it might be better, unless they impeach him again, first.
Isn't it strange how there are no "leaks" from insiders in the current Administration like there were with the Deep State back-stabbers when the 78-year old was in office.
I don't think it could be "worse" in the Middle East but he proved his loyalty to Israel during his first term so I don't think it would be any different.
And I agree with Trump on Ukraine. At least I think I do. I'll have to wait to see if he "stands up" to the deep state instead of folding like he did regarding Syria.
Hire someone like Haley or Bolton?
LOL I don't think you have to worry about President Trump hiring Haley or Bolton ever again. Or Romney, Cheney or Christie for that matter.
But Ivanka can be his "special adviser" again, while she continues her money making projects and selling promoting Goya beans.
Because he's never going to live in the White House again.
The warmongers in Congress love Haley and Bolton, unfortunately. But Pompeo was just as bad. One cross word about some of them and he would have been convicted in the impeachment trial by the likes of Lindsey or Cotton or some other neocon warmonger like Susan Collins.
Everyone you mentioned is a demon monster.
None of them LOve the USA common Citizen, they #hit on them many times every day! PURGE the DC Ghouls!!
Tucker/Tulsi 2028!
Anybody but a Democrat or a Republican. Unfortunately, the deep state will not allow that.
When Netanyahu put up that map with the nations that are blessed and the nations that are under a curse, he forgot to include America among the nations under a curse.
t t t t. ..tt.t t.t.t
tucker carlson?
Pompeo is the protege' of Wolfowitz, believer of the "Wolfowitz doctrine".
The 78 year old:
1. moved the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem.
2. approved of the annexation of the Golan Heights
3. approved of the annexation of the whole of the West Bank.
4. has said that the Zionists needed to "finish the job".
5. regarding Ukraine; continued the move toward the proxy war by withdrawing the U.S. from the INF Treaty, Open Skies, and, sent Javelin missiles to Ukraine.
A return of the 78 year old would mean much of the same.
Some thing that we agree on.
We can all compare what it was like under “Dictator for life” President Trump and what we have now. There is no comparison.
Regarding Israel, the unconditional loyalty is starkly comparable.
At least with President Trump we’ll know who is actually in control and making decisions.
And don't forget, the cats and dogs will be safer under Trump.
Is it really fair to the residents of Springfield, Ohio that in the past three years under Kamala-Biden their city has grown by a whopping 30% with the sudden arrival of 15,000 Haitian refugees settled there? Would you want that for your own town?
Yes. Haitian refugees, like any refugees, just seek a better life for themselves and their family, and should be welcomed.
Most people don't share your latent racism, T. Payne.
Who is T. Payne?
John Payne was a class B western movie regular in the 60s.
Also "Miracle on 34th Street" and "Tin Pan Alley".
A mass influx of people from any foreign country with different social values is never good for any community. It doesn't have anything to do with racism.
SIU, anyone who plays the race card in this situation is devoid of brain matter or hates local communities like Springfield Ohio. Probably both. 🙁
Or maybe they have empathy and realize that we, the US, creates a good portion of those in need of refuge.
Our "social values" is just fine? Admiring billionaires because they appear "successful", as they manipulate congress to keep the figurative boot on our necks as we pay the taxes billionaires avoid paying? Creating refugees in other countries as we support brutal entities in those countries? From all accounts that I have read, Haitians in that community are hard working people happy to get away from the fear and oppression in Haiti. I suppose you are in agreement with the modern day Elmer Gantry, the religious leader who blames hellish problems for the Haitians on the rebellion against French colonial powers in 1804. I think you know who I speak of.
"different social values" Translate–> non whites.
Says the ghoul who advocates the genocide of non-Whites in Palestine.
Uncle, that is a disgusting reply! Open your house to them fully and back up your mouth with action!
Springfield, Ohio is not “your house.” And it’s none of your business who decides to move/live there.
NO, NO, NO.! Impeach Bidet!
My, my, my. Racism rears its ugly head.
Is it any different when a 100,000 Polish people came to Pittsburgh to work in the steel mills over 100 years ago? Other than the color of their skin what is the difference between the two situations?
But in any case only a person suffering from FTD dementia would believe that the Haitians are eating cats and dogs in that city. Why would they, they have jobs.
Apparently, many welcome them. You're a racist just like Rightster
…. but the poor hogs will be worse off under Harris with more demand for chitlins.
Just proving that any asshole calling himself Rightstermeister is undoubtedly a racist pig?
I love my former cats and dogs, real family members. 🙂 What has been carried out in Springfield Ohio against the USA citizens there calls for the impeachment of Bidet!! KamalaLa is also guilty as hell in that invasion upon that poor city. 🙁
Roar as the lion my Brothers! 🙂
I don't find that comforting. And I bet that doesn't bring comfort to the Palestians in Gaza or the West Bank. I mean, Trump called Schumer a Palestinian. Did he mean that as a compliment?
Almost a year after the Hamas attack on Israel that killed 1200 Israelis, the GOP nominee Donald Trump has yet to visit Israel to show “solidarity” with Netanyahu. Actions speak louder than words.
More accurately, "after THE EVENTS SURROUNDING the Hamas attack on Israel that killed ~1,200 Israelis."
Evidence has come to light (in antiwar.com articles and essays) that IDF bungling, poor tactics, and other intentional or unintentional clumsiness on IDF's part resulted in significant "friendly fire" deaths on Oct 7th.
If not flat out allowing it to happen. It is known that the Zionist administration in Israeli knew of the planned breakout one year in advance.
Yes, you've pointed that out many times. And I still don't understand why you think it matters. And in this case, words would speak louder than actions. Speaking out against the slaughter instead of saying he'd make sure Israel would have had everything to get the job done would have been a nice start. Trump not visiting doesn't put any more pressure on Netanyahu to change course and welcoming him as a "friend" just emboldens him more. He has no problem kissing Trump's ass and he'll get what he wants if continues to do so.
Again Trump does not have to KIZZ "J" Azz for campaign money after being elected,,,and I doubt, after doing all the Bizzness he has done through the years is really NOT so fond of that "special" group, so better than all the rest of us ######%#. 🙂
So, right after he's elected, Trump will cut off Israel and demand that the Palestinians are given their own viable state? Sure.
BWAHAHAHAHAAHA! Good one!
That's supposition, nothing more.
Did FDR visit Adolph Hitler when he was carrying out a genocide?
True, but Hamas did not kill 1200, or rape or behead babies, or burn them alive, that is all CIA, Mossadist propaganda, lies.
Forgetting the little detail that the IDF killed hundreds of Israelis on that day. Purposely as an act of the Hannibal Doctrine in force?
A tactical decision to enhance his false image as a peace candidate.
They sure as hell have no "comfort" now! 🙁
I said things would be the SAME.
Only as much control and decision making as the deep state allows.
LOL. What tripe.
I'll take the last 4 years over Trump's term any day.
I hate Trump and hate his MAGAT supporters even more.
Just say no to the blowhard authoritarian bullshit artist.
“Just say know”. LMAO Are you deliberately trying to sound like an ignoramus on here?
Eat sh-t MAGAT.
I'm surprised an idiot like you knew how to edit your hilarious comment.
Idiot? LOL.
I went to HLS and am Phi Beta Kappa.
How ’bout you?
POS MAGAT.
That "Buffon" can only serve 1 more term, does not have to worry about re-election or raising money from the MIC or #ewish special interest, he has learned much from his first term, our best bet for ending the madness of the bidet/KamalaLa admin. 🙂
Yes, the only thing keeping Trump from being a true man of peace and liberty is him not having to worry about reelection. Then he won't use "Palestinian" as an insult as he did when he called Schumer that. Or he won't suggest that those who criticize the supreme court should be jailed. Or the 10 commandments should be displayed in public schools. Or saying he would bomb Mexico's drug cartels. Or executing drug dealers or……
And never mind that he's 78 years old and said the audience went crazy at the debate when there was no audience.
OK Bro",,so U hate him…..:(
Hate is the wrong word. My feeling is sorrow, pity. A monger for a father, a cold mother. He knows no feeling for others, just me, me, me. A sad sack of a man who has the gift of being a pied piper for people who seem to have a need for his brand of being. Not that he has ever read any of her works, but he is the personification of the perfect person as Ayn Rand described in her works: one who seeks glorification and comfort for himself, with lack of compassion for others.
I hate what pours out of his mouth. And I actually listen to it. Try it.
I am shocked you are so superficial,,so be it Bro’. 🙂
The problem isn’t with him being a lying sack of shit (if he wasn’t a lying sack of shit, he’d be the first politician who wasn’t) so much as it is that if he says something that he actually seems to believe, it’s always something incredibly stupid, something batshit insane, something irredeemably evil, or some combination of the three.
Thomas, given a choice I take Trump over KamaLaLa. Shocking that it has come to this. 🙁
Your choice is a choice of speech, not of outcome impact — your vote won’t change the outcome of the election — and that choice has far more than just those two options.
Let's be clear, Kamala Hilarious is from a middle class family.
You mean like "Make America Great Again"?
Are you kidding me Jay? What pours out of his mouth is the same shit that poured out of his mouth his first term. You remember that don't you Jay? Because as I recall, you were calling him a ballezz piece of shit yourself. Can someone interpret him wanting to bomb Mexico for me? Or what exactly he means by "finish the job" in Gaza? And no, I don't think Harris is better. In fact I think she's worse but that sure as hell isn't an endorsement of Trump or anything that would make me want to vote for him. Grow a spine and look at out ticket and vote for the best candidate. It sure as hell isn't Trump.
Its "buffoon". It does not matter who is in office in D.C.. The donor class decides what goes on. The "deep state", you know. Former British diplomat, Alistair Crook has spoken about it. Being a former diplomat and MI6 employ, I believe he has a handle on things of that nature.
Biden keeps lying about a "two state solution", then when the UN vote comes up for entrance of Palestine to join the UN, the Biden administration vetoes it. So it goes..
How about not giving Israel on thin dime.
How about Erdogon of Turkey shutting off the oil to Israel. He is a blowhard, talks a good talk, but nothing substantial happens. If he did that, coupled with our cutting off the weapons supply and support, Israel would be forced to shut down the "war" in one week.
Turkey does not supply oil to Israel. Yes oil is transmitted to Israel from other countries via tankers that load up from a pipeline that runs under Turkey. But Turkey does not control what is in that pipeline or even knows where the oil is going to.
And the US is not going to shut down support for Israel. Just not going to happen.
Good thing America is running smoothly and that $8.7 billion couldn't be put to better use here.
Who knew funding a long line of terrorist organizations would be a straight line to bankrolling a Terrorist State?
Well, this is not hard to believe…The US is funding part of the war machine! The fight has just begun, officially!!! I am officially declaring Peace on Earth and an end to ALL WAR!
What this flooding with arms and money continually establishes is that Israel cannot sustain itself. It cannot 'protect' itself, instead it is protected by the US – and with less enthusiasm by their puppets inside and outside the region – against the resistance of the real and rightful inheritors of the land who the Zionist colonizers terrorize and need the US to exterminate. They should like Kennedy said (and probably does a pointy one) all wear a bag over their heads.
Down the toilet.
Every individual that assists in that funding – clerical or management – will eventually be tried for supporting Apartheid etc. The International Community overwhelmingly defined the Likud regime as being an Apartheid gov’t last week.
No statute of limitations there.
Sorry to disagree, but this will all be shoved down the memory hole
Unlikely now that the constellation of forces has changed big time.
A few days ago a IDF soldier on vacation in Morroco was arrested for war crimes .
What a stupid statement. If you believe that, I suggest you not pay your federal taxes, because you will also be tried for apartheid.
Tim,
The proverbial sh=t is about to hit the fan.
Time to find the one true Lord: Jesus Christ.
🙂
Involuntary Taxes ??
You don't have to pay your taxes if you believe your taxes are being used for genocide. Yes, you will go to jail but is that not better than supporting genocide with your money? The point is that your idea of putting shipping clerks in jail is just absurd. Stupid. Seriously come up with something better.
Germany just put a 90+ civilian secretary (typist) in Jail for war crimes committed in 1944. she was 18 at the time.
War Crimes have no statute of limitations.
Gonna‘ be a long time coming….
No, they didn’t put her in jail. They gave her a suspended sentence.
Thanks for the correction.
That is a lot of wasted money seeing as how if they just stopped bombing Gaza this would end.
What?
"That is a lot of wasted money seeing as how if they just stopped bombing Gaza this would end."
Can you comprehend if you read again?
Oh please explain it to me. What would end if they stop bombing Gaza? The shipment of arms to Israel? No. The Gaza war ends and the kidnapped victims are return? No.
The genocide.
Who's counting? …I'm serious. It seems to me that the people who are supposed to be counting this $hit are too busy not counting this $hit!

The Biden-Harris administration: here they go again giving billions of taxpayers' money to Netanyahu for his genocide and wars of agression.
"wars of agression" ? Who attack who on Oct 7? And who started firing on Northern Israel on Oct 8?
Israel?
ISRAHELL!
So were you in a remote location on Earth with no news outlets on in October?
No you were, because you asked the question.
Who stole their land and killed their people? U steal my house, my land, my future,,don't ever expect any peace…..Israel now has zero right to exist, and really never did. Study and learn from history Timmy.
Jay, I suggested you study and learn the history of the Middle East. You may be surprised to find that in the war of 1948 both sides killed each other. And you may also learn that during that war land was also taken or as you like to call it stolen by both sides. Yes in the end Israel did take more land from the Palestinians than they lost. It is called the spoils of war. If you don't understand the concept of the spoils of war, you need to study the history of the world. You may also be surprised to find that second biggest lost of Palestinians land in 1948 was to Jordon.
Israel exists and Israel haters like you may call for its destruction. But there are 150 reasons why the destruction of Israel is not so easy. And all those reasons contain U-235 and/or PU-239.
Tim, have you joined the IDF yet? Have U already? U really have bought into the propaganda, some may call you a "useful Idiot". Live on in your ignorance, for whatever time that will be.
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin vowed Thursday that the US would continue arming Israel and brushed off the idea of the US setting red lines. “We’ve been committed from the very beginning to help Israel, provide the things that are necessary for them to be able to protect their sovereign territory and that hasn’t changed and won’t change in the future,” he said.

Austin is a puppet.
A demon infested puppet!
And no one ever elected this TURD to anything!!!
"Roar Like The Lion" MOFUS!!!
Israel is financially, morally, spiritually BANKRUPT, but continues to commit WAR CRIMES due to it's Big Brother the US of Zionist. Americans are the problem, for being ignorant, not questioning those running our Government, those working against our Constitution, our Republic. Americans are willing to sacrifice their families to go to war, but won't sacrifice their pleasures. Send the Government a message, STOP buying, stop watching sports, entertainment, stop supporting all forms of propaganda, stop supporting Zionist Corp, ETC. Spend time with your children teaching them the Constitution, Bill of Rights, etc., so they understand what America is suppose to be, a REPUBLIC. Vote OUT the Zionist Rep/Dems!
Touché ole! Good lady!
Ginah, U are 100% correct, but I fear hell will have to be visited on the USA before those that survive will wake up. 🙁
Look at Berlin in 1941, and then in 1945…….get it…:(
"Give us the tools and we'll finish the genocide." https://informationclearinghouse.blog/2024/06/21/netanyahu-give-us-the-tools-well-continue-the-genocide/16/
"finish the genocide" When are they going to start? If Israel intent was to commit "genocide" do you think the civilians casualties would be so low after 11 months?
So LOW? 800 dead Palestinian infants is too low for a ghoul like you?
So, not quick enough? Making the place an uninhabitable disease ridden cesspool means people will eventually die or be driven off their land. But if the "G" word doesn't qualify then that means it's ok with you? Just spit out. You're ok with mass death as long as you can tell yourself it doesn't meet the threshold of being a genocide.
Master race/chosen people are the same in their superiority ideology./

The US cannot lead the world fairly, whilst arming it to the teeth!…
We are hypocrites!
i.e. Israel…
As all Hell came for NAZI Germany, it's cities and population, surely and sadly it shall come for the USA. "What goes around comes around". Enjoy your lifestyle now, because if KamalaLa is elected it will soon end. "Express Elevator To Hell".
I checked CNN and some of the other media, and I cannot believe the subtle and not so subtle cheering of the actions of Israel as if Israeli sh*t does not stink. Completely absent is any mention that Israel is purposely hitting civilian targets to kill civilians in order to promote fear. Completely absent is the war conducted by Israel surpasses all red lines as to crimes against humanity. It is Israel this,Israel that, without regard to history. Harris echoed Biden in saying that the Hezbollah leaders death was "justice". Where is the justice for the dead women, children in Gaza and now Lebanon? Where???
Remember Dresden and Hiroshima.
Where is all this money for Israel and Ukraine coming from?
