Unlike the United States’ publicly documented military aid to Ukraine, it was impossible to get the full details of what the U.S. has shipped Israel since last Oct. 7, so the $17.9 billion for the year is a partial figure, the researchers said.
They cited Biden administration “efforts to hide the full amounts of aid and types of systems through bureaucratic maneuvering.”
Healthcare pls
I could seriously use a dermatologist and a dentist… like months ago.
And houses, to be given to the homeless.

Why is the US sending weapons and money to Israel to help it commit genocide?
we are sending them Military Equipment that we already spent money on
Oh cool, sunk-cost genocide 😐
“Military vs healthcare” is a red herring, because “how are you going to pay for it” is a red herring. We can have one or the other, or both, or neither.
A much better argument is one of labor and resource allocation. A country has only so much productive capacity, and people being employed by the military industry are not doing socially useful work.
Yes. If everyone’s labor is allocated to killing people, that leaves no labor leftt to cure people.
I wish the media would explain just how much money this is so the uninformed don’t just think it’s a high number. This is quite literally 17,900 stacks of 1 millions dollars each. It’s insane, but there seem to be plenty of people out there who don’t understand how large of a number this really is.
Lots of people here frame this as a Biden and Harris policy. While the Senate is evenly split between parties, the House is majority Republican. Congress is where this money is allocated. And Trump is rabidly anti-Muslim. But sure, frame aid as Biden and Harris only. Never mind what will happen once Trump wins the election.
The genocide is bipartisan, and Biden is in power right now. It’s framed as Biden policy, because it literally is.

No its about stopping a genocide you ghoul. It’s hard to make the situation worse than it is. Biden is obligated to stop arms sales years ago.

Read The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine and never speak again.
The lack of self-awareness in this post is staggering.
10% of Gaza is estimated to be dead and another 20% are under siege in what is in all likelihood an extermination operation right now.
once Trump wins, the Gaza protests will wither and stop.
What the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to tell me that the overwhelming Muslim or leftist progressive protesters want a Trump presidency? How the fuck does that make sense?
It will happen regardless of who wins the election, because imperialism is bipartisan. And it’s not about Biden or Harris or Trump: the Republican and the Democratic candidates were always going to be supportive of imperialism. The Republican & Democratic political machines aren’t going to float anti-imperialists on the general election ballot.
Biden has dozen of options to halt all arms sales to Israel whenever he wants. He is obligated to do so by both international and US law because of the blatant war crimes and attacks on aid workers but go off I guess.
Biden has literally bypassed congress to send more arms to Israel than what was allocated.
“Out, damned spot; out, I say.”
genocide isn’t going to do itself
