The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.
The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).
The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.
False. What is going on in Sudan could easily be prevented. It’s just that no one gives a shit enough to do anything about it except those of us who take part in human rights campaigns.
Where on the planet do you live that you can communicate with people on Lemmy but can’t contact a single politician anywhere else? There are literally form emails you could spend if you took seconds of time out of your day.
But I realize that’s not fun like arguing about an election that was decided last year.
How so? I’m seriously asking here. The only people with a hand on the steering wheel here are the UAE to my knowledge.
Good thing you asked. I’m an Egyptian studying in Japan. The former is an autocratic police state and the latter both isn’t involved in Palestinian affairs beyond occasionally giving aid and doesn’t really care what foreigners think. So I guess if there’s a politician out there who actually cares about what I have to say I’d love to hear about them.
I didn’t realize there were only two countries with politicians you could contract or that there were any you could contact in those countries about using their ability to talk to the media (an ability that you presumably don’t have) about the genocide. Or any genocide.
Or even just join a human rights campaign. They have very public websites. I guess those websites are banned in Japan. And that VPNs are also banned if they are.
My mistake. Do go on endlessly talking about an election that happened a month ago and pretending there’s absolutely nothing you could do.
