###A new batch of American weapons of 1800 MK84 missiles reach Tel Aviv from Washington.
These are 2000 pounds (085kg) bombs. Used by Israel to destroy large number of residential buildings in #Gaza before.
The weight of weapons sent by Pentagon during this shipment exceeds the total "humanitarian aid" US have sent to Gaza since the start of the Israeli attacks.
I'm about to reach out to a pro-palestine group to encourage them to set up a #mastodon presence. What would be a good instance to recommend? Pls :boostplease: for visibility.
Norman Finkelstein explains #GenocideJoe 's pitiful obsequiousness to #Israel :
"There is a Jewish billionaire class, and since Oct. 7, it's gone mad. . . . They toppled two Ivy League college presidents. They are that ruthless, and they have that much power." (Around 1:03:00)
Having done a second click-through, the website is sparse on details, and they seem to do most of their organizing on the usual platforms (though I can't see them at all). Someone should let them know that they'd get a lot of support around here.
US Senator Bernie #Sanders criticized the #Biden administration after reports emerged of the #US providing Israel with more bombs that were responsible for killing thousands of innocent Palestinians in #Gaza.
According to The Washington Post, the #Biden administration will authorize the transfer of 2,000-pound bombs and other weapons to Israel despite a growing divide with the Israeli government.
The new arms packages will include over 1,800 MK84 2,000-pound bombs and 500 MK82 500-pound bombs, as reported by #Pentagon and State Department officials.
The 2,000-pound bombs have been associated with Israeli massacres of targeting and destroying civilian blocks in #Gaza, killing thousands of Palestinian women and children. The State Department has also approved the transfer of 25 F-35A fighter jets and engines, valued at approximately $2.5 billion, according to U.S. officials.
@Helgi Why are people like you always come up with shit like this acting like you know what you are talking about?
This is about #GenocideJoe sending bombs to a country comitting genocide against people who have no air defense, military or way of defending themselves.
These are 2000 pounds dropped in densely populated areas killing innocent people.
It has NOTHING to do with Russia or Soviet or freaking Ukraine.
@faab64@palestine@israel “In more than 70 phone calls and meetings with leaders from all over the world — from [US President Joe] Biden to Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro — President Abbas always stressed that he's against what Hamas did on October 7 and that Hamas is not representative of the Palestinian people,”
"The main event was an onstage conversation with the three U.S. presidents moderated by late-night talk show host Stephen Colbert, but people began disrupting it just 10 minutes into their conversation, as Biden was talking, with protesters calling on the president to stop arming Israel and to enforce a ceasefire in Gaza."
Thousands of protesters outside Radio City Music Hall made their voices heard too.
@figstick@palestine@israel this post just earned you a #block from a supporter of Palestine. You are way off the mark on this one with your “tasteless joke” comment.
And people will still block you for forcing them to look at grisly images without their consent.
It's fine to be angry; it's never helpful to try to force people to look at anything they are not intentionally trying to see, especially if it's disturbing to the extent that they will ignore you completely (which is presumably the opposite of your intended effect).
Voting #uncommitted, disrupting appearances, and speaking continuously about #Gaza are arguably what got #GenocideJoe to abstain from the #UN resolution today.
Whereas #BlueMAGA 's even more constant and obsessive shouting about #TFG didn't do jack shit to sway the #US legal system.
Funny how you make more progress when your priorities are in order.
It's because they have no real organization or political power. It is actually essential to the Democrats that they have no organization because if they did, they might start demanding things. Of course, this also means that they have no real political power to achieve/defeat (Im not going to learn their cult language) #TFG or whatever, so they're destined to lose.
