The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The transaction, which would amount to the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since the country went to war with Hamas on October 7, comes as the administration is also expected to notify Congress soon of a large new sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Israel, the people said.
The new sales of some of the US’ most sophisticated weaponry underscore the extent to which the US continues to support Israel militarily, even as Biden administration officials criticize Israel’s operations in Gaza, which have killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since October, according to the Gaza ministry of health.
Yeah I’m still gonna have to go with supplying defensive weapons.
If nothing else there are children there.
They should have considered the children before they went all in on bombing and starving other people’s kids
So you are ok with children dying as long as they are the “right” children?
I’m going to have to ask you to really think about that view.
If I make horrible decisions my kid will suffer the consequences. That’s why I don’t go around doing horrific crimes.
That’s not what I asked.
I’m OK with children dying as long as they aren’t my children. Is that what you want to hear? Israel doesn’t get to murder thousands of children and then hide behind their own. Fuck off.
No you can freely fuck yourself though.
Kids are kids, they are subjected to adults whims.
You are a bad person if you are ok with the killing of any children.
Congratulations you’ve become what you seek to destroy.
You should take a long look at yourself.
Have the day you deserve
There’s a reason war crimes are a thing. Most of humanity is on board with not targeting civilians, especially children; along with fair treatment of prisoners and not using indiscriminate weapons, because they hope their enemies will afford them the same mercy. When you violate those rules you place your entire country in grave danger. Israel knows this, but they act with impunity thinking they’re untouchable. If it turns out that they can’t defend themselves then it’s their mistake and the results are natural and expected. It’s tragic, but it’s not unjustified.
Also, you don’t get to win an argument on the internet by dismissing the person you’re arguing with. Good afternoon.
I’m not dismissing you, I just don’t see how two completely viewpoints can be combined.
You are under the impression that because Israel is killing children we should allow the same.
We should not.
It’s no different than Israel saying that they can kill Palestinian children and it is ok.
I reject all viewpoints that think it is ok to kill children.
Especially the viewpoint that we should lower ourselves to terroristic standards.
Isn’t that the exact reason we are against Israel right now?
Why is it ok just because the targets are different.
Our principles are the things we do even when no one is looking.
My principle is that it is NEVER ok to kill children.
What is yours?
