It was a logistical snafu. Other shipments are not delayed. CNN
Back to your regularly scheduled Genocide.
-
Just the weekly gaslighting from the Biden admistration that they're not trying to help israel commit Genocide as hard as possible.
Nothing to see here everyone. Don't forget to vote for Genocide Joe in November!
-
Nah vote for third party or trump because trump winning will absolutely help Palestinians and totally not hurt them greatly. /s
-
Well at least we'll have Genocide Trump and the important thing - the ick of having to vote for Genocide Joe and be responsible for everything he does - will be mitigated.
-
Are you a Trump voter regardless of this issue? I think you are. That, or your just here parroting propaganda.
No sane person is going to let Trump win over Biden because of this. Trump has openly supported Israel and their genocide more than Biden ever has or will.

It was probably because the munitions didn't fit in the cargo plane with the fighter jets and armored vehicles that were due to be shipped.
Hopefully it's just a minor delay and we can get back to killing children soon 🤞

When Hamas raided Israel they did not think through the consequences of their actions. These types of actions will be taken personally by members of the US ruling class. The ruling class will punish Hamas and the Palestinians through the Jews. That's just how it works. Many people don't really like the way it works. The US made 1948 Israel possible and will turn a blind eye while Israel does what it has to. Most Americans don't like that, but know this is how it works.

"Biden is still evil because... " In 3 2 ...
-
Because he approved the last 5 shipments of weapons?
Because he's knowingly obscuring war crimes on behalf of Israel?
Because he keeps vetoing overwhelmingly supported UN resolutions against Israel?
Because he refuses to acknowledge university protests as anti genocide?
Because he waited 6 months before deciding to stop funding a genocide?
Because this report is still fresh and could mean literally nothing because the White House has not responded with comment?

This article is shit, and it's not a political thing, just a logistical error.

Good, now start with the sanctions.
Sanctions disproportionately hurt innocent civilians. Sanctioning individuals is one thing but entire nations shouldn’t be sanctioned. I thought we learned our lesson from Cuba but apparently not
Edit: for all the neolibs and righties downvoting me, this probably won’t do much to convince you. For anyone else, here’s an explanation on why sanctions are a terrible idea:

Here’s an in depth look at why sanctions fail:

Basically, the entire point of sanctions if to hurt civilians. The logic is supposed to be that they will rise up and force a political change due to being angry and, often, starving to death. But that rarely happens. We just end up torturing poor people while wealthy elites get by just fine.
You know what hurts innocent civilians even more? Bombing them.
Isn't that part of the point? If the populace suffers, government changes are more likely
Sanctions have been used many times since Cuba with varying success.
I’d say this situation calls for them to protect other innocent civilians.
Aren't we currently sanctioning Russia, North Korea and Iran?
