Does Israel need any aid? Shirley they have more than enough modern weaponry and ammo to kill every single Palestinian if they really want to

They absolutely do, but don't call me Shirley

Who will provide the Palestinians with missiles that are accurate enough to hit their military targets tho?

Yeah surely the root cause of this conflict was a lack of American arms.
Who said it was?
It's not like Israel needs any more weapons against a rag-tag bunch of terrorists whose existence they - arguably indirectly - continue to foment.
Yes, I know Israel's take on the matter is that the existence of Hamas is precisely why cruelty to Palestine is "necessary" rather than the other way around, but at this point does it matter whether the chicken or the egg came first? Those who say yes on both sides - even if they differ about which came first - are using it as a crutch at this point.
The whole thing now is a big kid stomping the ever-loving fk out of a smaller kid because "he kicked my shin! he kicked my shin!" so that obviously makes whatever they do OK, and in fact, let's have some other big kids (one wearing a stars and stripes shirt of all things?!) help out with the stomping.
And tomorrow, had this not suddenly escalated, the original big kid would have gone through the smaller kid's pockets for lunch money, and maybe a house or two like usual.
(Please note that - goofy metaphors aside - I'm not happy about the civilian deaths that have occurred recently, regardless of what the dead might have believed while they were alive. In war, it's almost always the wrong people who die.)
Yep, even Biden has to know that's not it. Doesn't matter, if he didn't send something he would be accused of being a member of Hamas who eats babies or something.
