Biden Goes Past Congress to Sell Weapons to Israel

On December 29, 2023, the Biden regime announced that it would circumvent Congress for the second time in December to approve an immediate weapons sale to Israel as it continues its brutal military campaign in Gaza.
The Biden regime alluded to “the urgency of Israel’s defensive needs,” to justify its weapons shipment to the Jewish state.
Per an Associated Press report, United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed elected officials of the new emergency sale of $147.5 million in equipment which consisted of fuses, charges, and primers for 155mm artillery shells that Israel has already bought from the US.
“The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to ensure Israel is able to defend itself against the threats it faces,” the State Department highlighted.
The move comes after a similar State Department announcement on December 9, which rushed 13,000 rounds of tank rounds to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
Several of the most lethal Israeli attacks in this conflict have featured the use of American weapons.
The State Department stressed that “we continue to strongly emphasize to the government of Israel that they must not only comply with international humanitarian law, but also take every feasible step to prevent harm to civilians.”
The US regime already doles out nearly $4 billion in unconditional military aid. Since Hamas’ October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, US President Joe Biden has repeatedly emphasized his “unwavering” support for Israel. Brett Wilkins of Antiwar.com noted that the Biden regime has blocked multiple global ceasefire attempts at the United Nations while pushing for an additional $14.3 billion in military aid for Israel.
The US government has already supplied Israel with over $150 billion in inflation-adjusted aid since the Jewish state’s founding in 1948.
Let’s face it. Israel owns the US. The Zionist lobby is firmly entrenched in Capitol Hill and wields frightening degrees of power
What this interest group is capable of is no joke. It’s no stretch to say that this group could have the US sleepwalk into a broader conflict in the Middle East against a regional power in Iran.
The complete extrication of Zionist elements in the US government is of the essence if we want genuine peace.
