The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.

The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

    So the dems are dumb for not fighting fascism with fascism? You can’t save democracy by destroying it. That “ends justify the means” thinking is why the republican party ended up this way. Why would republicans in congress want to disenfranchise themselves by installing a dictator? They’re just morons grasping for conspiracy theories to win elections, without thinking about the long term consequences. Maybe I’m naive, but save for the few actual lunatics (like MTG), I’m sure many republicans would turn on Trump the instant they felt they could get away with it, especially now
