At least nine Palestinians have been killed and more than 40 wounded in the ongoing operation, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian health ministry, which Israel has dubbed “Operation Iron Wall.””
Pure ideology. What a joke. The institutions of the state do not exist as divine arbiter of truth.
Biden is a genocider because he did everything in his power to provide arms to a state engaged in genocide. Given the level of dependence the idf has on us arms, if Biden made the decision to stop arming Israel, the genocide in Palestine couldn’t have been sustained for more than a few weeks at best.
It is just blatantly counterfactual to state that Israel has the military means to continue the genocide without us military aid.
Some stats on us-israel military cooperation
Israel not only received 22 billion* dollars in aid (the second biggest military spender china spends 140 billion per year ), but also buys almost all it’s military equipment from the us. Israel’s airforce for instance is fitted with us produced planes.
