The Biden administration for the second time this month has bypassed Congress to approve the transfer of nearly $150 million in military equipment to Israel
Secretary of State Antony Blinken informed Congress that he has made an emergency determination to immediately approve the transfer of “155mm ancillary items including fuzes, charges, and primers that make 155mm shells functional,” a State Department spokesperson said Friday.
The spokesperson said the additional items were added to previous sales, which “increased the total value of the sale to $147.5 million.”
Earlier this month, the administration rushed forward a sale of thousands of munitions to Israel, bypassing the standard 20-day period that congressional committees are typically afforded to review such a sale. The State Department sent an emergency declaration to the oversight committees that more than 13,000 tank shells would be delivered to Israel without any “further information, details or assurances.”
Ukraine has been at war since the beginning of 2022. Israel started their genocide only three months ago. Biden is doing everything in his power for israel right now, not for Ukraine. He removed all weapons restrictions for israel on civilian casualties because normally the US wouldn’t even be able to give weapons to such a genocide.
The three aircraft carriers next to israel to protect them aren’t even counted under their aid package. Nor is America defending israel against attacks from Yemen. Nor is the direct amount of American intelligence israel is receiving.
Israel has barely taken any damage so far and already they are getting 14.3 billion to bombard Gaza with. And israel is getting the high tech stuff not the hand me downs like Ukraine.
If a large scale war would develop because of retaliation against israel, there is no doubt Biden would drop Ukraine in a heartbeat and send everything to israel.
Currently though Ukraine is fighting a world superpower called Russia with a population of 140 million and a massive gas field economy, while israel is “fighting” Hamas, a group of 30.000 members in a population of 2 million on a small strip of land with zero economy.
And they are getting 1/4 the budget for it, direct military aid and priority over Ukraine. Ukraine’s budget seems to also go down by the amount given to israel.
