The Biden administration agreed to transfer thousands more bombs to Israel the same day World Central Kitchen workers were killed in Israeli airstrikes.

The State Department approved the transfer of more than 1,000 MK82 500-pound bombs, over 1,000 small-diameter bombs, and fuses for MK80 bombs, all from authorizations granted by Congress several years before the latest hostilities between Israel and Hamas began, said the U.S. officials, who like others spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive arms deals.

Officials have not publicly disclosed what type of munition struck the aid truck, but the small-diameter bombs the United States has provided to Israel are “certainly comparable,” said Josh Paul, a former State Department arms expert who resigned in protest of the administration’s Gaza policy.

    No no assure you, everyone who hates Biden is either MAGA or a Russian bot. It cannot have anything to do with his long, long, political history like supporting the Iraq war, supporting NAFTA, worsening the student loan situation by excluding them from personal bankruptcy, his crime bills that drastically increased the imprisonment of POC minorities, his introduction of the original patriot act and strong endorsement of its final form, his ratcheting up of Trump’s border policy, his lying about having seen decapitated dead babies, lying about having been arrested to see Nelson Mandela, voting for a constitutional amendment to allow states to overturn Roe v Wade, or his voting to to end federal funding to provide abortions to victims of rape and incest, supporting capital punishment until 2019, and on and on and on. No, it’s Russian bots! That’s the only logical explanation!
