Biden said he would send aid to help rebuild Gaza after Israeli airstrikes. But wait, didn’t the U.S. help pay for those bombs? In this #minirant @MehdiRHasan argues we wouldn't need to spend so much on aid for Gaza if we didn’t spend so much on arms for Israel. Start the clock!

Israelis have the right to kill Palestinians. Palestinians have the right to kill Israelis. Everyone happy now?
Netanyahu bombed Palestinian homes, infrastructure, killed and maimed civilians. Biden approved $735 million in weapons sales. Defund Israeli war crimes and apartheid. Write your Senators and Representative. Contact info here: senate.gov/senators/senators… house.gov/representatives/fi…

Netanyahu IDF's destruction of Gaza and murder of 248 Palestinians including 66 children and destruction of homes is reminiscent of Lidice. Nazi German SS massacred 173 men, 203 women and 105 children and set the village on fire in reprisal for action by partisans in 1942.

If we don't send $1 billion to Iran, a major supporter of groups like Hamas, then Hamas won't have the rocket infrastructure needed to bomb Israel, & Israel won't need to retaliate.

لعنة الله عليك يا سافل كيف تقارن بين إسرائيل الدولة محتلة التي تقتل أبناء الشعب الفلسطيني والسعودية التي تحارب مليشيا الحوثي الإرهابية في اليمن
The USA gives $3.8 billion yearly to Israel to holster up a apartheid regime alongside giving some million to Gaza after a number of airstrikes. What’s the definition of hypocrisy?

I think you're definitely on to something there. The Palestinians elected Hamas, who subsequently spend no money on food, medicine or infrastructure, but rather on rockets that force Israel to shoot missiles to eliminate the rockets... @bariweiss

War-never any winners, such a waste of treasures.

The question is which regime in the U.S. paid for the bombs?

Gaza has underground networks that allows Hamas to receive funds and arms from Iran. Until Iran stops funding Hamas, the United States will continue to supply weapons to Israel to defend itself with. Often they will go overboard, but it’s the tragic reality.
