Current Events > Trump administration plans $6.4 billion in weapons sales to Israel

WASHINGTON, Sept 19 (Reuters) - The Trump administration is seeking congressional approval to sell Israel $6.4 billion in support equipment and weapons including attack helicopters and troop carriers, people familiar with the matter said on Friday.

Israel's military said it had expanded operations in Gaza City on Friday and bombarded Hamas infrastructure, while displaced Palestinians traumatized by the advance said they had no means to flee.

The news of the proposed sale came days before world leaders were set to gather in New York for the annual United Nations General Assembly next week, which the U.N. Security Council is also due to hold a high-level meeting on Gaza.
The planned package includes a deal worth $3.8 billion for 30 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters and $1.9 billion for 3,250 infantry assault vehicles for the Israeli army.

Another $750 million worth of support parts for armored personnel carriers and power supplies are also working its way through the sale process, one of the people said.

The Republican president's full-throated support for Israel's military contrasts with growing wariness about Israel's assault on Gaza among Democrats.

On Thursday, a group of U.S. senators introduced the first Senate resolution to urge recognition of a Palestinian state and more than half of Democrats in the Senate recently voted against further arms sales.

The Wall Street Journal reported the potential helicopter and vehicle sales on Friday.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

I don't really have anything to add to this. No one should be surprised by this.

Sounds like 6.4 billion reasons to abandon Dems again.

Is this that "worse genocide" that rocket scientists couldnt see?

I think they're still trying to figure that out.

Make another 500 thread about Biden.

Last one was when that book came out.

I know it's not surprising but it's still fucking gross, man. I'm tired. Of this country.

And before someone asks, on the latter, "By "this country", do you mean the US or Israel?" My response is "Yes"

The Champions of Gaza have yet another recent event to add to their ever-growing ignore list.

Any government that has sold, or is selling, arms to Israel since the ethnic cleansing of Gaza began should be ashamed of their complicity in mass slaughter.

Thank god we abandoned Harris.

They should plan 6.4 billion in payouts to Trump's previously 12-year-old victims.

We did it Reddit!

Before the election Trump said Israel needs to finish the job. But owning the Biden admin was far more important to some people than keeping the clown out.

I hope this doesn't get approved but I'm not holding my breath, I don't know if the Dems have the numbers to block this (assuming they all voted to block).

What comes first, Trump getting the power to skip the Congress in everything he wants, or it is illegal to be Democrat?

lmao expecting any meaningful action against Israel

I'd bet an enormous amount of money on congress turning on Trump before saying no to Israel.

I have no expectation sadly, Congress is pretty bipartisan on this

You have to be careful with talk like that. Some people on this board will accuse you of supporting Trump for implying that this was a problem under both Biden and Trump.

lol stop saying shit like that

Pointing out that dems have also been complicit in this genocide is not the same thing as supporting Trump

Man Don deserves three peace prizes now.

Obviously it's not. Certain people on this board just keep acting like it is.

I'm as shocked as a monkey that Trump is making the genocide worse

None of us have forgotten what you guys did, despite how badly you'd like us to.

Btw, is Gaza still speaking? I mean you guys did save them from the tyrannical Harris regime.

I don't even remember posting on this board much until after the election, I only started coming here consistently after because i was dismayed by the news.

Since you're evidently trying to gaslight me, I went to the other site to check all my CE posts logged there before the election, and I have a single post where I said that "Biden's handling of the issue is disastrous" while at the same time saying "we should spend less energy being mad at liberals and more trying to get people to vote for Biden."

What is your problem

So no payout to the Epistein victims huh? This country is a joke.

Yes yes, we know, we know.

*dismissive hand wave*

NONE of you did the things we all saw you do. Nope, not one. Just ask all of them (the ones who didn't lose their CE access, that is.)

How am I a part of the group when I was not a part of them?

I think you're just angry that I called you a loser, and you're really not proving me wrong

What a shock it is all offensive weaponry.

Hard to sell the "just protecting ourselves" bullshit but we know they will try.

These will immediately go right to the front lines to help murder Palestinians still having the gall to try to live in their own country.

It's all so fucking evil.

Do you have a memory issue?

I am not trying to be mean when I ask that. I legitimately want to know, do you have some sort of memory issue?

I have literally told you specifically that I am not a democrat. I told you I was non partisan / independent. I have never claimed to be a democrat. Me being a democrat or not also has nothing to do with my positions.

My posts before the election are logged onto another site, I have no reason to lie when it can be verified.

This is the lamest attempt at a gotcha I have ever seen on this board.

You continue to prove the loser allegations.

EDIT: Also I'm not a guy, and normally I wouldn't take much issue with that assumption but since you seem to like stalking me so much I have a feeling you're already aware I'm not one, unless that's another memory issue?

LOL...Actually went with the "non-partisan / Independent" route. Throw Centrist in there next time also.

And you continue to prove that you have nothing by resorting to name calling.

Why are you continuing to badmouth the only party in a position to stop american fascism?

This is like saying the WTC bombing in 1993 under Clinton was just as bad as 9/11.

Exactly, it's been a problem under all of them since it's been an applicable situation.

(For those of you wondering, we've reached the part where the CoG in question flees the topic without ever answering the simple question posed. If you're noting my lack of surprise, it's because it's not new.)

Dude, I went to work. This is what I mean. This behavior is pathetic.

And I also gave an answer for this question in the Shapiro topic.

Yeah yeah, sure sure. *dismissive hand wave* That's why you kept posting in the other "dems are bad" topics, right?

In any case, now maybe you'd like to answer why anyone should think you're a dem when you say things like this even as Trump and republicans are openly tearing the country down.
