Israeli forces clashed with Hamas militants across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Israeli military said, deepening its engagement in the decimated enclave even as the Palestinian death toll from relentless airstrikes in 12 weeks of war soared higher.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that 165 people had been killed in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks in the previous 24 hours, adding to the ministry’s toll of more than 21,500 people killed in Gaza since the war began with the Oct. 7 Hamas-led raids into Israel.

Genocide Joe just bypassed Congress for another 150 million in artillery and 13.000 tank shells to blindly fire into every building they see and destroy as much infrastructure as possible.

Not sure what pressure he is putting on there.

I'm not sure if you never opened a history book, but when has the US not provided weapons to someone for money?

Then tell me why he needed to bypass Congress to force this through?

The difference is that the US gives israel tens of billions of taxpayer dollars for free to "buy them". Even the current "sale" is probably just gojng to be "paid" for by a loan which will be refunded within a few months.

America is not gaining any money from this. It's only losing them money.
