US: “don’t drop bombs or we will stop giving you bombs. Also here’s some extra bombs just in case”

[–] retrospectology@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

"Oh, Ok, I see you're dropping the bombs, that's fine, just don't send any soldiers on foot, here are some guns, bullets and tank shells......whats that? Ok yeah, here's some Zyklon-B you just have to promise not to use it on Palestinians."

The US is currently only supplying Iron Dome defense. No bombs have shipped since Israel announced the Rafah attack plans.
