US secretly increased weapons supplies to Israel – Bloomberg

The US Department of Defense has allegedly ramped up weapons deliveries to Israel without making any public announcements, Bloomberg has reported. The media outlet claimed that the deliveries of artillery shells, which supposedly feature prominently on Israel’s wish list, continue despite protests by dozens of relief organizations.

The US has for decades been Israel’s closest ally and a major supplier of weapons. Following Hamas’ surprise attack on the country on October 7, Washington quickly came to Israel’s rescue, providing it with Iron Dome air defense missiles and smart bombs.

In its report on Wednesday, Bloomberg, citing an internal Defense Department list dated late October, claimed that the Pentagon had been dipping into its stocks at home and in Europe to furnish Israel with 36,000 rounds of 30mm cannon ammunition and approximately 2,000 Hellfire Laser Guided missiles for the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The list also included 57,000 155mm High Explosive artillery shells, as well as mortars, rifles, and night vision devices, among other items. Israel reportedly requested 200 armor-piercing Switchblade 600 strike drones, which the US military does not have in its inventory.

When asked for comment, the Defense Department said in a statement that it was “leveraging several avenues — from internal stocks to US industry channels – to ensure Israel has the means to defend itself.” Officials added that “this security assistance continues to arrive on a near-daily basis.”

Bloomberg pointed out that the deliveries have apparently continued despite the Biden administration publicly calling on Israel to exercise restraint and try to avoid civilian casualties during its ongoing operation against Hamas in Gaza.

On Monday, thirty relief groups sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, urging him to halt the deliveries of 155mm shells in particular. They argued that, since Gaza is “one of the world’s most densely populated places, 155mm artillery shells are inherently indiscriminate.”

On Tuesday, the US House of Representatives approved a bill proposed by Speaker Mike Johnson over the weekend to avoid a looming government shutdown this Friday.

Aid for Ukraine and Israel is conspicuously absent from the stopgap legislation, which aims to secure funding for US government agencies through mid-January and early February.

The Biden administration originally asked Congress last month to approve a massive $106 billion assistance package for Ukraine and Israel. However, Republicans opposed the plan, leading to a political deadlock.

You saying that only hurts you. Your tax dollars are still going to support them.

Looks like you’re the one that’s fucked.

The Christians are the slaves of the Jews. If the US government was instructed by Israel to nuke one of its own States, it would do it.

‘The Christians are the slaves of the Jews.’

All Gentiles are the slaves of the Jews.

Let me correct you both…

We Christians are servants of The KING of The Jews.

Let us be clear on that point. If you have a problem with His Agenda? Take it up with Him.

Why are we giving money to the people who use it to do despicable evil to their and our neighbors.
To make Hell on earth, the Ashkenazi, the ones who want to make this earth a replica of the true Jewish homeland, which is Hell.
We should be using that money to make this world a better world, more like Heaven, for everyone on earth.
When America’s judgement day comes, that is the sin God will put to them, and the reason that America will be cast down and burn as the whore of Babylon, Mystery Babylon the great. It had great wealth and could have used it for all God’s children on earth to all live in a heavenly world, but instead they gave it to Satan’s Frankenstein living dead progeny: the Ashkenazi. To enable these demonic beings the ashkenazi to make this world into a duplicate of Hell, with endless, useless, senseless, insane, barbaric, civilian killing, wars to genocide God’s children, to cause maximum carnage, suffering, and torture all over this world, so that it would be fit for the many demons who enter through the veil, only when this world becomes a replica of Hell. Already the lights in the sky have come to Gaza. They come during every war. They are not UFO’s they are demons like the Ashkenazi from Hell who come to ruin the creation God created to be made in the image and likeness of God’s true homeland: Heaven.
They come to possess the children of God, and ruin their souls aso they can be guided by demons to Hell after they die. Just like the Ashkenazi do to all our government leaders, they totally control them like they are possessed by demons and they guide them to eternal Hell, by taking them from God with $$$, and making them kill their own souls, and become dark, evil and insane, exact replicas of the deranged Ashkenazi, little mini me Satans.
When and where the child sacrifice to Moloch rituals occur, the fallen angels of Hell are pleased, and God is offended and disgusted by those who took part in it, and allowed it and did not prevent it.
Making God disgusted and thoroughly finished with America is all that money and weapons accomplished for the broken dead soul, of America that was given so much wealth and so much good, by God’s grace, but used it only to do evil, by serving Satan.
