*The US has shipped close to 30,000 bombs to Israel since the start of the genocidal war in Gaza* The Cradle, News Desk, July 11 https://thecradle.co/articles/washington-lifts-hold-on-shipment-of-500lb-bombs-for-israel
The US government has lifted a two-month hold on shipments of 500-pound bombs for Israel, according to US officials who spoke with Reuters on 10 July. In early May, the White House announced a hold on a shipment of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs to Israel, citing “concerns” these would be used to flatten Gaza’s southernmost city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had taken refuge at the time. Nevertheless, despite earlier warnings from US President Joe Biden and EU states that a full-scale military operation on Rafah would be considered a “red line,” the Israeli army has destroyed the city with impunity, killing scores of Palestinians along the way. . . . Despite its hold on this particular shipment, the US has not slowed down weapons deliveries to Israel since the start of the genocidal war on 7 October, shipping over 27,000 bombs to Tel Aviv, including 14,000 2,000-pound bombs. # # # -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
