The United States is expected to lift its hold on the shipment of ammunition and weapons designated for the IDF, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Office said on Tuesday, just one day after the Israeli leader accused the Biden administration of preventing the delivery of those arms.
“US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew told Prime Minister Netanyahu yesterday that the ammunition and weapons that the PM referred to are in the process of being delivered to Israel,” the PMO wrote in an English language post on X.
Fuck little hitler

Removed, civility. Tempted to throw a temp ban for “Your” as well.
So you are threatening me with dictatorship?
Nope, informing you of the rules, read the sidebar.
I did doesn’t say anything about bans for grammar, which you threatened. Of which I took a screen shot of for when you remove my comments
Don’t feed the trolls.
surely its obvious by now - “bibi” just wants to solve the starving palestinian kid crisis with american bullets. gotta throw a tantrum so kind old uncle sam will feed more quarters into the genocide machine and keep those pesky Israeli elections at bay.
edit: from the article
US Representative Richie Torres (D-NY) wrote a message to Netanyahu on X, stating “If you are looking to undermine the bipartisanship of the US-Israel relationship, then release a public video attacking the Biden Administration, which, despite hysterical opposition from the far left, has held firm in support of Israel for eight months and counting.
hey, NY… you gonna do anything about this conflicted, homicidal piece of sh*t?
edit 2: regarding my comment on Torres - anyone unable to distinguish between hamas and an 8yo Palestinian kid is not fit for public office. and if they can, but choose violence on the kid, well f*ck them, “progressive” or not. when people show you who they are, believe them.
Kids aren’t starving anymore if they’re dead. Fuck Netanyahu and fuck Israel
Weekly gaslight over. Happy Genocide weekend.
And a happy propaganda weekend to you as well.
It astounds me that Biden is still in thrall to this guy. He’s basically deliberately sabotaging Biden’s re-election chances and Biden just keeps protecting him.
I’m not for American hegemony, but the fact is that Israel is dependent on US, not the other way around. Biden needs to flex that power to shut this idiot up.
The only explanation I’ve been able to come up with for why Biden refuses to do anything but jerk Netanyahu off, even as Netanyahu spits in his face over and over is that Israeli intelligence has some kind of destructive kompromat on Biden. It’s the only way it makes sense.

Any geopolitical role that Israel fulfills could easily be filled by Turkey. Israel offers very little for the US, at this point it can’t even be said that they’re really an ally democracy (if they ever were). It’s a hyper-militaristic apartheid state.
But that’s kind of my point, Israel is indeed a client of the US and, whatever you think about US hegemony, Israel shouldn’t be calling the shots here in terms of the support we do or don’t give them. It makes Biden look so incredibly weak to tolerate the endless slaps to the face from Netanyahu’s tantrum and for them to dump money into our elections without a single Dem leader calling for a ban on AIPAC money. It makes no sense even from an imperialist perspective or a security perspective or however one wants to frame it, nevermind the clear moral depravity of continuing to send them aid.
Even Ronald Reagan withheld munitions from Israel when they indiscrimately bombed Lebanon and literally described it as a holocaust right to the Prime Minister’s face. It literally took less than a half hour after that call for the Israeli PM to halt the bombing.
I despise Reagan, but if even someone as despicable as him can understand how to wield political power to bring the Israeli far-right to heel, Biden has no excuse. Which is why I think there has to be something else going on here.

That’s a real possibility, yeah, there is no doubt that he is a Zionist. And I don’t mean to speak with more certainty than it really warrants, it’s more just difficult to really believe he’s not coming around to the fact that the far-right “forever war” Israeli government is not only bad for the US, but even makes Israelis themselves less safe by perpetuating conflict and stoking the cycle of violence.
He is perhaps a Zionist without the stomach for ethnic cleansing that’s required to fulfill that world view.
…supporting Israel gives the US a stronghold in the middle east…
This is a common misunderstanding. The U.S. gains absolutely no localized advantages in maintaining a relationship with Israel. We have no unique military positions or irreplacable business relationships with Israel. None. If anything, our support of Israel strains our much more profitable relationships with their muslim neighbors in the region.
The reason we are married to Israel is AIPAC money. AIPAC will shift support from Biden to Trump the very moment Biden stops supporting Israel or its genocide. AIPAC money is diverse and global. They are kingmakers right now. The game Biden is playing is related to AIPAC and their allies.

Agreed. However, I think being highly motivated by ethnic or religious ideology is a bigger factor on the far-right, whereas money is the primary motivator for the neo-liberal Dems like Biden. There may be a little ideology at play for Biden, but ideology-driven foreign policy seems more likely from a GOP politician. Of course, I think money talks loudest for both camps.
We need a viable progressive party.
It’d be great to have a progressive party but in reality all that would do is ensure republikkklowns getting all the seats. Not a single one of them will vote progressive, all it will do is divide the votes going to the democrats.
They only need kompromat on Biden’s opponent to gain leverage on Biden in a two party system. Israeli sympathizers and other Zionists only support Democrats insofar as the GOP are technically outsiders at the moment. They already started stabbing progressive democrats in the back and will start stabbing centrists in the back closer to the election. Trump is stupid and complicit enough to nuke Gaza if that’s what Nazanyahu asks him to do. Yahu has almost enough American firepower to do the same using conventional weapons. Why get his own hands dirty when he can use a crisis he controls consolidate power over the United States too? Zionism is treason
Didn’t we give them nukes a while back?
Maybe, but if Israel leads the strike, then it’s Israel alone vs the world and that is pretty much their nightmare worst case scenario. They intend to use the US as their own human shields.
Either Biden has a humiliation fetish or he is so delusional that he thinks groveling even harder for Netanyahu is going to win him the election.
Until his complaints are about how he doesn’t have enough books in his cell in the Hague penitentiary, I don’t care about anything that Bibi Fucking Netanyahu has to complain about.
