The Biden administration is close to approving the sale of as many as 50 American-made F-15 fighter jets to Israel, in a deal expected to be worth more than $18 billion, according to three people familiar with the matter.

The transaction, which would amount to the largest US foreign military sale to Israel since the country went to war with Hamas on October 7, comes as the administration is also expected to notify Congress soon of a large new sale of precision-guided munitions kits to Israel, the people said.

The new sales of some of the US’ most sophisticated weaponry underscore the extent to which the US continues to support Israel militarily, even as Biden administration officials criticize Israel’s operations in Gaza, which have killed more than 32,000 Palestinians since October, according to the Gaza ministry of health.

      Nah, thoughts and prayers should be plenty. Maybe they wouldn’t need an iron dome if they weren’t constantly being insufferable belligerents.

          They should have considered the children before they went all in on bombing and starving other people’s kids

            So you are ok with children dying as long as they are the “right” children?

            I’m going to have to ask you to really think about that view.

              If I make horrible decisions my kid will suffer the consequences. That’s why I don’t go around doing horrific crimes.

                  I’m OK with children dying as long as they aren’t my children. Is that what you want to hear? Israel doesn’t get to murder thousands of children and then hide behind their own. Fuck off.

                    No you can freely fuck yourself though.

                    Kids are kids, they are subjected to adults whims.

                    You are a bad person if you are ok with the killing of any children.

                    Congratulations you’ve become what you seek to destroy.

                    You should take a long look at yourself.

                    Have the day you deserve
