‘Complicity’: Leaders, activists slam US for sending more arms to Israel

Al Jazeera  

Media reports say the US has agreed to transfer a new weapons package worth $2.5bn to Israel amid its ongoing Gaza war. The 2,000-pound bombs, which can inflict damage to people up to 1,000 feet away, have been “linked to previous mass-casualty events throughout Israel’s military campaign in Gaza”, the US publication said. “The hypocrisy of Biden’s hollow words & crocodile tears on the ‘humanitarian disaster’ in Gaza while showering Israel with the most lethal & destructive military supplies capable of pulverising buildings & human beings instantly is astounding!” she said in a post on X. She added that while Biden has criticised Israel for their atrocities in Gaza, “he’s actually rewarding them for their filthy fight with billions more in the most lethal weapons – including 2,000 pound bombs that even the US & other countries no longer use in battle because of their catastrophic impacts”. The US’s policy is actually just business as usual.” Laura Blumenfeld, a Middle East analyst at the Johns Hopkins University, told Al Jazeera the arms shipment to Israel “puts Biden on a tightrope”.
