Trump sending 40,000 tons of bombs to Israel

The Trump administration is shipping 40,000 Mark 84 and Blu-117 bombs to Israel, each weighing 2,000 pounds. That's 40,000 tons of ordnance. For scale: the largest WWII air raid on Berlin dropped 3,000 tons. Operation Meetinghouse on Tokyo dropped 1,600 tons and killed over 100,000 civilians. The atomic bomb on Hiroshima was one-third the destructive power of what Trump is sending to one country. Netanyahu's government is not fighting a war. It's committing genocide in Gaza, where 250,000 Palestinians have been killed or wounded, 92 percent of homes destroyed, 34 of 36 hospitals demolished. The IDF already dropped 600 of these bombs on civilian zones after October 7. Biden paused the shipments once. Trump accelerated them. Mark 84s have a half-mile destruction radius and a thermal wave the temperature of the sun's surface. Within 100 feet, rock melts and human flesh turns to vapor. The US military stopped using them in urban areas because they kill too many civilians. That's exactly why Netanyahu wants them. This gets called an "arms sale." It's not. It's a $3 billion gift funded by American taxpayers through Foreign Military Financing, a scam that disguises welfare as capitalism. The US has already transferred $352 billion to Israel since 1951. Mike Huckabee, the Christian Zionist running the US Embassy in Jerusalem, initiated the request. Marco Rubio at State approved it. Four neocon committee chairs need to sign off: Jim Risch, Jeanne Shaheen, Brian Mast, and Gregory Meeks. All took millions from the Israel lobby. Mast volunteered for the IDF in 2015 and showed up to Congress in an IDF uniform in 2023. None of this has gotten public scrutiny. Only outrage stops it.
