The United States has spent a record of at least $17.9 billion on military aid to Israel since the war in Gaza began and led to escalating conflict around the Middle East.

Unlike the United States’ publicly documented military aid to Ukraine, it was impossible to get the full details of what the U.S. has shipped Israel since last Oct. 7, so the $17.9 billion for the year is a partial figure, the researchers said.

They cited Biden administration “efforts to hide the full amounts of aid and types of systems through bureaucratic maneuvering.”

    The genocide is bipartisan, and Biden is in power right now. It’s framed as Biden policy, because it literally is.

      It’s literally 80 years of policy, but y’all are absolutely fixated on Biden/Democrats and can not fathom how worse it’s going to be under Trump. You are offended at the very idea you could be mistaken about this; fingers in your ears, “nyah nyah nyah”…

      Here’s my prediction: once Trump wins, the Gaza protests will wither and stop. Because the way high up directive on these protests is about the Democrats losing, not about Gaza.

        What the fuck are you talking about? Are you trying to tell me that the overwhelming Muslim or leftist progressive protesters want a Trump presidency? How the fuck does that make sense?

        No its about stopping a genocide you ghoul. It’s hard to make the situation worse than it is. Biden is obligated to stop arms sales years ago.
