800th US arms delivery to Israel in 600 days

US President Donald Trump

As the genocide in Gaza marked its 600th day, Israel announced that it had received the 800th airlift of US weapons since October 7, 2023, combined with 140 maritime deliveries of weapons.

Many say that Washington has as much complicity in the genocide as Tel Aviv.

What they should be doing is cutting off aid to Israel, all of it; all US Aid to Israel needs to be shut off. There needs to be an arms embargo. There would have to be this recognition that Washington is funding and facilitating an active genocide, and has been doing so for years and years, and this is nowhere in the intentions of either a ruling class party.

US President Donald Trump recently joined other leading Western nations in publicly calling for Israel to stop the war in Gaza as quickly as possible.

But many believe his actions speak far louder than his words, which appear to many as insincere.

They have absolutely no intention of actually bringing Israel's genocide against Palestine to an end, because if they were genuine about this, then they wouldn't be giving them so much support.

There has been widespread reporting that Trump's relationship with Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu has become strained, with many across the mainstream media calling for the corruption embattled Netanyahu to finally lose influence in Washington.

To hold Benjamin Netanyahu accountable, not to appease him and not to give him everything he wants, because Benjamin Netanyahu's agenda is not peace but war and continuation of domination and expansion.

The US has given Israel 90,000 tons of weapons and at a rate of over one and a half shipments per day, helping to kill at least 54,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

The United States accounts for two-thirds of Israel's weapons imports, with Germany providing almost all the rest.

Berlin recently announced that it will refuse calls from across the European Union for an arms embargo on Israel.
