The State Department announced on Friday that it was planning to send Israel more than $6.5 billion of weapons aid that included Apache attack helicopters and combat land vehicles, bypassing a congressional review process.

The packages of four weapons systems had been under review for months by the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

The State Department is supposed to wait for approval from the top two members on each of those committees before announcing the aid. But in this case, the department under Secretary of State Marco Rubio circumvented that norm.

It was the third time that the Trump administration has bypassed this part of the congressional process, called informal review, to send weapons to Israel.

      For not supporting a war criminal you surprisingly did more than nothing to get the worst of them in power. It’s almost like you care about identity politics more than actual real life outcomes for people you supposedly care about

      No fuck you. Palestinian protest voters like you are the reaspn Trump is in office a second time. What’s wrong clown? Things not better for the people of Gaza under the antichrist that you helped put on power by not voting?

      Personally I don’t give two fucks about the middle east. I hate that Gaza children are being murdered, I very much want all funding to Israel reduced to 0. But when it comes to women and LGBTQ rights being pro Palestine while Hamas is in charge is being about as dumb as you are.

      But you probably don’t care about those rights anyway do you. So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion

        Fuck you. I never supporter Trump and never asked anybody to vote for him and I said multiple time that he is a genocide supporter while you support one of the two war criminal and genocidal enabler

        Personally I don’t give two fucks about the middle east.

        So fuck off, scum. As a decent human being I do not want any harm for Americans despite not being American and thinking that they do not know what is good for them.

        I hate that Gaza children are being murdered

        You support one of the two war criminals while I support neither so you just a liar and a hypocrite . You clearly love seeing them murdered

        So in my eyes, you are a right wing theocrat of a different made up religion

        I don’t gives a damn of your trashy opinion about me. If you defend trump or biden or harris gaza policies than you are a nazi to me
