This is... fi·nal so·lu·tion /'finl s?'lo?oSH?n/ the Nazi policy of exterminating European Jews. Introduced by Heinrich Himmler and administered by Adolf Eichmann, the policy resulted in the murder of 6 million Jewish people in concentration camps between 1941 and 1945. == "Why do they keep calling it a ceasefire? It’s a massacre, not a battle." Does the writer think that it's OK for Hamas to keep firing rockets if Israel stands down? I don't know who fired the first shot this time, but both sides have to stop. -- Blast from the past.... Message 29653639

You've traded in the orange narcissist for a war criminal. The spineless war party lives on. House Democrat Quickly Backs Down on Plan to Ask Biden to Delay Israel Arms Sale Biden recently approved a $735 million weapons sale to Israel by Dave DeCamp Posted on May 18, 2021Categories NewsTags Israel After it was revealed on Monday that president Biden approved a $735 million arms sale to Israel amid the bombing of Gaza, some House Democrats raised concerns about the potential deal. The Hill reported that Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY), who heads the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told lawmakers on Monday night that he would send a letter to President Biden requesting the Israeli arms deal be delayed. But Meeks quickly backed down on the plan and told reporters on Tuesday that he only wants to have a “conversation” about the weapons sale. “What we wanted to do is to have a dialogue and conversation,” Meeks said. “We’re going to have a meeting with the administration tomorrow where the issues and the questions that one may have will be able to be asked, and that was the purpose of considering the letter.” While some progressives took a strong stance against the arms deal, like Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), the idea that the US shouldn’t arm Israel or that it could leverage aid is still a super-minority view in Congress, as most lawmakers are staunch supporters of Israel. The bulk of the $735 million deal is for Boeing-made Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), which can convert unguided bombs into precision-guided munitions. On Saturday, Israel bombed a building in Gaza that housed offices for several media outlets, including The Associated Press, Al Jazeera, and Middle East Eye. Analysis of the footage of the airstrikes found the Israelis used munitions from the same family of JDAMs that are included in the $735 weapons package. So far, Israel’s latest onslaught in Gaza has killed at least 217 Palestinians, including 63 children. The Biden administration has failed to condemn the Israeli killing of Palestinian children and is not pressuring Israel to end the bombing campaign.
