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.

    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
