First reported by Axios on Friday night: ‘The State Department has notified Congress “informally” of an $8 billion proposed arms deal with Israel that will include munitions for fighter jets and attack helicopters as well as artillery shells, two sources with direct knowledge tell Axios,’ the outlet explained.
However, the publication did not elaborate on what “informally” means, Kyle Anzalone for Antiwar.com noted.
According to Axios, the sale ‘includes AIM-120C-8 AMRAAM air-to-air missiles for fighter jets to defend against airborne threats, including drones. The sale also includes 155mm artillery shells and Hellfire AGM-114 missiles for attack helicopters. [It] also includes small diameter bombs, JDAM tail kits that turn “dumb bombs” to precision munitions, 500-lb warheads and bomb fuzes.’
The deal still requires support from the House and Senate.
A source acquainted with the arms deal said the State Department told Congress the package is aimed at “supporting Israel’s long-term security by resupplying stocks of critical munitions and air defense capabilities.”
A U.S. official stated: “The President has made clear Israel has a right to defend its citizens, consistent with international law and international humanitarian law, and to deter aggression from Iran and its proxy organizations. We will continue to provide the capabilities necessary for Israel’s defense.”
The Financial Times noted that ‘Israel’s offensive in Gaza has killed more than 45,000 people in the enclave, according to Palestinian health authorities.’
Antiwar.com also noted that ‘Israel receives most of its weapons, 78%, from the US, and officials in Tel Aviv have acknowledged it would not be able to sustain its military operations with continued US support for more than a few months. Since the October 7 attack, the US has provided Israel with $22 billion in military aid.’
Antiwar.com further points out that ‘Biden has been routinely criticized by Republicans in Washington and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for not providing Israel with enough military support.’
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
The Biden administration will absolutely get the support it needs in Congress and the Senate, no doubt about it. In July, when Netanyahu addressed Congress, that maniac received so much applause and standing ovations it was truly a pitiful sight to behold, though unsurprising. Al Mayadeen reported:
While Congress interrupted Netanyahu’s speech 39 times to clap and give the Prime Minister a standing ovation, Mondoweiss‘s Ben Norton said to describe the speech as “well received” would be a criminal understatement.
Out of the 39 applauses, 23 were standing ovations. In minutes, out of the 40 minutes and 30 seconds during which Netanyahu stood at the podium, 10 minutes and 55 seconds consisted of clapping. Statistically, over one-fourth, or 27% of Netanyahu’s speech was applause.
It is no secret whatsoever that the American government is basically bought and paid for by Israeli and pro-Zionist lobbyists and special interest groups. Biden is once again being the good little warwhore and boy toy that he is, and is giving one of his final parting gifts to his puppet masters.
Psalm 120:6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace. [7] I am for peace: but when I speak, they are for war.

With Trump taking over later this month, you can expect wars in the Middle East and Israel to greatly expand, and see astronomical amounts of funding go to Israel, as we know Trump is 100% in the back pocket of his Zionist masters; that is my prediction anyways.
I haven’t had a great chance to adequately discuss this yet, but the fall of Syria last month is a huge strategic victory for the U.S. and Israel, as allied American and Israeli forces in the region have been quietly carrying out military campaigns to destroy what remains of the old Syrian military and government, in support of their proxy group Al-Qaeda, but renamed something a little more flowery so people don’t realize we’ve been funding radical Jihadists for decades.
So, the fall of Syria allows the U.S. and Israel, by proxy, to be right on the doorstep of Iran; a nation that the U.S. has long salivated over to overthrow. By all accounts, expect the U.S. and Israel to plot and initiate false flags to justify going to war with Iran…
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I think these administrations, take TP and write the amount of money on it they need; cause there is no real money in which they can give. What a better way to fire off a world war then to send money to push other country’s into war, so they can get into the game: buy a starting line-up spot.
These nutbags have lost their minds; Thanks to the Lord Jesus Christ, who is in complete control and has it all worked out. It would be a good idea to get on the Lord’s side to receive His Grace and Mercy.
