The United States has announced the approval of the sale of more than $7.4bn in bombs, missiles and related equipment to Israel, which has used American-made weapons to devastating effect during the war in Gaza.

The state department has signed off on the sale of $6.75bn in bombs, guidance kits and fuses, in addition to $660m in Hellfire missiles, according to the US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA).

The proposed sale of the bombs “improves Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats, strengthen its homeland defense, and serves as a deterrent to regional threats”, the DSCA said in a statement.

    Left populism is popular. Center right positions coming from the Democrats are not.

    Would you like fascism or diet fascism? Uhh… Neither. So I guess I will just stay home and not vote

    (Actually, I did vote. But I can understand why a lot of people weren’t motivated to).
