Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Washington is sending its fascist puppets in Tel Aviv another $8.7 billion in military supplies. Snip:

Israel said on 26 September it had secured an $8.7 billion aid package from the US government to support its ongoing military assaults on Lebanon and Gaza and to maintain a "qualitative military edge in the region," Reuters reported on 26 September.

[...]

Reuters reported in late June that Tel Aviv's allies in Washington had sent more than 10,000 highly destructive 2,000-pound bombs and thousands of Hellfire missiles since the start of the war in Gaza last October.

The news agency added that Washington had transferred at least 14,000 of the MK-84 2,000-pound bombs, 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire precision-guided air-to-ground missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 air-dropped small-diameter bombs, and other munitions.

This goddamn awful country built on settler colonial genocide can’t freaking help support another just like it.

I’m beside myself with impotent rage.

Genocide might be the shittiest religion.

Infinite DF-41s on AmeriKKKa

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Considering over 100 aid packages have been sent that don't meet the congressional review threshold, making them public knowledge, how could you know?

Can't hold them accountable for war crimes if they don't have to tell you they contributed...

[–] nothing@lemm.ee 39 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Wait. Wait.

If I change my name to "Israel" can I get in on this?

israel-cool big shoes to fill

[–] FourteenEyes@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

Showing up to the DC bank with a fake mustache and a nametag that says "Israel" and a giant novelty check for $40 billion

[–] BelieveRevolt@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Sorry, Israel already has a guy named Israel as their foreign minister so this loophole is closed.

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 day ago

Yes, but I am the guy named Israel that the foreign minister of Israel named Israel sends to pick up the checks made out to Israel.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

You’re not murderous enough. Sorry, I don’t make the rules.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 38 points 1 day ago

Another genocide package. Awesome. Under the Dems too. What an abhorrent country.

Good thing the war in ukraine is still going on. Any western weapon that gets blown up by russia is a weapon that can't be sent to the middle east

[–] wild_dog@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

yeah but the longer the war in Ukraine goes, the closer we get to nuclear war

War is good for business, and the American economy. GDP about to go up again.

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

so how many billions is that this year so far?
