The U.S. is “quietly” giving Israel 2,000-pound bombs that are “rarely used by Western militaries anymore due to the scale of civilian casualties they can cause,” according to multiple reports.
Two THOUSAND pound bombs?? According to several outlets, the U.S. authorized new packages which “include more than 1,800 MK84 2,000lb bombs and 500 MK82 500lb ones.”
Meanwhile, Israeli outlet Haaretz reported on Sunday that Israel has created “kill zones” in Gaza to kill on sight anyone who enters, whether they are combatants or not. Sources say that the Israeli military will label anyone a terrorist, whether or not there is proof.
“In practice, a terrorist is anyone the IDF has killed in the areas in which its forces operate,” says a reserve officer who has served in Gaza.
“This was a very grave incident,” a senior Israel Defense Forces officer told Haaretz. “They were unarmed, they didn’t endanger our forces in the area in which they were walking.”
This is a page out of the Obama administration when anyone of military age could be arbitrarily labeled as a combatant to justify their death.
This is happening as the U.S. pays lip service to protecting civilians and slowing down the violence in Israel. They’re not. They’re not even trying.
