Kan. Senator wants answers after U.S. paused bomb shipment to Israel

Posted May 08, 2024 8:00 AM

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. paused a shipment of bombs to Israel last week over concerns that Israel was
approaching a decision on launching a full-scale assault on the southern Gaza city of Rafah against the wishes
of the U.S., a senior administration official said Tuesday. On social media, Kansas U.S. Senator Roger Marshall
wrote, " catering to his pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas faction of his party, Joe Biden is blocking aid to Israel. We are
demanding answers.

The shipment was supposed to consist of 1,800 2,000-pound bombs and 1,700 500-pound bombs, according to
the official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive matter, with the focus of U.S.
concern being the larger explosives and how they could be used in a dense urban setting. More than 1 million
civilians are sheltering in Rafah after evacuating other parts of Gaza amid Israel's war on Hamas, which came
after the militant group's deadly attack on Israel on Oct. 7.

President Joe Biden's administration in April began reviewing future transfers of military assistance to Israel as
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government appeared to move closer toward an invasion of Rafah, despite
months of opposition from the White House. The official said the decision to pause the shipment was made last
week and no final decision had been made yet on whether to proceed with the shipment at a later date.

The State Department is separately considering whether to approve the continued transfer of Joint Direct Attack
Munition kits, which place precision guidance systems onto bombs, to Israel, but the review didn't pertain to
imminent shipments.

Joyce Vance has a excellent analysis of that long TIME article

Yesterday, Time magazine published an in-depth interview with Donald Trump titled “How Far Trump Would Go.”
Notice that the title is not a question. It’s a definitive statement.

Last November, we discussed this topic in a piece I wrote called “Frogs Boiled: What Trump is Planning for a
Second Term.” I wrote it when we first learned that Trump had posted his plan for a second term, Project 2025,
online and that it was deeply concerning. Trump means to end democracy, and this new piece in Time, which is
lengthy but deserving of your time, confirms that conclusion.

Project 2025 is available online for all to see, billed as “Building now for a conservative victory through policy,
personnel, and training.” The website reveals the Project is coordinated through the conservative Heritage
Foundation, helmed by three smiling white men and inviting people who land there to sign up so they can stay
in touch.

Some of this, to be clear, is about traditional conservative policy. Other pieces—like the idea of transforming the
ranks of career public servants into party loyalists—are disturbing. And over it all lingers the question: how much
worse do these cold policy prescriptions look in Donald Trump’s hands?

Appears this TIME article is warning us not to vote for Fascism. I'll gonna buy as many copies as I can find and
give them away to select individuals. " Read this great stuff about how easily TSF is getting back in the
White House" With him on the cover, Rs are dying to read about how great he is!
