The US says it has given Israel $6.5 billion in military aid to support the slaughter in Gaza
The US has given Israel a massive number of heavy munitions since October 7, including 14,000 of the highly destructive MK-84 2,000-pound bombs that have been repeatedly dropped on civilians in Gaza, Reuters reported on Saturday.
Two US officials told Reuters that the US has also sent 6,500 500-pound bombs, 3,000 Hellfire missiles, 1,000 bunker-buster bombs, 2,600 small-diameter bombs, and other munitions.
The large number of munitions demonstrates the fact that the Biden administration’s pause on a shipment of powerful bombs did not have a real impact on US military support for Israel. Axios reported on June 27 that the US has approved the transfer of 1,700 500-pound bombs that were part of the paused shipment.
An administration official told reporters last week that the US has provided Israel with $6.5 billion worth of weapons since October 7 to support the slaughter and starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. The administration has vowed Israel will receive all of the $17 billion in additional military aid that was included in the $95 billion bill President Biden signed into law in April.
Despite the massive support, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently accused the US of withholding military aid, a claim the White House called “inaccurate.” Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant visited Washington last week, and US officials worked to assure him they were doing everything they could to get Israel all the weapons it wants.

This declining support for Israel in the US, especially amongst Biden’s democratic base, is driving factor behind the dynamic which I have simply come to think of as Biden and the Biden administration paying “lip service”, softly rebuking and condemning Netanyahu with rhetoric while continuing to enable and support him materially and funneling more weapons and money to Israel. This will be expanded on in the next article of this series, which will shift focus from Oct 7th, to the genocidal actions and intent since Oct 7th, Israel’s war on the UN, and the geopolitical dynamics and consequences of this “war”.
